The Down for the Count 9-piece function band is the perfect band for any party - with a huge repertoire spanning eight decades of popular music, the band's performance will be enjoyed by guests of all generations.
Equally comfortable playing background jazz music as your guests are arriving, and upbeat dancing music to fill your dancefloor after dinner, the function band will give you a night to remember.

This talented group of young musicians under the mentorship of Mike Paul-Smith played recently at my 50th birthday celebration. I can honestly say that the band were not merely a part of the party, but that they made the party. The standard of musicianship and the panache with which they perform is a credit to them. They gave my family and 200 guests a lot of fun and ensured the evening went with a swing. Without exception the feedback from my friends was that they have not enjoyed an evening as much as this in a long time. Do not hesitate to book these guys. They’re great!
