    The Sidemen were formed by three of the south of England's most popular freelance 'dep' musicians. Let's explain. A 'Dep' is someone who gets the call last minute to stand in for a missing band member when needed, often with only a short time to prepare. So, as professional 'Deps', you can be assured that the level of musicianship is second to none and that the Sidemen have well deserved individual reputations as the first guys to phone. Whilst we can't ethically name any names, the Sidemen have worked as deputy and session players for some of the UK's best loved function outfits, so you will probably have already seen some of the members in person!  We are in a lot of musicians phone books along with those of clubs & venues all over the South Coast. Add us to yours and enjoy the benefits. Of course we also have a well earned reputation amongst the local agencies and venues as being highly reliable 1st class entertainment in our own right. We are The Sidemen.

   Having worked for so many of the UK's leading function outfits, the Sidemen have massive combined experience and a very professional outlook to help make your event extra special. Oh and did we mention that being a trio, our cost is surprisingly low considering how good we sound? That said, we can add a saxophone, trumpet or even a female singer if you want a specific sound. Just click the 'Our Colleagues' page. We try and be as bespoke as possible. We'll also arrive promptly (after plenty of personal contact leading up to the event) and have full public liability cover and a great rig of equipment with lighting & background music when needed.


    So how about the music? We play tunes from the Soul era (Otis Reading, Al Green, Stevie Wonder), 50's & 60's (Chuck Berry, The Kinks, Free, James Brown), 70's (Wild Cherry, Steve Miller Band),  90's (Santana, George Michael, Spin Doctors) 00's (Mark Ronson, Sam Sparro, Outkast, Kings Of Leon) and there's even some Bob Marley, Paul Simon & Steppenwolf just to keep absolutely everybody happy. We're always happy to respond to requests on the night too. You should be hearing our demo playing now but if you need any further information, please don't hesitate to ask. We love playing music so we're always happy to talk about your needs.
