Lost In Music are a fully professional (and really cool!) live party
band, comprising the absolute cream of British singers and musicians.
They are perfect for all functions - corporate events, weddings, large
festivals, birthdays, bar (and bat)-mitzvahs, theatres outdoor events,
etc.
They have an enormous set list (over 270 songs, and growing
constantly! (see the website for a full list) and are hugely experienced (something of an understatement!) in playing all kinds of shows, all over the country and abroad.
They are working constantly all over the UK and can incorporate
many different (superbly put together) costumed themes into their show
such as Abba, 1970's disco, Grease, 1980's, James Bond, School Disco,
1950's rock 'n' roll or Madonna. Please see the separate pages on this
website for some information and photos on these different sets.
The band can be booked either as a function band (with or without
one of these themed sets), or as a tribute band, playing only a
particular theme. All of the sets consist of the same singers and
musicians.
The list of companies they've played for reads like a who's-who of
corporate Britain: British Airways, Nationwide Building Society, BBC,
John Lewis, Pfizer, Tesco, Ryan Air, BT, Kuoni, Lancome, Ernst &
Young, Institute of Directors, Haymarket Publishing etc and many many
more. Please see the What Have They Done? page for a longer list.
Formats
Lost In Music can be booked as a basic 6-piece band (male and
female lead vocals, guitar / vocals, drums, keyboards / vocals, bass /
vocals). The band numbers can be flexible though, depending on the
function. An extra female singer can be added (to allow costume changes
mid-set) or you could upgrade to the incredibly exciting 11-piece
(adding an extra female singer, an extra male singer, and a brass
section) - this big band is a fantastic spectacle with four lead singers
and makes it possible for the band to perform costumes changes mid-set.
For example, they could have two girls going off stage to change into
an Abba costume while there are still two lead singers on stage whipping
the audience up into a frenzy - the pace is relentless!
USP
There are lots of function bands around, some good, some not so
good. So Lost In Music need a Unique Selling Point (USP) and it comes
down to this - if you would like to book a band who stand still on stage
whilst reading music, holding a pint, playing half-heartedly along to
backing tracks and looking as though they would rather be somewhere
else, then perhaps you need to look elsewhere. Lost In Music are a bunch
of great* musicians that want to enjoy what they do - play
fantastic party music to get your guests moving - and their enthusiasm
is completely infectious. They produce layer upon layer of rich vocal
harmonies (there are plenty of singers in the band, not just the lead
vocalists) and there is lots of energy on the stage. Your dance floor
will be full from beginning to end and your guests will still be talking
about them in years to come.
Organisation
The band are managed by Kevin McCarthy who prides himself on his
organisational skills - here is a musician (with a business background)
who realises that, as much as this is a fun job for everyone, it is
still a job that needs to run like clockwork. Call him for chat about
your event, he's very helpful.
Value for Money
Despite their musical CV, booking Lost In Music for your function
is not as expensive as you might think. Please contact Kevin for a
quotation.
Other stuff
Lost In Music can bring a state-of-the-art PA system and lighting
for your event so that they arrive fully self contained. Want music
before, in-between and after the band's live sets? No problem, they have
professionally mixed compilations to keep everyone moving. It's
certainly not a case of pressing play on any old CD! Or, if you prefer,
they will provide a real-life DJ
for you. Please note - Lost In Music are a FULLY LIVE band, they do not
record instruments and vocals onto a backing track - what you hear is
what is being played live. They kind of assume that, if you want to hear
drum machines, you'd book a DJ instead?
Conclusion
Put simply - Lost In Music are a fabulous band that will not let
you down, no matter how large or small your event. Nowhere else will you
find a band with such an outstanding CV and professional attitude at
such a reasonable price! And they're cool too....
