Live bands are sprouting like mushrooms all over UK and are flocking pubs and clubs. A bunch of musicians with drums and guitars and a lead vocal does not necessarily make for an amazing live band. They may string good tunes however; they may not be cool enough to rock your party. Tell live bands apart from who’s cool and who’s not with these simple pointers.
Sing in tune, play in tune. It is not about hitting the shrillest note or playing ear-ringing music. It is all about precision and hitting the right notes at the right time.
Sheer energy. An awesome live band plays everything with energy and oomph. They can make a sentimental classic sound fresh and invigorating by mixing their own vigorous style to the music.
Connect with the crowd. A great live band knows how to connect with whatever crowd they are performing for. Merely singing and playing is not enough. They have to get the crowd involved and feed off their reactions. A really cool live band makes the crowd feel like they belong to the band too and can rock and sing along as they please.
Builds the show. From wedding parties to New Year’s Eve celebration, a cool live band knows how to build the rhythm of the affair. They know how to build the tempo of the celebration from a soft start to a climactic end.
Make no mistake. Don’t let appearances deceive you. Watch live bands in action, may it be in video or for real, before leaping in to hire them for your party entertainment.
Your New Year celebration should be a fun time for your family and friends.

Budget. Let us all be practical, we don’t have unlimited resources. You need not hire the most expensive live band to be assured of the greatest performance.

While its media profile may be eclipsed by high-profile festivals taking place on the British mainland, the Jersey Live festival is growing each year and has now firmly established itself as a popular alternative for those choosing to head to the Channel Islands in September.
The Jersey Live 2010 event has been named the biggest yet by organisers, and with leading performers being revealed, the festival is expected to attract an even larger crowd than in previous years, as UK music lovers fly to Jersey to see some of the biggest names in the music business. Jersey Live attracted a record 9,000 attendees in 2010, and with a maximum capacity of 10,000, visitors are expected to snap up tickets to enjoy a fantastic festival experience in a unique setting this summer.
Unlike some mainstream equivalents, the Jersey Live festival is geared more towards indie and dance music lovers, and among this year’s headliners are musical icon Paul Weller and Scottish DJ sensation Calvin Harris, who will lead the customary line-up of top dance producers at the festival’s dedicated dance stages. Joining the headliners on the main stage are acts as diverse as Chase & Status, Darwin Deez, Peggy Sue, Plan B and We Have Band, bringing all the latest indie music to compliment the picturesque surroundings of the island, situated just 14 miles off the coast of France with convenient access to both the continent and the UK mainland.
For those who haven’t visited the Channel Islands before, the festival presents the perfect opportunity to catch Jersey at its best, enjoying the warmer climate of a continental summer and taking in the island’s unspoilt natural beauty. In addition to the growing music scene, Jersey is also host to a number of major sporting events throughout the year that have helped the island establish a distinct cultural identity, making it more alluring to visitors.
The unique Anglo-French culture of Jersey can be an attraction in itself, with elements of both cultures being widely on display, and Jersey Live is a chance for festival-goers to enjoy a European holiday experience a little closer to home. The island’s proximity to the UK, coupled with the frequency of flights to Jersey, have long made the destination a popular choice for British holidaymakers, and as events like the Jersey Live festival gain prominence, Jersey can look forward to welcoming more international visitors than ever before in the coming years.
