The
Sidemen - An Extended Band
Don't let the
size of the Sidemen
fool you. Some of the best bands in history have been just a
trio
(3-piece
band). We
carefully arrange our performance to use
the
best instrumentation at hand. In fact, we constantly surprise people
with the size of our sound. Whilst we know that this is a great way to
achieve our sound, keep the cost low for you and provide exactly what
most functions need, sometimes we can alter our set or lineup to suit a
more bespoke situation. Let us explain...
We often do gigs that require
a more
restrained first set, perhaps over
a meal or as background while
guests
arrive. In this case, the usual floor
filling function set may not
be
suitable. No-one likes dancing while they eat! For this reason, we also
have a plethora of early evening songs available from swing standards
to jazzy-soul
numbers.
We'll set the scene according to your event,
simple as that. Just tell us what you need and we can use our extensive
experience to provide the best solutions for you.
On the other hand, we also
have a huge
contact address book full of musicians that relish the chance to join
us on stage. From trumpets
to saxophones,
keyboards
to guitars and even singers.
We're proud of our sound as it is but we also enjoy the
opportunity to call on our friends. If you want more guys on stage or
wanted a certain line-up to suit your event (a rock 'n' roll night
really suits having a sax up there!) then just ask for details. We have
everything you need.
You should now be hearing one of our demo tracks with added SAX!
Also, please don't forget
that we can offer smaller
groups
for earlier in the day. We do this often for weddings; a singer &
two
guitars playing during the
meal (pop, folk, jazz,
swing) and then a full band
for the evening. Easy to sort and the
organisation of one band/act is far simpler so drop us a line with whatever you need.
