Homeless Street Angels’ Charity Christmas Single 

By | News | No Comments

The festive season is a time for joy, laughter, and togetherness. But, for those facing homelessness this winter, Christmas can be the loneliest time of the year.

To help raise vital funds for people living on the streets of Leeds, local charity Homeless Street Angels Charity has released a heartwarming Christmas single. And they’ve had a little help from someone you may recognise…

About the Homeless Street Angels

Homeless Street Angels aims to reverse the spiral of homelessness in Leeds. They do this by offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for people living on the streets. As part of this, they actively work with Leeds City Council and Housing Options to re-house people and provide ongoing support. Whether handing out food parcels, helping with housing applications, or running outreach and fundraising events, the charity is tireless in its efforts to help those most in need in our community.

Find out more about Homeless Street Angels.

Spreading hope through song

The Homeless Street Angels charity Christmas single features the incredible talents of Clare Brooke, Jonathan Ansell, and Mark Walker. And, if you listen closely, you may notice another familiar voice providing the backing vocals… That’s right! It’s our very own Melody, owner of Live Band Entertainment!

Called ‘Angels on Earth’, the heartfelt single aims to make a lasting impact on the lives of homeless people across the Leeds area.

Download the single now, or watch the music video here. And make sure to keep your eyes peeled for Melody, of course!

Support Homeless Street Angels

Homeless Street Angels has set itself ambitious fundraising goals with this charity single. And they are smashing it out of the park! In fact, their JustGiving campaign has already beaten the initial £5000 target they hoped to raise by a long way. So now, they need your help to get to £10,000. To play your part in making this happen, you can make a donation on their JustGiving page. Every contribution, big or small, helps in providing crucial support to homeless people in Leeds this winter.

If you’re unable to donate, you can still make a difference by sharing the charity Christmas single on your social media. Spreading awareness is key to reaching a broader audience and getting more support. Make sure to also follow Homeless Street Angels on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated on their latest initiatives.

As we all know, Christmas is the season of giving. So come on! Let’s all work together to support the Homeless Street Angels Charity and bring hope to those who need it the most.

Hollie and Matthew’s dream wedding

On 12th August 2023, at the picturesque Hollins Hall and Country Club in Baildon, we had the honour of being a part of Hollie and Matthew’s wedding day. Our talented soloist Melody set the scene for the ceremony and reception with her soulful voice. Then it was over to Martin Sax and DJ to raise the roof for an unforgettable evening celebration. The dance floor was alive with energy, and we were touched by Hollie’s kind words. 

She said:


“I cannot thank Melody and her team enough for my dream wedding come true!!! I had great communication, smoothness and they took into consideration exactly what I wanted! From the band, solo and Martin with the Sax! The dance floor was full from start to finish! 

I would recommend Live Band Entertainment for all your music entertainment needs! Very professional, efficient and really put us at ease! The performances were outstanding, we had so many compliments from our family and friends on how good they were. 

We can’t thank them enough for being such a brilliant addition to our day! I would rate even higher if I could! 

Wish you all the best…

Mr & Mrs Jackson

Congratulations Hollie and Matthew! We wish you so many happy years together.

Joe and Olivia’s magical celebration

 

The Tithe Barn at Bolton Abbey, Skipton, witnessed the love story of Joe and Olivia on the same day. Our fantastic function band On The Func, aka Func on the Rocks really brought the house down, filling the dance floor with an infectious energy. 

 

But don’t just take our word for it! See what Olivia had to say: 

 

“Melody Reed at Live Band Entertainment has been absolutely superb. From our initial inquiry through to our wedding day, she could not have done more to help. 

We booked Func on the Rocks to play at our wedding and we could not have been happier, having all 10 of them there filled the room and dance floor! The band ensured we had all our favourite songs played and managed the energy levels throughout the night expertly, so that everyone was left wanting more. 

So many guests have commented on how great they were. A massive part of our perfect wedding thank you so much!”

 

Congratulations Joe and Olivia! Thanks so much for sharing your day with us.

Best of the West: our wedding band The Tones wowed the crowds at Ruth and Danny’s West Yorkshire wedding

By | News | No Comments

If you’re looking for a wedding band in West Yorkshire or beyond, we’ve got just the thing.

Hi everyone, Melody here, back and blogging after a truly sensational summer. With so many Live Band Entertainment gigs to choose from over the past few months, I was spoiled for choice when deciding on this week’s blog post. But with peak wedding season still in full swing, I wanted to share the love with you all. So today I’m here to tell you about one of my favourite events of the summer – Ruth and Danny’s wonderful West Yorkshire wedding.
The gorgeous couple tied the knot on Saturday 3rd June 2023. And Live Band Entertainment’s incredible wedding band, The Tones, were there to dish up the tunes for the big day.

The Faversham: West Yorkshire’s Wedding Gem

 
But before we get onto the fantastic music… let’s talk location! No great wedding is complete without a knock-out venue. And Ruth and Danny really got the memo.
 
Blending classic charm with a modern touch, the Faversham is probably the coolest wedding venue in West Yorkshire! From its multi-purpose events space, glass-roofed conservatory, and chic Lounge, to the sunny Terrace and private grounds, its an all around amazing space for anyone’s big day. And it was certainly the perfect spot for Ruth and Danny – who had it decked out with cool neon lights, gorgeous flowers, and a dance floor fit for royalty.The Tones perform with Ruth and Danny's friends for their first dance song at The Faversham.

The Tones: a West Yorkshire wedding band to write home about

Now, it’s time to talk about the musical masterminds who made Ruth and Danny’s dreams come true – The Tones. These guys are the real deal, and if you’re looking for an unforgettable after party, they’ve got you covered.
 
Hailing from Doncaster, The Tones are a top-tier wedding band known for their incredible talent and knack for getting the party started. And they certainly brought the house down at Ruth and Danny’s wedding with their mix of pop classics and indie hits. Just check out the crowd on the dance floor!

Your wedding, your way

Here at Live Band Entertainment we’re all about making your day your way. So when Ruth and Danny had a special request for their first dance, we were more than happy to make it happen. The Tones provided the backing music, but the lead vocals were provided by none other than the bride and groom’s best mates. Talk about a personal touch!

We’re also all ears when it comes to your music picks. So after the main event, The Tones served up some of the bride’s favourite tunes from Justin Timberlake and Arctic Monkeys on request.

Ruth and Danny’s review

I know how hard the whole Live Band Entertainment team work to make things extra special for our clients – but it’s still so nice to get a great review too. So when I read Ruth and Danny’s review of their experience with us, I was over the moon. 
 
Take a look at what they had to say:
 
“We cannot recommend Live Band Entertainment enough!! Before I found Melody at Live Band Entertainment, I was almost giving up on having a band at our wedding. Then I spoke to Melody… She totally understood our collective taste in music, she listened and provided loads of choices of bands and singers, including clips so we could watch them. She wasn’t pushy and was always available to answer any questions we had (and I asked a lot!).
 
The band we chose through her was amazing, and on our wedding day they turned up and blew us all away! They were fantastic, professional, entertaining, and energetic, and everyone had such an amazing time! We even received a beautiful handmade card following the wedding with photos of us and the band, congratulating us on our wedding. It’s the little touches that show just how great this company and Melody are!
 
If you are lost in a world of wedding music madness, speak with Live Band Entertainment and let them take all your worries away!”
Ruth and Danny's five star review of Live Band Entertainment and their wedding band, The Tones

Three Cheers to Ruth and Danny!

 
Before I wrap up the blog, I want to wish Ruth and Danny one last congratulations on their gorgeous wedding. I hope your journey together is filled with love, laughter, and loads of great music!

Live wedding band FuncTown raise the roof for a great yorkshire wedding

By | News | No Comments

As the owner of LiveBand entertainment, I know that a live wedding band is the key to a truly sensational day.  Every year, I get the pleasure of providing stunning live music for a whole host of events. But I have to admit that weddings are my absolute favourite! Providing the soundtrack for a couple’s special day is a real privilege. Plus, it’s one that I love to share with you all on this blog. So this week, I’m turning the spotlight to James and Lynsey. The couple recently said ‘I do’ to each other, and to funktastic live wedding band, FuncTown (aka Funk On The Rocks)!

The mission, should we choose to accept it  

James and Lynsey pose for a smiley photo

James and Lynsey wanted to find the perfect live wedding band for their big day.

Gorgeous couple James and Lynsey approached us to let us know they were getting hitched and they were after a reyt good Yorkshire knees-up.

The chosen band would be joining the happy couple at the stunning Victoria Hotel in super-scenic seaside retreat Robin Hoods Bay. With breathtaking views of the coastline, elegant architecture and an intimate atmosphere, the scene was all set for an incredible day. All that was missing was the music…. 

The stunning wedding venue, Victoria Hall.

That’s where we came in! With a brief like that – how could we say no? As a proud Yorkshire business ourselves, we were confident that LiveBand entertainment was the perfect partner to give James and Lynsey an unforgettable live wedding band experience.

A match made in heaven 

First things first, James was an absolute pleasure to work with! His love for music made helping him plan the perfect live wedding band a breeze. After browsing LiveBand Entertainment’s fantastic selection of live bands and musicians, James settled on the perfect live band for a proper party. None other than FuncTown aka Func On The Rocks!

Lovely James – what a gent!

Formed in 2006, this sensational six-piece has been igniting events nationwide for more than 15 years. Offering a captivating blend of soul, funk, Motown, and pop, we knew they’d give James and Lynsey the night of their lives.  

FuncTown were the perfect live wedding band for the couple’s big day

The reviews are in….  

Now I know all my live wedding bands are top-notch. After all, I hand picked them myself! But sometimes it takes some lovely feedback from a happy couple to really highlight what a fantastic job they do for our clients. Just take a look at this glowing review from James. It certainly left me grinning from ear to ear! 

“Hi Melody,

Just a quick late night email to you;

WOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!

The band were absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!

We and everyone absolutely loved them, what a rather large cherry on the wedding pie!!!

They totally smashed it, great energy, extremely talented, very personable, professional and friendly.

We loved their end of set energy. Catching them dancing around packing up, we rejoined and set up one last 5 minutes of power dancing to Groove Armada! Yesss, what a memento to our special day.

Thank them massively, we would love to see them play live again. We will highly recommend, and how lovely that a new baby was brewing up listening to our special day.

Thank you so much, 

James”

Not only this, but a few days later James left FuncTown aka Funk On The Rocks even more 5-star feedback. Check it out below! 

Don’t believe the hype? Well see for yourself….

Congratulations James and Lynsey

So, all that’s left is for me to once again wish James and Lynsey a huge congratulations on their wedding. And, of course, a massive thank you to their live wedding band FuncTown aka Func On The Rocks for an outstanding performance. 

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Ibbotson!

Hey everyone, Melody here! It’s been all go recently at LiveBand Entertainment, with loads of great acts performing at your special events up and down the country. But today, I’m so excited to write this blog about a gig of my own – at the wonderful wedding of Gemma and Callum! They tied the knot on 25th April 2023 at the beautiful Rushpool Hall in Saltburn by the sea, and I was so honoured to be chosen as their wedding singer. 

The venue 

As soon as I pulled up to the venue, it was clear Gemma and Callum had chosen a stunning location for their wedding. Rushpool Hall is absolutely gorgeous! Surrounded by lush gardens and countryside views, the beautiful 19th century manor house provided the perfect backdrop for the big day. Definitely check it out if you’re looking for an elegant wedding venue in North Yorkshire!

Look at those views!

 

 

The happy couple 

I had a great time working with Gemma and Callum. Gemma was one of the sweetest, calmest brides I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She looked absolutely stunning in her off the shoulder lace dress, with Callum just as smart in a sharp suit. The weather had also put its best foot forward for the occasion, with the sun showing up to join in with the joyous atmosphere.

But they didn’t just look the part. Gemma and Callum had also planned a gorgeous wedding. I loved all the personal touches that celebrated their love for each other. Just look at this super cute picture display of the newlyweds over the years! 

A table with rustic wooden crates. On the crates are wires with photos of the bride and groom pegged to them. The table also has small vases with flowers, wooden hearts, and an elegant white table cloth.

The music 

But now let’s get to the most important bit of the big day (for me, anyway) – the music! I was honoured to be hired as Gemma and Callum’s wedding singer. I performed a 2 hour background set full of love songs, ballads, and the couple’s special songs. 


After the wedding, I was so happy to get some glowing feedback from the bride and groom. I loved performing for the happy couple and their friends and family, so it was great to hear that they’d enjoyed it just as much.

The ice cream!

To finish the day off in style, I headed down to the seaside for a quick ice cream while I took in the beautiful views. The perfect end to a great gig!

My name is Melody, and I’m a professional singer with over 24 years of experience in the industry. I’ve performed as a soloist and in bands since I was 14 years old, and now I own and run LiveBand Entertainment.

You might be wondering why you should book a live band through LiveBand Entertainment, instead of just finding one on your own. Well, I’m confident that I can offer you a superior service that will make your special day one to remember. And I’m here to tell you why!  

One to one approach

First of all, I offer a fully one to one approach. That means I’m available to talk to you via email, phone calls, or even in person. I want to make sure we work together to create a personalised plan for your event. We’ll go through all the options and create the perfect package to meet your needs.

Our live bands and musicians for hire are some of the most talented performers on the UK live music scene. I hand pick each one of our acts to ensure you’ll have only the best live music for your special event. So whoever you choose, you can be sure you’re in for an incredible experience!

100% band guarantee

Another great reason to book a live band through me is my 100% band guarantee. If for any reason a band can’t make it to your event, I’ll take responsibility and source another amazing band for you. That way, you don’t have to worry about any last minute cancellations.

Frequently asked questions

Now that’s the main stuff covered, let’s take a look at a few of the most common questions we get from prospective clients. 

How do I book a live band through LiveBand entertainment?

It’s easy! Just fill out the booking form on the band, singer, or musician page with your email and contact details, and I’ll get back to you in no time at all.

Can I see my band perform live?

Our bands are always performing somewhere. Many of their bookings are private events, but I will find out when and where they are playing publicly and be sure to send you all the information. We do have loads of live videos on the LiveBand Entertainment YouTube channel too, in case you can’t make a live gig.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes, you do need to pay a deposit. This secures your band and is best for everyone’s peace of mind. We also put contracts in place between all clients and bands – this makes sure all the legal stuff is sorted. Once your contract is signed and the deposit is paid, the band is yours! Well…for the day or night of your event at least!

What happens if my band cancels at the last minute?

It’s rare that any of our bands need to cancel on your big day. But, life happens, and sometimes emergencies and illness can get in the way. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, don’t worry – I’ve got you covered. I’ll take care of finding a fantastic replacement band so you don’t have to stress about it.

Can I contact the band directly if I book through you?

Of course! When you book a live band through LiveBand Entertainment, I’ll give you their contact details. You probably won’t need to use them, though! I’ll have everything under control and make sure you have everything you need. But it’s not a bad idea to have their details for the day of the event, just for your own peace of mind.

Can I meet you in person?

If you live locally to me, I’d love to meet you in person! We can go through all the plans over a coffee. Or, if you’re further afield, I’m more than happy to jump on a video call. I also love event planning, so I might be able to give you some tips for other elements of your event – free of charge of course!
