SOUL. R&B. HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE.
KILLER VOCALS, TOP SESSION MUSICIANS.
ABOUT
If you've been searching for a bona fidé soul band to spice up your night, you may as well stop looking as these guys are the real deal. Ranging from 7 piece to 12 piece, this flexible outfit will take you on a journey through the soul genre; from the main classics of Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan and Whitney, through the nostalgic cut of R&B with the killing tunes of Destiny's Child and Usher, to the genesis of neo-soul with genre-defining hits by Lauryn Hill and Erikah Badu.
Plug in your headphones and have a listen!
'I just wanted to say the BIGGEST THANK YOU to you and Jupiter Funk!!! From the Hora to the rapping to the incredible singing, you guys literally rocked it and gave us the wedding of our dreams.

I cannot thank you guys enough for everything you did for the wedding. It was just seamless, it was the music perfect PERFECT music set. Everyone killed it for the rehearsal dinner, the cocktails, the ceremony. You brought an energy that I will never ever forget for the rest of my life to that wedding that day. The sax playing, the games you played with them, making everyone sing. It was just absolute perfection.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us. I hope you all had an absolute blast and got home ok! Wow, what a weekend!
The House of Ellington flew out for this idyllic 2 day event, at which our performers made a number of appearances. At the rehearsal dinner, Aleysha and Jerome (keys), performed a beautiful duo set at the GH Tremezzo Hotel. Special request was 'That's Amore' to set the scene on a gorgeous Italian evening.
Fast forward to wedding day, where we kicked off the ceremony teaming up with string quartet to perform a dreamy rendition of 'I'm Kissing You' by Des'ree. The guests took a short walk along the lake in 30 degree bliss to the aperitif where they were met by Jaz and George doing a guitar/vocal duo - after 45 min we rotated the singers for a change in flavour where Kirsten jumped in and performed the son of the bride's special request 'Watermelon Sugar' by Harry Styles. The dinner took place in the glass house of Villa Pizzo where everntually Jupiter Funk 8 piece band took over and kicked off performing the Father/Daughter dance 'Something Got Me Started' by Simply Red. We partied the night away, starting with a soul heavy first set, progressing into some more contemporary bangers. Then it was time to hand over to Alice and Taylor who took the guests into the early hours with a newlywed DJ duo set!

With a lead time of 8 days between the initial enquiry and the actual event, this was a true opportunity to put our logistics system to the test. We worked together closely with the client's PA to make sure that everything ran smoothly, and boy it did! A true testament that with a focussed mind you can make it happen. We made sure that all flights/accommodation and transfers were booked with 5 days to spare to make sure that we had time to hone in on the idiosyncrasies of the event.
This event was the birthday party of a supermarket owner, so whilst we wanted to make the night fun for everyone, we also wanted it to feel special for the birthday boy, so a last minute special request and some awesome interactive performances made it just that. Not to mention of course a big rendition of 'Happy Birthday'!

PRODUCTION PACKAGES
In order to simplify your decision making process, we offer two straightforward packages to support the showband; STANDARD and PREMIUM. Unless you are tied in to providing sound production yourself, all our clients will require sound production and a sound engineer, therefore this is included in both packages. The standard package includes some lighting and is connected together in such a way that it runs automatically. Our premium package, however, includes a lighting engineer who can design the lighting to beautifully complement the event and also react in real time to the movement of the music. The premium lighting package involves much more comprehensive lighting and also includes our sleek staging.
OUR PREMIUM PACKAGE (STAGE ALSO AVAILABLE IN WHITE)
Whilst we offer the 2 straightforward package options for tech we also are delighted to offer fully bespoke design to compliment our music. It may be that your overall event design requires us to slot in with a specific look, or you just want to go huge with the vision and take a version of our premium package and upgrade it to really go BIG! Be it mirrored staging, lighting rigs in the ceiling, an all white aesthetic, or lights on podiums around the room, there is usually an answer to most requests and using our extensive expertise in the industry we can help you make your vision a beautiful reality. If you want to go bespoke, simply request a call with our AV team to start to put these ideas in motion. We can give you an advanced quote and also look into any restrictions that may need to be overcome in order to make it happen. When we're putting together unique designs we do need time on the day or before the day to execute them to the highest standard, so it's worth bearing in mind not all bespoke designs can be achieved in a short room turnaround!
