The Choice – what line up?

One of the things we get asked most from clients is “what line up do you think will work best for my event?”

Well….there are a few things that need to be thought of before we can answer that question:

  1. How much space do you have for the band to set up in?
  2. What sort of budget are you looking to spend?

The Choice perform from a 4 piece line up through to the ‘ultimate’ 8 piece combination and every size in-between – (see the line-up page)

The nucleus of the band has always been the 4 piece combination.  It is also worth pointing out that we are one of the few 4 piece bands to boast two girls in their line up plus both male and female lead vocalists.

 

From this ‘classic’ 4 piece line-up all other options are added: Alto Sax, Trumpet, Tenor Sax, Second Female Vocalist or Percussion.

One thing that might surprise people is that the number in the band doesn’t particularly make a difference to the amount of people that will dance. This is much more down to picking the right songs at the right time, knowing how to read an audience – which we are brilliant at!!

 

Our most popular line up at the moment is the 6 piece: to include Sax and Trumpet.

 

 

The brass adds another layer to The Choice sound and to the visual look of the band as well.

A great feature is when Andy our lovely sax player performs the classic Madness song  ‘One Step Beyond’ – where he goes out into the audience playing and doing the Madness dance – usually joined  by the audience! – certainly something your guests will remember.

This is one of those questions you need to answer, if you haven’t got a lot of space then having the 6-8 piece band squashed in a corner may not look so good – if this is the case then maybe the 4-5 piece is a better option!

We have recently, following repeated requests added a Trio line-up, click here to listen:

 

 

The Trio specializes in Rock, Indie and all those great classic band songs – music with attitude. The Trio is an ideal solution for those on a tighter budget and for those wavering between booking  a disco or band. With the Trio you can usually afford to have both! – we can also supply the disco which we like to call  “Best of Both Worlds Option!”

 

Whatever line-up option you go for rest assured a great night will be had by all.

Through our experience and ability to read an audience The Choice is second to none, and our enthusiasm is without question the single most important feature what ever size line-up you choose!
