CandyStripes deliver the highest standard musicianship, boasting unsurpassed experience of live performance, every one a talented musician in their own right, producing a full and authentic sound. The band's dynamic female lead singer is backed by three exceptionally skilled musicians on guitar, bass and drums who also provide lead and backing vocals. Great music, great entertainment.
The band can provide party & background music to be played before, in between and after their live sets on MP3 player/ipod or CD for no extra charge. This will be played through the band's PA system, plus the use of the band's dance floor lighting for your party - saving you the hassle of booking a DJ! While this is not a 'manned' service with requests etc., you are welcome to bring your own CDs and MP3 players with you.
If the band's final set finishes before 12 midnight (E.G. 11-11.30pm), music can be provided up to 12midnight (or 1am if you have booked for a 1am finish time, extra fee applies).
CandyStripes are also happy to learn a special first dance for no extra charge, providing they have at least 4 weeks' notice.
