Mazel Tov on your engagement!

If you're looking for sensational live music for your Jewish wedding, look no further than Down for the Count.

Our sensational live bands have everything you need for your wedding day, including traditional Israeli music for The Horah. We also provide high energy dancing music for parties including Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvahs.

Recommended by top Jewish wedding blog Smashing the Glass, our party bands are available in various line-ups from an 8-piece function band to a stunning 27-piece orchestra. All our line-ups have an unrivalled sound and perform with incredible energy to keep your guests on the dancefloor all night long - and they are something a little different from your standard function band as they have a huge repertoire which can include swing and jive music, vintage covers of modern songs, and of course all the party favourites you'd expect.

Hi Mike,

We just wanted to thank you so much for such a brilliant job last Sunday. We loved every second of the music, beginning with the ceremony and then for dancing... we have lost track of the amount of praise we have heard for Down for the Count.

The Jewish stuff was all great. I loved the clarinet and Hannah and Callum aced every song. You all really helped to make the party atmosphere we had been after. So thank you a lot for the combination of brilliant music and energy that you all brought to the evening.

We haven’t hesitated to recommend you to anyone who has asked - not least because you were also a pleasure to deal with to the run-up to the wedding.

Thanks again, and all best wishes.
