Landmark Birthday Parties

When you reach a certain age you hanker after certain ‘rites of passage.’ Getting to 18 like reaching first base. You’ve made it to adulthood and you might even want to celebrate (well Mum and Dad might pay) with a party and some top current Maroon 5 or Katy Perry).

21st to 30th Birthday Parties

The 21st birthday is a sign of maturity is it not? It doesn’t mean as much as it once did but it is still a landmark event and celebrated by many, some times in a post-ironic manner with a mix of ‘cocktail chic’ Rat Pack smooth tunes mixed with some Britpop anthems and a dash of Jazz, to be coooool!

40th to 50th Birthday Parties

A lot of energy is expended on these birthdays. Believe me. Those celebrating these events go in several directions. There’s let’s just fun, I want to entertain and the serious musico. So you get either a mash up of dance floor anthems, a ironic and fun swing and soul fusion or a handpicked favourite set.

60th Birthday Parties and Beyond

Getting to the 60th is common now and a sixty year old would have hit their teens in the mid sixties and hit the seventies as they hit their twenties and so we have sets of soul and disco and the audience will lap up classics from our play list like ‘Aint No Stopping Us Now, ‘ Mcfadden and Whitehead or Carwash (Rose Royce).

Whatever The Birthday Age

The music counts because it is of a time, it provokes memories; memories are shared, feet are tapped and joyous joining in occurs. It’s great being in a band and giving every birthday bash an atmosphere and creating further memories.If you need some advice on picking the right music for a landmark birthday drop us a line using the contact form or give me a call.All the best
