Music ...

Deciding that you want music at your event is easy, what style of music is a little bit more difficult. There’s an endless selection to choose from but what works well where?

Pre-Dinner Drinks Party

First impressions count. As your guests arrive, live background music creates a warm & welcoming atmosphere whilst also allowing you to talk without having to SHOUT! Popular choices include String Quartets, Pianists and Jazz trios - an ideal way to set the standard for the evening ahead.

Live Music

After your guests have been wined and dined it’s time to face the music & dance! Keeping in tune with the type of party you are hosting, Arena provides you live music ranging from a sophisticated four piece to an all-singing all-dancing eleven piece supergroup. We guarantee you there’s a band to suit every venue and more importantly every audience.

For instance, a Party Covers band will let you sample a little of everything concentrating mainly on pop music through the ages from the 60s & 70s through to current chart hits via the 80s & 90s.

If pop music isn’t your ‘thing’ try a different style! Choose Swing for the more laid back, a Ceilidh for the energetic or dedicate your night to one of the classic era’s - psychedelic 60s, glam-rock 70s, electric 80s or the Britpop 90s.

One of the most popular musical trends for a corporate event is a tribute act. Paying homage to your favourite group or singer you can dance the night away with the likes of Tom Jones, Queen, Robbie Williams, Kylie or Abba to mention a few. The basic rule is: if there’s an act, there’ll be a tribute!

Star Name

If you really want to go all out and impress your esteemed clients and colleagues there’s no better way than to book a famous face to take charge of your evening’s entertainment. Names including Heather Small, Michael Ball, Jools Holland & Tony Hadley have delighted corporate audiences in a variety of venues throughout the country ranging from a hotel function suite to the grounds of a Stately home.

Theme Music

If you’re organising a theme event, live music plays a vital part in the evening’s entertainment. The most popular themes are 1920’s, James Bond, Caribbean, Western & 70s disco including dancers and a funky repertoire of hits no one ever forgets!

DJ’s

If it’s not live music you’re looking for, a professional DJ is a great way to fill the dance floor combining a first class sound & lighting system with a ridiculously large selection of CD’s! Add a twist to the standard package with a Karaoke – guaranteed to provide you and your audience with some unusual renditions of classic songs that you can hold against your colleagues for years to come!
