Tailored Brilliance

Not finding what you have in mind? We know every client has their own unique vision and sometimes ‘set’ lineups aren't quite the right fit. Whether you need a particular genre mix, a custom lineup size, or a specific musical theme, we can build a band around your exact vision using our trusted network of world class musicians to make it happen.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

A Custom Rock Lineup with Saxophone

Derek asked us to tailor a male fronted rock band complete with a saxophonist for a joint 18th and 60th birthday party. The lineup needed a vast playlist covering multiple eras to suit both generations, alongside a few personal favourites including Heroes by David Bowie, Money by Pink Floyd, and Bubbles by Biffy Clyro.

Client Testimonial

"I just want to thank you for organising and playing in an amazing band at the joint birthday celebrations. The music mix was great and covered a huge and popular range of music suited for an 18th and a 60th. Not an easy task, but your extensive playlist made things so much easier. A month after the event, my work colleagues were still talking and discussing the awesome band at Derek's party. It truly was a great band and event. It was great to meet you all individually and listen to your experiences. Your fellow band members were a great bunch of musicians.

I admit I was apprehensive at the start when you sent all the forms over, being of an age and limited computer skills, but the forms were straight forward to complete and sign and the whole process was not at all daunting. Thank you for making mine and my grandsons party one to remember.”

A Bespoke Country Themed Wedding

Em & James wanted a strong country theme for their wedding day. We put together a dedicated four piece acoustic fronted band of talented musicians who not only delivered the country sound effortlessly, but dressed the part too! For the daytime, they asked for something special for the pre-ceremony gathering and the walk down the aisle. We hand picked a violin and piano duo specifically for the occasion, creating a unique acoustic feature that fit the theme and caught everyone's attention. To finish the night off, we brought in a highly skilled professional DJ to keep the dance floor packed with a seamless mix of country hits and party classics.

Client Testimonial

"Poor Sam had everything thrown at him by me. First I wanted a ceilidh, then a wedding band, then an Irish singer, then bagpipes. He was always positive, always said it could be done, and always came back with options.

He gave brilliant advice on how the day should run so it flows properly, things I'd never have thought of. Don't pick all the songs yourself or you'll spend the night worrying whether people are enjoying them. Think about what time the musicians should start, depending on what the guests' ears have got used to by then.

Most importantly, on the day I had nothing to worry about. It looked great, sounded great, was well organised and thoroughly professional, but fun at the same time. A cracking day, all sorted by The Brilliants and perfectly in tune with what we wanted. Thank you for making our day so special."

80s Rock and a Surprise Family Performance

Our clients asked for a powerhouse band to perform a setlist of 80s classics from the likes of Toto and Journey. As a surprise for the groom, his sister (a professional singer) wanted to perform Rainbow Connection by Sleeping At Last and Starmaker by The Kids From "Fame" with the band. To execute the surprise seamlessly, we selected experienced performers who had worked together extensively, led by a keyboardist with musical theatre and pantomime experience to direct the surprise live performance.

Client Testimonial

"Sam was great to work with. He actively listened to our needs and desires and was able to advise us on appropriate timings to plan out the evening in the best way. He also sourced the best musicians that were on time, extremely professional and extremely talented. We had several incredible comments from our guests about how great the band was which just backs up the peace of mind on organising the band whilst we focused on the rest of our event.”

Full Day Live Music and a Fusion Surprise

Joe & Ellen booked one of our flagship party bands alongside a solo Irish singer/acoustic guitarist for their big day. As a secret surprise for his new bride, the groom requested a Scottish bagpiper and military drummer to launch straight after the first dance. We suggested an exciting twist: pairing the traditional bagpiper with a professional Dhol drummer instead of military drums. The high energy rhythm had the entire marquee bouncing instantly.
