When you’re choosing a live band for you event, it doesn’t have to boil down to a choice between an ageing, tired soul band or music-college hotshots with skill but no charisma who sight-read their way through what used to be your favourite tunes.

Groovestone offer a welcome alternative. For one, Groovestone can really play. They are all music graduates and professional musicians; the quality of the vocals and music is unrivalled. But more than this, Groovestone are also a band with a sense of humour, that take great pleasure in doing what they do best; putting on an exciting, professional show, involving cheeky dance moves, audience interaction and a set that never takes so much as a breath between numbers. Fun without being cheesy, and musically skilled without being stuffy, Groovestone offer a complete package: the real deal.

The band formed in 2002 after the band members met while all studying music at university. Working together on recitals and, since leaving university, on numerous tours and hundreds of gigs together since has created a special band chemistry, which another band with a revolving-door of dep musicians just could not hope to have.

Groovestone are totally self-sufficient; dancefloor lighting and a very high quality (and adaptable) 3kW PA rig is offered as standard. Groovestone use wireless mics and in-ear monitors to ensure a great-sounding performance every time. The band is very particular about achieving the best sound and to this end use only the best equipment.

The established 7-piece party band have a lot of experience and knowledge in getting the party really flying, having played at a long line of weddings, parties and corporate functions throughout the UK, and the name and reputation continues to spread as more and more people seek to book the band on the back of fervent recommendations. Further afield, the band travelled to Europe in 2007 for a month’s contract providing après-ski entertainment in the French Alps.

The band members are tuned-in to the differing needs of individual clients, from choosing the most appropriate songs in the set to ensuring the best look and volume for the event. Clients are consistently surprised at the varied repertoire of the group and love the fact there is something for everyone to enjoy. From the soul classics (Respect, Hard To Handle) through funky disco (Le Freak, You Should Be Dancing) to modern hits (Toxic, Valerie), Groovestone have a repertoire that pleases a variety of crowds, and seamlessly blends old favourites with interesting modern covers.

Simply put, Groovestone are a young, dynamic outfit that look good, sound great and can pack a dancefloor all night long. Who could want for more?
