   About Backbeat
The most sought after Wedding Band on the Northern Ireland Wedding circuit, and by far one of the best function bands in the U.K. A fresh, dynamic, and charismatic act, this band will have your dance floor filled from the start of the night, making your party one that the guests will remember. A vibrant, authentic, and impressive horn section mixed with the power and energy of a stunning live guitarist, and a rock solid drummer, offer a performance and sound that is worthy of any stage. The line-up is completed by a fresh, enthralling, and compelling front man who gives a vibrant performance from start to finish, exuding all the charm and magnetism that separates natural born performers from mere singers.

The world class Backbeat live horn section gives this band a sound that is unrivalled, and from the first few bars of Glen Miller’s “In the Mood” it is obvious how special this band really is. The bands setlist covers all genres and styles, offering you the choice of a stunning ratpack tribute set interlaced with all the rock, pop, funk, soul, and blues your dance floor can handle! This 5-Piece Band comes with a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system to ensure your Wedding Evening party is professional and top class from start to finish.

The Backbeat band is also available as a 7-Piece to give that real authentic Big Band sound! And as if that wasn’t mind blowing enough, Backbeat bring a professional DJ with them who can finish the night off with a fantastic disco for the guests who want to dance right through until last orders!

Also now available is the Backbeat Wedding Package which includes Service/Ceremony music supplied by top classical/contemporary trio Timbre; afternoon reception music supplied by one of Northern Ireland's finest singer/songwriters and acoustic performers Ross Alexander; Backbeat for your evening reception; and a 1 hour disco to finish the night off. The price of this package is unbeatable!! Check out Timbre and Ross Alexander via the Backbeat friend links below.
