“Can we choose what you play?”

One of the first questions on your mind will be what will the band play? The Upbeats Band has a playlist (here) which is always being updated.

The second question is usually ‘can we choose what you play?’ The answer to this question is yes, of course. It’s your day – we’ll play whatever you want. If you want us to play ‘Old MacDonald Had A Farm’, all night, in the style of Metallica – we will. (well…we’ll give it a go..)

However – we may make a suggestion at this point that this kind of choice may not make it a memorable evening (or maybe it would…but not for the right reasons). We find the best way is to work together – you tell us the kind of songs you like from our playlist and maybe more importantly, the kind of songs you don’t like. We can then use our experience, ‘read the room’ and play your fave’s at just the right moment.

Also, if theres a special song or a favourite tune that’s not on our list, we’re happy to try and learn it – it helps expand our repertoire too. This can be the case at a wedding when deciding on the Bride and Grooms First Dance. Have a look at our (Wedding First Dance Tips) for some idea’s on what to do and how to do it.
