The Amberlights
About The Band
The band is comprised of top-class professional musicians with outstandingly diverse musical abilities to cater for every occasion and style. You only have to take a quick listen to the audio files to understand that this really is one of the best bands that money can buy!
All of the band's musicians have an excellent pedigree, with most members having backgrounds in the UK's top music schools; The Guildhall School of Music, The Royal Academy of Music, Trinity College of Music and Leeds College of Music to name a few. Many of our musicians have also been trained in the ranks of The National Youth Jazz Orchestra and now perform regularly in many of the top west end shows such as We Will Rock You, Cabaret, Joseph & The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Spamalot, Jersey Boys, Fame, Mama Mia, The Lion King, Never Forget and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The musicians are also very highly sought after for some of today's most popular recording artists and can be regularly be seen performing with people such as Kylie Minogue, Madness, Duran Duran, Jools Holland, Jamie Cullum, Lilly Allen, Katie Melua, Just Jack, Charlotte Church, Amy Winehouse, Will Young, Incognito and The James Taylor Quartet.
In order to make it possible to give you exactly what you are looking for, no matter what the date, location or budget, the band has a variety of line-up options for you to choose from. They always aim to be as flexible as possible and it is usually possible to mix and match repertoire (depending on your chosen line-up) to create the perfect package for your event.
The band can be booked on their own for an individual performance or as part of a bespoke package in conjunction with one of our jazz or classical options. Most of our musicians are very versatile and can perform in a variety of styles, therefore by using some of the same musicians for multiple parts of your event we keep the cost down and the logistics simple.
All of these factors ensure that you receive live music of the highest quality, with maximum flexibility and, most importantly, at the right price!

History
Live music has been a passion of ours for many years. After attending many private and public events we realised that it was usually the music that was the most memorable part of the event. Very rarely did we overhear guests discussing table decorations or flowers. With live music playing such an important part at so many events we decided to use our expertise to enable our clients to be able to tailor each performance to fit exactly with their event requirements. The multiple line-ups and musical styles were then put together and we have been providing bespoke soundtracks for private and public events ever since.
We started out in 2001 and offered one style of music with one size option. The band quickly became very popular and our clients were soon asking if we could scale the size up or down, perform different styles of music and generally cover all musical angles. To meet these needs we auditioned and rehearsed a variety of top professional musicians, created additional line-up options to specialise in various styles of music and arranged all of the repertoire to ensure the possibility of multiple size options.
Since then our services have grown to the full scale production that you see today. We have musicians performing at hundreds of weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, product launches, festivals or public venues each year and we employ the services of some of the most respected names in the professional music industry.
