ABOUT THE SHOW BAND
Take your wedding up a notch with The Jonny Ross Show Band, a seriously impressive live act built to make a statement. This 12-piece line up features a full horn section and strings, creating a huge, rich sound that you simply do not get with a standard function band. Fronted by Jonny Ross and Alice Higgins, they move effortlessly through pop, Motown, R&B and dance, delivering big vocals, tight musicianship and the kind of energy that fills a room from the first note. The band can scale things to suit your plans, with line-ups ranging from 6 to 12 pieces, and they bring a full lighting setup and staging to give your evening that proper showtime feel. If you are looking for all day entertainment, they can also provide a string quartet for your ceremony or drinks reception, followed by a DJ and live sax to keep the party going long after the band’s final set.

Q&A

To ensure you love the band you want, it’s a great idea to attend one our showcase events to see the band live. Visiting a live showcase allows you to experience the band’s performance first-hand, giving you a genuine feel of their energy, stage presence, and ability to interact with the audience. This chance is priceless for determining whether the band fits with the overall theme and aesthetic of your event.
2. WILL THEY LEARN MY FIRST DANCE SONG?
The first dance is the showpiece of your evening and it’s great to have your band perform the song live. When picking your band, have a think about what first dance you’re going to choose and which band would suit the song. We have some wedding bands for hire that are really good at romantic songs and others that are good for upbeat songs. It’s good to keep this in mind when selecting the band for your wedding or event.
