We’re finding ourselves all over the place at the moment! We recently performed at Alea Casino in Nottingham. From the point of view of an events band this really is a fantastic place to play. They have a stage which is the perfect size for our band and we had plenty of time to do a great sound-check to make sure the room was really bouncing before the guests arrived! The lovely Alea staff kindly offered us a refreshing pint once sound check was finished and we relaxed in the bar and watched people enjoying a flutter at the tables – of course as professional entertainers we had to resist the BlackJack on this particular night!

We play so many weddings that is made a nice change that this was a Birthday party. It’s a more relaxed vibe to a wedding but entertainment is entertainment so we didn’t mess around and kicked straight in with ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ following by a really upbeat first set to keep people dancing.

During the break we helped ourselves to the buffet – best to keep your events band energized! – and we must say, having eaten literally hundreds of buffets, the food was particularly good; we mean seriously tasty! The party continued with our second set which mixed modern dance hits with classic rock, indie and more. Below is a video taken from the second set.

We finally rolled the disco to an end around 1am after a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Thanks to the staff at the wonderful Alea Casino Nottingham for hosting such a great night of party entertainment, and to all the guests partied away throughout the night!

Until next time…
