For an extra special wedding reception, it is important to make the right choices about what music to have playing. Leaning towards a live band? Here is some information you should consider when making your decision to hire wedding band.

Live music vs a DJ:

Live music creates a more intimate atmosphere, in which musicians can build up a relationship with their audience. They are also able to tailor their music to suit the different groups of people present, and respond to requests or to the general mood of the night. The lead singer may double as an MC, helping to keep the flow of the night.

When should you start looking?

You should start looking for a band a minimum of 6 months before the actual date of your wedding. This will give you enough time to make enquiries, sample music produced by different bands, and make sure that everyone is clear on all the details for the event.

How do you find the right band?

Michael Joseph Jackson was born into the Jackson family as the 7th child of Joseph Jackson. When Michael Jackson was very young, 11 years old, he and 4 of his siblings began a band with their father Joseph Jackson as the manager. The band was called “the Jackson 5″ and the group attained much commercial success. Joe Jackson, a member of a music group called The Falcons, was a very authoritative father, physically and emotionally abusing Michael Jackson when he was younger. Michael Jackson claimed his father took away his childhood.

Beginning a solo career in 1971, Jackson acquired a worldwide following, establishing himself as a favorite amongst fans of all ages. His first solo single, ‘Got to Be There’, reached number four in the United States and number five in the UK charts. In 1982 Michael Jackson released his second album Thriller. Selling over 109 million copies worldwide, Thriller is the best selling album in the world. In 1983, he debuted his signature dance move The Moonwalk on Motown 25. Michael Jackson’s musical influence stretched across many musical genre’s including hip-hop, pop and R&B in part because of his eccentric and distinct style of vocals and music.
