Midnight Jukebox

Overview

Midnight Jukebox - More of an experience than just a band.

Some bands play a wedding. Midnight Jukebox transform one.

This six-piece is one of Scotland's most exciting live acts, built around a sound that's impossible to sit still to. At its heart are vocalists Alex and Olivia, whose male and female voices intertwine in rich, effortless harmony — the kind of partnership that stops a room mid-conversation and turns every head toward the stage. Around them, a band of seasoned professionals brings both precision and pure energy, moving seamlessly from soul and Motown through indie and nineties classics to the modern anthems filling dancefloors today.

But what truly sets Midnight Jukebox apart is their gift for bringing a room together. Whether your guests are nine or ninety, quick to dance or slow to be persuaded, the band read the moment and play for everyone — so every generation ends up sharing the same dancefloor, at the same time, all night long. They'll learn and perform your first dance, take your favourite songs to heart, and shape the evening around you and your guests.

From the first note to the last, Midnight Jukebox don't simply provide the entertainment — they create the night your guests will be talking about for years.

We couldn’t recommend Midnight Jukebox enough! They were amazing at stepping in for our wedding at relatively short notice, and communication in the lead-up was excellent which made everything feel so easy and stress-free.
They were really accommodating in tailoring the set list to our taste and were more than happy to learn both our first dance and our final song of the night, which made it feel really personal to us.
On the night they were brilliant – they brought so much energy, looked the part and, most importantly, sounded amazing! They kept the dance floor full all night and created exactly the atmosphere we wanted for our evening reception.
We had such a great experience with them and would recommend Midnight Jukebox to anyone looking for a wedding band!

Midnight Jukebox, where do we even start? 🎶✨
From the first song to the last dance, you absolutely smashed it. The atmosphere you created was everything we hoped for and more! The dance floor was packed, the energy was unreal, and you had everyone singing, dancing and making memories all night long.
One thing we were adamant about when planning our wedding was that we wanted our evening to be fun, relaxed and full of life, and you delivered exactly that.
Alex and Olivia together is just unreal! My cousin actually commented and said how she thinks you guys should have a recording deal!
To anyone looking for a wedding band, look no further. These guys are incredible at what they do.
Thank you for being such a huge part of our day and for giving us a night we’ll never forget.

Had used Hireaband for last years event so don't think I even looked at the website! The band (Midnight Jukebox) were fantastic - performance was great, they got set up efficiently, really friendly and responsive. Would highly recommend.

You guys were fantastic! Everyone has been talking about your band. They loved all the songs, and I will be recommending you to everyone.Thank you for being a part of our evening!

I just wanted to drop a message to thank you for your wonderful music at our wedding on the second of May.
As a group Midnight Jukebox were professional and delivered the best sound. We danced all night and no one has been able to stop talking about how much they enjoyed the band.
Thank you for your banging tunes and creating a celebration we will never forget!!

We loved the band. Great mix of music and the vocals were great. Would definitely hire again.

The music was fantastic and our guests had the best time dancing the night away. The vocals were very impressive so a huge thanks! From booking to the wedding night, it was seamless and we really enjoyed having you perform as part of our day.

An easy decision to book Midnight Jukebox after seeing them live. So glad we did - they were so full of energy and played a fantastic set. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding.

Thank you so much for giving us a great night of wonderful music and dancing. We couldn't have asked for more. Everyone asked where we'd found you so we'll probably be seeing you at another few weddings very soon.

We're just back from our honeymoon and looking back we wanted to say a massive thankyou for playing at our wedding and simply tearing the roof off the place. We wanted a lively band with lots of presence and boy did you deliver. Never seen a wedding band like Midnight Jukebox before. Thank yuo so much. Claire and Danny xx

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed having you play at our party on Saturday. It was a real treat to see so many of our family up dancing right from the start. My husband said he couldn't believe it as they never dance.
What a way to celebrate our anniversary. I wish you'd been around 25 years ago when we got married.

FAQs

Why choose a band with both male and female lead vocals?

With two lead singers, every song can be sung in its original voice. Female anthems like I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Heart of Glass and Pink Pony Club sound as they should, and so do male classics like Livin' on a Prayer and Dancing in the Dark. It also opens up proper duets such as Islands in the Stream and When You're Gone, which work well as first dances. Reviewers regularly single out Alex and Olivia's harmonies as a highlight of the night. One guest even said they deserved a recording deal.

We want current music as well as the wedding classics. Is Midnight Jukebox a good fit?

Very much so. Midnight Jukebox's set list is one of the most up to date on our roster. It includes Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Dean, RAYE and Teddy Swims alongside Motown, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie and the Cranberries. It's ideal if your friends want to hear what's in the charts now but you still need something for your parents and grandparents. The band read the room and mix the eras so every generation shares the dance floor. One couple told us family members who "never dance" were up from the first song.

Can Midnight Jukebox step in at short notice?

It depends on availability, but it's worth asking. Midnight Jukebox have already stepped in for a wedding at relatively short notice. The couple said the communication beforehand made everything feel easy and stress-free. The band still tailored the set list to their taste and learned both their first dance and their final song of the night. If your original entertainment has fallen through, call Gaye or Lisa on 0141 413 4060. We'll check their diary straight away and suggest alternatives if they're booked.

Do Midnight Jukebox play corporate events?

Yes. Their high-energy set and polished presentation work well for awards dinners, Christmas parties and company celebrations. They've played the Fife Business Awards at the Old Course Hotel, where the organisers praised how efficiently they set up and how friendly and responsive they were. They've also played a company Christmas event at Platform in Glasgow. For corporate bookings they can adapt timings around speeches, dinner service and award presentations, so let us know your running order when you enquire.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

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

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.

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.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Our manager 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, we're also represented by Scotland's biggest entertainment agency. They have access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.

Can my cousin Dave join you for a song?

Sounds like fun! Let's do it! As long as we know in advance and he's not under the influence on the night.

How loud will you be?

Volume is at your discretion. Bear in mind that to get a good atmosphere, a reasonable level of volume is required, but we don't like too loud any more than you do.

How much do you charge?

You can get an instant quote by clicking the button at the top right-hand side of our home page. You'll see your fee appear right there on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email to confirm the price. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with our team at Hireaband to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

Will I save money by booking you direct?

No. We don't allow Hireaband to charge more than we would charge you direct. We pay them a commission to do our marketing, admin, provide our videos, audio and photos, provide our insurance and to keep our profile up to date. We pay for that not you.
All you'll pay in addition to our fee is a small support fee which never exceeds £50 - this is to provide you with an emergency contact number, industry standard contracts and, if required, payment processing.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we play between 8pm and midnight with a half hour break. We can play past midnight, but it will incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. When you book us, you get us for the whole night so I'm afraid we can't offer a discount for a shorter performance time.

How long do you take to set up?

We need an hour (minimum) 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.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated if performing at a corporate event. If you’re booking us for a wedding, then the option to have something from the buffet is greatly appreciated.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object. The cost of travel is included in most of our quotes, but for really long distances, or events on islands, we may need to make an additional charges and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us.

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. However we don't guarantee anything other than your first dance or a single special request.

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

Yes, we'll take a short break between sets to grab a drink, catch our breath and go to the loo! During the break 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.

We're considering you for our wedding. How much contact will we have with the band before the big day?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 2 months before your date, so we can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, our team at Hireaband are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Up to a point. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, but we're always happy to tweak it 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!

Do you need parking or a changing area?

Ideally yes to both, but we're used to making do! A small room or space where we can get changed and leave our belongings is really helpful, and parking close to the venue makes load-in and load-out much quicker, especially if we're carrying gear a fair distance. If parking is tricky, just give us a heads up in advance and we'll plan around it.

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 Gaye or Lisa at Hireaband and they'll sort it out for you.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

We ask for a reservation fee to secure your date (refundable within 14 days if you change your mind) with the remaining balance due one month 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 us to fill the slot, so our cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but Gaye or Lisa at Hireaband are always happy to talk through the specifics.

Can you perform outdoors or in a marquee?

We love an outdoor gig! We'll just need a covered, dry area for us and our equipment (electrics and rain don't mix), plus access to a safe power supply. If it's a marquee, flooring or decking under the performance area makes a big difference too. We'll always chat through the setup with you beforehand so there are no surprises on the day.

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 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.

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.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service during our break. 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 or a professional DJ stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night. You really can have the best of both worlds. Please note, there is an additional charge for the manned DJ service.

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've got plenty of video and audio from real events on our website, plus we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. If we do have a public performance coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.
We also rehearse regularly and would be happy to invite you along to hear us and have a chat. Speak to Gaye or Lisa on 0141 413 4060 and they'll arrange that for you.
