Special Occasions Need The Right Live Music

By Beatrice Heaver

On those special occasions you want to create wonderful memories and you want everyone to have a good time. Nothing creates a better atmosphere than live music, and its the best way to get what you want and have a really personal environment and great ambiance.

Weddings are one of those special occasions where the theme and ambiance is of the utmost importance, it's a time of passion and intimacy where the music on hand has to be personal and endearing, something that creates a lifelong memory. Special occasions are remembered for what makes them special. Often it's the band that features in your fondest memories. What song was playing, how your friends took up the mike on stage, dancing with that special someone to a certain special song.

Adding flair and sophistication, a personal touch, or a unique aspect to any occasion can be a very daunting task. Live performers can simplify this for you, whether it's an instrumental group in the corner or lively rockers on a stage, you can busy yourself with the more important things while they go about the business of providing a backdrop for the occasion.

Music on it's own can transform an ordinary occasion into an extraordinary one. It's a talking point, a party feature, a comfortable background to the usual party chatter and mingling. It's a tool to set people at ease and give them some common ground.

Creating the right mood is always important. There are a host of different genres to choose from to suit the occasion, from classics and easy listening to R&B and rock. Whats just as important is to vary the mood. To start the party off, something upbeat and lively, then later, as the part winds to and end, a more relaxed mood to end it off on a good note.

When playing to a crowd, versatility is very important. Thumping radio tunes out over a loudspeaker is not something everyone wants. A varied routine that suites them is what party goers want. Reading the crowd is important and helps to keep the party going, and fortunately, what suites one guest will also suite other guests.

As always, there will always be those who would like a classic played, or a special request. Bands always add a fresh twist to classics and can liven up any old favorite. Sometimes something unique and original to listen to is just what the doctor ordered, something without any associations, something new but still personal.

Going with an instrumental band or group can put your event into a class of its own, allowing you to go unplugged and creating an even more personal and intimate ambiance to a special occasion. This can be especially useful for outdoor events where the wiring and gadgetry can detract from an otherwise perfect setting.

Live music is a truly versatile solution for all special occasions. Musicians automatically adapt to the mood and sentiment of the occasion and are a much more personal touch than recorded music. The live entertainment can be kept quietly in the background, or placed in the foreground for more serious entertainment, they can be dressed to suit the occasion, can unplugged and instrumental, or even on the stage pumping the crowd. - 40732
