The Dark Blues

The UK's premier party band
The Dark Blues are a unique combination of youth, experience, enthusiasm and professionalism. Long known as Britain's most popular party musicians - a title originally coined by Harpers & Queen - their career highlights include many of the Royal Family's private parties at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

Recently (June 2009) Teresa Clue, Event Organiser at Farnham Castle, said they were the best live group they have ever had. Most live bands end up too loud and people evacuate the room - but not The Dark Blues, they kept the room and the floor full all night!

Italian tours are becoming a speciality for The Dark Blues. Following successful concerts for the Festa del Vino in 2005 and 2006, the Mayor of Greve in Chianti invited the band back to play for an audience of thousands in the main Piazza, to mark the start of the grape harvest on Sunday 14 September 2008. After staying in Nigel's Tuscan home, Ripertoli, for a few days, with two additional private concerts, the band moved to Rome for a gig in the rooftop ballroom of the Exedra Hotel on September 20, followed by a fundraising Ball in Florence on September 26 for the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards.

And to cap all that, The Dark Blues flew to Muscat, Oman to play for the country's premier Charity Ball on December 4... and returned for the annual Mistletoe Ball at The Dorchester the following night!

Inferno

Inferno are a 4 piece band based in Central England, UK., playing exciting versions of hit songs of the past 4 decades. They are ace to dance to & are guaranteed to liven up any party or function.

I could write a book and still not be able to express my thoughts on these guys and I’m speaking as an ex mobile disco/live band operator with some twenty years experience. But don’t take my word for it, the manager of the bar at our function said, “This is the best gig I’ve ever had the pleasure of working on, and I’ve see and suffered plenty in my time”. These guys play with a hundred years of experience and enthusiasm like it was their first gig, absolutely first class musicians and personalities to match, not just while performing but off-stage too. They did a fantastic job at my son’s wedding and exceeded everything we expected and hoped for. We are all so impressed I am changing the date and venue for my 50th birthday party so we can re-book them. One thing I would say guys, your sound track samples on the website do not do justice to your live performance… and a WARNING to potential customers… they will cost you a small fortune because like me, you’ll be looking for excuses to book them again… but it’ll still be worth every penny. Totally satisfied, thoroughly impressed… all the best guys… Dave Turner, Herefordshire

Perfect Strangers

About Us

Perfect Strangers feature the cream of the Midlands's top musicians. Every member of the band is a highly trained musician. They have performed all over the world with various groups, orchestras and shows.
The music they play is the very best of popular funk, soul, rock, pop and disco classics from the last four decades by artists such as Chic, The Jackson 5, ABBA and Donna Summer through to more contemporary artists such as Sophie Ellis Bextor, Robbie Williams, and Kylie Minogue.
Perfect Strangers are an extremely versatile and lively 6-piece band consisting of a four-piece rhythm section (guitar, bass, keyboards and drums) together with two fantastic female divas. The band provide ideal entertainment for Corporate Functions, Weddings, Dinner Dances, Summer Balls and other Special Occasions.
 
As you will hear from the demo recordings the standard of musicianship is excellent, but what you also get with Perfect Strangers is a completely reliable and professional service from a team that is committed to making your event an evening to remember, take a look at what previous clients have said.
The band is fully self-contained with our own high-quality 5000W P.A. and lighting rig, available in various quantities to suit each venue.
What's more everything you hear is live, no backing tracks, no sequencing!
