Minimum of 2 x 13amp sockets on or near the stage area.
Sensible access to the venue.
Area where we can change and relax between sets.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

We will ask for a contact name, number and email address for someone at the venue to liaise with. We'll also ask where is the best place to park for unloading of our equipment and also request that the venue confirms that there are no obstructions (cars outside, tables and chairs in the floor space where we are setting up etc) so we can easily gain access, get the equipment set up and be out of the way. We will send them our PLI and PAT test certificates upon request and being informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue is also handy too.

At no extra cost to you we provide a unmanned DJ service in between and after our sets (up until 12.30am). This fully inclusive option becoming more and more popular with clients who want to save on the added expense of hiring a DJ.

Our playlist before and in between performances incorporates the very latest popular chart music. After our performance we will up the tempo with very latest in dance music. If you prefer to have your own playlists then this is absolutely fine. Ideally we would need a fully charged mp3 player from you with at least 2.5 hrs of music on to ensure you have enough music for the whole evening.

The venue will need to provide a safe and constant supply of electricity terminating in a minimum of 2 x 13amp sockets on or near the stage area. We have a great deal of heavy equipment so sensible access to the venue will need to be provided. The venue will also need to provide an area where we can change and relax between sets.

We require somewhere where the full band can get changed for the performance, somewhere we can also relax before and in between sets and leave our belongings securely when we are performing so a private changing area will need to be organised for this. Please note that in the interests of health & safety and hygiene, toilets (inc portaloos), restrooms or store rooms/cupboard etc are not acceptable areas for the band to get ready in. If we arrive on site and we haven't been provided a suitable place to get change, then unfortunately we will have to perform in the clothing we arrive in.

Ideally, the band needs approx. 4.0m wide x 2.5 m deep, although we can sometimes manage with a smaller space. We are happy to liaise with the venue when there are space limitations, but please be aware that the dimensions quoted above reflect the minimum comfortable working space. Please note:- If the venue is supplying you with a portable dance floor, you or the venue must ensure this is not encroaching in our playing area. This has happened to us before and causes problems and increased setup times. We are not responsible for moving portable dance floors.

The best gig I'd say are always the ones where the guests are already up dancing from the sound check. Just because you know they are absolutely up for it from the get go and its going to be an amazing event! We have performed at Manchester City Football Club and at the barracks in York for the British Army which were both pretty special.

The five of us have so many influences - which by the way go way beyond the realms of the genre of music we perform, its a miracle we are actually in the same band together! Id probably say collectively we all influenced by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston as we perform quite a few of their classic hits, all 3 artists guaranteed to get guests on to the dance floor.

The band collectively has many years of musical experience, having performed individually and collectively as a band all over the UK. Two of the band members went to university to study music and their careers started there, one came from a holiday camp background (red coat) and the other two just picked up instruments many years ago and hit the pub/club scene!

FUN FACT:-Between us all we all have skill sets outside of performing which makes Urban Myth so successful. Two of the band members are actually self employed music teachers in their day jobs and they are in charge of musical arrangements and managing the sound check. Another one is a graphic designer by day so he is in charge of the bands branding, marketing and online presence. The other two have great people skills so they are in charge of contacting and liaising with venues for booking. All this makes for a very professional band on and off the stage.

Live music venues or are fantastic to perform at but if we perform at a wedding and all the guests are up for it, nothing beats that. You are in beautiful surroundings, family and friends are having a fantastic day they wont forget, and our performance is part of them memories. We'd play all night for the guests if we could!!

The core band (5 piece) consists of 1 x female vocalist, keys, bass, guitar and drums

In addition to the 5 piece set we can add an 1 x additional female vocalist.
If required we can also add a saxophonist or a full brass section.

Both additional options are subject to availability and will occur an additional charge. Please get in touch for any specifics you require.

The core members are who you hear and see on this website. However at times we may use musicians who are different to what's shown. What we are trying to say here is it's impossible for all of us to be available for every single booking we have. Obviously band members have their own personal lives outside the band and of course band members can get ill. This is when we use deputised (deps) musicians who will step in for our core members when needed. All of our deps are seasoned reliable professionals, who have been vetted by us and have played with the band many times before - call them our extended family! Don't worry you probably won't notice any difference to the quality of our sound and performance.

Setup time: 90 minutes
Arrival time no earlier than 5.30. Earlier arrival will incur extra costs
Midnight finish. A later finish will incur an extra cost.

Performance time: 2x60min or 3x40min

Open air events (like for example marquees or a main stage) are fantastic and we have plenty of experience performing at these type of events. Our PA is suitable for events up to 300 people, any more than this we'd probably need to hire in a professional sound and light company which would incur more costs. Any outdoor event would require a covered stage area regardless of the time of year. This is because potential rainfall or sudden weather changes needs to be taken into account as we are using a lot of electrical equipment. We will require access to at least two standard power points. As its an outdoor event please don’t forget to take into account consideration of your neighbours - or make sure you invite them to the party!

We encourage all our clients to be involved with song choice, but we may include or exclude (where appropriate) any song choice we feel may or may not be appropriate for an event. For certain events (in particular weddings) this is quite normal. You will have noticed that our repertoire of songs cover most poplar genres and era's of music. It can easily be mixed and matched to cater for all age groups thus keeping everyone happy. We can help you choose what will be appropriate based on our experiences of many varied events or better still, let us do this for you. This is our area of expertise and of course it's one less thing you have to worry about!

Previous customers would describe us as a infectious high energy wedding/party band that know how get the guests on to the dancefloor. Please have a look at our testimonials, they speak for themselves!

We like to allow approx 90 minutes for the load in, PA set up and sound check. It is really important that you factor this time into your schedule. We appreciate that sometimes events do not run to plan so the timings will change. If this is the case we will endeavour to set up as soon as we possibly can. Once set up, we will run through a few numbers to make any adjustments to the sound. The above time scales do not include the band getting changed into performance outfits. We will require an additional 20 minutes for this.

If your choice of first dance is suitable for us to perform, then of course we will perform it. What we mean by 'suitable' is that any song choice you have in mind needs to be in line with the genre of music we play i.e Soul, Motown, R&B, Pop, etc. However in order for us to achieve this we must have a minimum of 4 weeks to learn the song. If your request cannot be performed by the band live, then we are happy to play it through our PA system. The band will always have the final decision of whether the song requested is feasible for us to do.

Yes of course!! As well as a full band performance, we can also offer a acoustic session (1 x vocalist and either an acoustic guitar or piano). Typical examples where these sort of performances take place are welcoming guests at an evening event or during a wedding breakfast. You can hear either piano and acoustic guitar performances in our showcase video. This service does incur an additional cost but we are happy to discuss any of these options with you.
