When planning an event, you should never underestimate the power of live music, it can change an ordinary occasion into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s a party or wedding, a live band can generate an ambience not found anywhere else. However like most things in life, when you want something special it comes at a price, quite often into the hundreds of pounds. However you shouldn’t feel as though you need to rule out live music, there are a number of cost effective alternatives that won’t break the bank.
Firstly, why not consider a soloist? Soloist can come in many forms, whether you want a violinist to play accompanying music for the bridal procession or a pianist to provide background ambience to a relaxed dinner reception.
Even just a touch of live music can add an extra dimension to an important day.
For those looking for something that feels like a band but without the price tag, a duo of musicians is the perfect alternative.
Firstly duo’s can be very versatile, you can have an acoustic act for those wanting to keep a low-key atmosphere, perfect for cocktail parties.
For those wanting a something a bit more upbeat, there is a growing market of high tech duos that play to backing tracks, this allows a party band sound without the party band budget.
Also, due to it only being two musicians, a duo can perform in the most restricting of spaces, as well as being able to set up in next to no time.
