The latest news from The Session Band HQ
Our blog explains a little bit about the history of band and how we’ve have developed into the multi award-winning Welsh wedding and corporate event party band that you see today. We also explore the important decisions you might face when booking live entertainment for your party, corporate event or wedding. Our ‘knowledge is power’ post discusses the hidden world of backing tracks and ‘pick up’ wedding bands who creatively exploit multiple bands hidden under one musical identity. If you see a lion that’s blue, it’s time to run!
We hope you enjoy our wedding and events blog. Please contact us today if you have any questions about your wedding and corporate event music in South Wales, the South West, across the UK or international. We are always happy to pick up the phone and have a chat!
See you on the dance floor.
