Review from Elizabeth Davies - 02/07/2012

The Red Stripe Band's Biography

Line up: 7 piece band: drums, bass, guitar, piano/vocals, tenor saxophone, trumpet, baritone saxophone

Highlights
* Extremely energetic and lively performance guaranteed to liven a party
* Very professional and versatile
* Enormous set list with special requests learned
* Experienced with high profile venues/events
* Wonderful live stage performers and talented musicians
* Fabulous value for money



If you want something different to lift your event then read on…

There is a good reason why people refer to the Red Stripe Band as "Jools Holland on speed".

They have developed an energetic and entertaining stage show since the band was formed over 15 years ago. The seven piece line up is as follows:

*Red Stripe on vocals and piano
*A lively three piece brass section (tenor and baritone sax and trumpet)
*"Stars in Their Eyes Finalist" Gemma Nelson on vocals
*and a rock steady rhythm section

Don’t expect to hear everything from Abba to Robbie Williams!

You will get good time party music and a fun entertaining show with on and off stage antics which will have your guests up dancing and getting down. The show is delivered just like Jools Holland using foot stomping boogie woogie swing jive ska and rock and roll which makes for a truly memorable event.

They have a lovely baritone sax player in the shape of Erica Clarke – you can’t keep her on the stage once she starts to blow her horn! Martin Gray on tenor sax will also come among the dancers! You will also see Red Stripe – strapping on his Keytar to dance with the rest – he can’t be left out.

The lovely Gemma Nelson on vocals will also be getting down.

The Red Stripe Band brings the party to the audience in all senses of the word.

They have taken their show to clubs parties and festivals all over the world from Paris to Monte Carlo and New York to Tokyo including the famous Montreux Jazz Festival.

Their corporate clients over the years have included:

Kleeneze British Telecom Barclays Microsoft De La Rue Morrisons Italian Embassy British Petroleum SAGA

What people say:

"The Band were exceptional - they put so much energy into the performance.  The dance floor was full for the entire evening and so many of our guests commented on how fantastic and unique the band were.

We cannot thank them enough for making our evening reception go with such a swing!  I would recommend the band to anyone"  Wedding Reception - Walton on Thames

"… a big thank-you for playing at our party …..  You had many compliments from our guests and everyone enjoyed it hugely.  The music was perfect for the occasion and we were pleased that we were able to have pretty much the entire party outdoors…Thanks also for setting up so efficiently and for being so cooperative with the boat staff who were all really impressed with you (I think they'd like to recommend you for future functions if you're interested )."

"Dear Neil Just a quick note to say thank you to you and the band for making our reception so special and memorable. Everyone commented on what a fantastic band you were and how great the set was.

"This band were absolutely fabulous, they had our party rocking the moment they started to play. They were fun, funny and professional.

We did not want them to end. When a band are this good at what they do two 1 x hour slots is just not enough."

"Dear Rebecca,

Both Suse and I are still coming down from our 'high' which we experienced two weeks ago with our wedding. It was the best weekend of our lives, in part thanks to you and the phenominal 'Red Stripe Band'. They were absolutely superb and lived up to their expectation from when we saw them the first time at the 2007 Marlborough Jazz Festival. Above anything else, they exceeded our main aim which was to fill the dance floor all evening. We've had some great comments from people, who I must confess, wouldn't necessarily have put 'swing' at the top of their favourite music list, but I think the band won just about everybody over!

From the moment of our first phonecall to the last dance on Saturday night, I feel as though I have been dealt with by a very professional company and would recommend you to anyone. I think you're phone manner is charming and thought the band were SO good, I wish I could thank you in person.

Please pass on my thanks to Neil and his crew and tell them how much I'm looking forward to hearing their music again. I'm dissappointed I missed them at this year's jazz festival but I really can't complain having spent two weeks in paradise that they call The Seychelles.

Rebecca, thank you for all your help,

Kind regards,
Paul"
