THE UPBEAT BAND provide exciting, entertaining and danceable live music. They are the perfect band for your special birthday party, wedding, outdoor event, or your club or pub. The experienced six piece band comprises guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, and is fronted by two talented vocalists. Members of The Upbeat Band include four ex-professional musicians, who have decades of experience touring worldwide. This talented band have gained an enviable reputation, and are rebooked wherever they perform. Their eclectic and extensive repertoire includes songs by Adele, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, Sister Sledge, Beyonce, Daft Punk, James Brown and Aretha Franklin, and for those that want to ‘rock out’ – they have something for you as well! Their large repertoire means that they can adapt their sets to suit the venue or event, and although the songs are mostly ‘upbeat’ they can also mix in some ballads and ‘smooth soul’ material. All the musicians use state of the art pro gear and the band has a full range PA system that is powerful enough for outdoor events, but is equally at home in a small pub or club. They also carry a full lighting rig. The band is based on the south coast near Brighton and perform in the Sussex, Surrey, Hants and Kent area, but are happy to travel further afield. “THE UPBEAT BAND – DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN!”

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Our line-up is as follows: Male & Female Lead Vocals, Keys, Guitar, Bass and Drums.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We can provide playlisted recorded music before and between our sets. We do not offer a DJ service.

How much time do you need to set up?

2 hours.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. Unless otherwise stated in our pricing, there is a fee of £30 per song for this service to take into account rehearsal times, etc.
