ROAMING BAND               

Guitars, upright bass, violin, drums, four vocals

Ref: J220

Style:  Playful gypsy style from Marley to UK garage

Profile:   What is a Roaming Band? These guys have re-defined the concept with their fully wireless equipment, which allows them to play through their portable PA or connect to a larger system for excellent coverage of a larger event. This means they can perform outside for a drinks reception, wedding or party, giving you fun and interaction with guests, or be your evening party band partying alongside you on the dance floor. During a dinner they can move round the tables while the sound remains even across the room.

But roaming is far from the end of the story. The superb musicianship and excellent voices of all the band members has to be heard to be appreciated, and you can get a good feel for it from the video below. Four-part harmonies and gypsy-style rhythms, from Marley to UK garage, this is music to delight everyone.

Showman String Quartet

Showman String Quartet

More than just background music …  STRING QUARTET and voices

Ref.  ST110

Style:  A mix of classical, film, jazz, gypsy, opera, show music – presented with song, dance and comedy.

Profile:  Not only a perfectly elegant background string quartet, the infamous Bowjangles have a trick up their sleeves. The group have a unique music-comedy show which they have performed at private and corporate events, theatres and arts festivals the world over. This exciting show combines cleverly-arranged music of many genres with four-part harmony singing, hilarious comedy and energetic dance moves. Where appropriate, the group can also serenade your guests and even introduce a little gentle audience participation. When Bowjangles play first gentle background music and then something a little different, your guests will be drawn into an exciting entertainment. The Bowjangles show works well at drinks receptions or as an after-dinner show, and is flexible enough to be performed in most venues, from large well equipped stages to smaller rooms. The group can play with or without radio microphones depending on the size of audience. Bowjangles are a string quartet like you will never have seen before. All classically trained to virtuosic levels, they also leap, juggle, sing and joke, leaving their audiences incredulous. Expect a cello-playing Charleston, a sexy tango, musical tennis, sweet four part harmony singing and to laugh until your sides ache. A perfect after dinner experience for any kind of event.
