Overview

Light Party are a truly special band, with a fancy new LED drum kit your guests will be talking about your special day for years to come! Based in Kent Light Party are available UK wide.

Light Party are one of the only bands in the entire world to have this fully interactive, versatile, colourful, light up drum kit as they built it themselves. Using state of the art technology to sample any sound, from anywhere and place it on the drum kit. This allows them to not only have a sound that is identical to the records we all know and love, but also the ability to sample everything from phone voice notes of well wishes and birthday messages, to iconic movie quotes and instrumental hooks, all played live on the drum kit. So in other words the band can play any song, from any genre, as close as physically possible to the original track and still deliver it in an incredible live performance.

Not only do they have this one of a kind, state of the art stage centrepiece, but the musicians that surround it are some of the finest in the World. With members that have played with the likes of Adele, Michael Buble, Olly Murs, Jennifer Lopez and Sam Smith plus many, many more household names the standard of musicianship is second to none. This allows the band to be incredibly versatile as they have been lucky enough to play at some of the most prestigious venues around the World such as the O2 Arena, Wembley Stadium, Madison Square Gardens, plus the Troubadour in LA, London's Roundhouse, Atlantis Palm Hotel in Dubai, and even the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

We are so so thankful for the amazing job you did on Saturday. The band were just perfect and just what we wanted and more. I am actually glad we were let down and booked you instead, music choices were perfect too and the female singer was amazing do let her know.Thank you once again and please keep us posted on upcoming events we can attend as I know a few of us will be wanting to come to them.

Cannot say enough about how great Light Party were. After booking we were so excited to see just how different they were going to be from the other bands we had previous booked for our summer ball each year! The guys were fantastic and took this years ball to a different level of special! Daniels version of prince had to be the highlight for me as well as the LED drummer (sorry I have forgotten his name) he was amazing and so full of energy the entire night. Thank you guys and please make some more LED instruments so we can book you again next year!

Well what can we say. UNBELIEVABLE!! Seriously guys you were unreal, I cannot stop raving about you and all the guests seem to talk about is you guys. Ollie on drums was so cool I have never seen a band play a lot of what you did live and it was just so perfect for us. The garage set was wicked and the hip hop references etc so cool. Thank you for making the party so good and for allowing us to join in. I am sure we will be talking about the party for many years to come all because of you guys.

Just a quick note to say you exceeded all expectations last night we are slightly fragile today and a little forgetful of certain parts of the night but honestly I can remember that I didn’t sit down once! Being 40 has never felt so good (hung-over not included)! Steve sends his best and mirrors my thoughts about you and the band. Lovely to meet you yesterday and look forward to my 50th haha

Thank you for letting us know you all had a good time but I can assure you that we had an even better one watching you all in action. We must have unknowingly underestimated just how spectacular your band was going to be! Still we receive texts and calls about you asking for details or where they can come and see you! If you do have dates in the diary can you send me them so we can possibly get down to see you all. Thanks again for being so good.

Daniel what a band you have!! I am speechless there is good and then there is you! Light Party were sensational and the fact I can now say I am part of the band is even more sensational as I two left feet and I am toned deaf but I think I can play drums now. Please pass this on to Hireaband as I have also sent a review to them and we will be booking you again that’s for sure.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.

How much do you charge?

You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.

What if any timings change after booking you?

No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.

What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?

Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

We don't always have public gigs to invite you to (weddings tend to be private!), but we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. A public performance will often be posted on this page too, so it's worth checking back — and if we do have one coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

How much contact will we have with the band before the wedding?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 3 months before your date, so you can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, the Hireaband team are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

How many songs will the band learn especially for me?

We're happy to learn your first dance or a special request. Other songs depend on the time frame given and what the songs are. We're always keen to learn new things, so do let us know and we'll try to accommodate as best we can for you.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Yes, within reason. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, and we're experts at reading a room and picking the right songs on the night to keep everyone dancing. We're also always happy to tweak the setlist based on your taste — send us a few "must plays" and a few "please avoids" and we'll build the night around them. Just bear in mind that learning brand new songs from scratch (aside from your first dance) depends on notice — see above!

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. It takes a while for us to rehearse a song to the high standards that we set ourselves. If you can give us at least 8 weeks' notice, that should be fine. The song also has to be suitable for a band. If we can't do it justice, then we can put it on an iPod and go seamlessly into our set at the end of it.

How much space does the band need?

This will vary depending on the size of the band and the setup on the night, but we've performed at a huge variety of venues and can comfortably fit into most spaces that have hosted a live band before. If your venue has anything a little unusual about it, we can usually find a way to make it work, so just get in touch if you're not sure and we'll be happy to advise.

What is our line-up?

We're a 7 to 12 piece show-band, built around our one-of-a-kind LED drum kit centrepiece.

What's special about our drum kit?

We built the only one of its kind in the world — a fully interactive, colour-changing LED drum kit that can sample any sound, from anywhere, and play it live. It can be colour-coded to match your theme, and we can even sample phone voice notes, well wishes or iconic movie quotes to play live on the night.

Have we performed with well-known artists or at prestigious venues?

Yes — our members have played with the likes of Adele, Michael Bublé, Olly Murs, Jennifer Lopez and Sam Smith, and we've performed at venues including the O2 Arena, Wembley Stadium, Madison Square Garden, the Troubadour in LA, London's Roundhouse, the Atlantis Palm Hotel in Dubai, and the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

How long do you take to set up?

We ask for around an hour to set up and check everything is working, but if it needs to be shorter, just let us know and we'll always accommodate as best we can.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object, but we will require an additional fee for travel and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us. Any price you receive already includes travel costs, so there won't be any surprise extras on top.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Normally a catering company will provide a 'crew meal' as part of their package, or we're happy to have evening food that's already available.

What do you wear?

We tend to be 'smart casual' as in our pictures and video. However, we can be smarter or more casual depending on your event and requirements.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets as required on the night, up until midnight. We can play past midnight, but it can incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. We can also add an additional 1hr set for a small fee!

Do you take breaks, and what happens to the music then?

Yes, we'll take short breaks between sets to grab a drink and catch our breath! During these breaks we'll have background music playing through our own PA system, so there's never a dead moment on the dancefloor. Just let us know if you have a particular playlist or Spotify account you'd like us to use.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service whenever we're not performing — so between sets and after our last set, right up until midnight (or your curfew if earlier). These are tried-and-tested playlists that we've refined over countless events, but you're also welcome to send us your own playlist to play instead. If you'd like a bit more than that, we offer an upgrade to a manned DJ service, where a band member stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Our standard on-site time runs from 6pm to midnight, but we're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need us there earlier for an afternoon slot or performing later into the night, just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate — additional fees may apply for extended hours.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of our standard package, we can offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee — things like extra performance sets, a manned DJ service, acoustic sets for your ceremony or drinks reception, and more. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes, all we need is a clear area in which to set up and a power supply.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Hireaband will send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. We don't 'love' them, but we absolutely can work within them.

What happens if one of the band is ill on the day of my event?

We have a network of fellow musicians that we can call on to stand in on the rare occasion one of the band is ill. On top of that, Hireaband is the UK's biggest entertainment agency and has access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.
