Booking
Weddings and Private Parties
The entertainment is mainly responsible for the success of your party.
People will remember your party and talk about it for years afterwards, if they have had the opportunity to dance and sing along with music they enjoy. That is why it is so important to get the RIGHT band.
The Skinny Dippers are a real band, not a bunch of session musicians put together for a night. We have played hundreds of shows and we understand by now how to make a party swing. We enjoy playing music together, and we transmit that enjoyment to our audience. We have an extensive repertoire of songs covering a wide range of musical styles, and we play what is suitable for the occasion, not our own favourite songs. We will play at an appropriate volume for the venue and the occasion, and we will listen to you! If you want us to turn it down, we will. It’s your party! We do not have a pre-arranged set list. We play what feels right in the moment, to maintain momentum and keep the party bubbling and the Dance floor packed.
We have our own professional PA system and LED Lighting Rig & Lasers, and provide a full package of musical entertainment including the background music / disco. You do not need to hire a separate DJ, although we work with some great DJs and can arrange this if required.
If you are interested in booking us, you are welcome to come and see us play, or to review the videos in the video section. Our show is not only about the sound, it’s also about the atmosphere we generate. We are good at what we do, but don’t expect waltzes and foxtrots. We are not that kind of band!
Pubs / Clubs
We love playing in pubs and clubs. We do not book usually through agents, and so these gigs are the shop window through which we get many of our other gigs. We are also able to play some of the “rockier” songs that are not suitable for party gigs.
Costs
The Fee is negotiable and varies from zero for Charity gigs, to around £1,500. It depends on a number of factors including where the venue is, how big it is, how early the band need to arrive, how late it will finish and what exactly you want us to do. Our costs are all in and include all of the incidental music, and the disco. Every event is different, so think about what you want and call us to discuss. We will work with you to fine tune the details and provide a quote. We would advise you to book early if you have a specific date in mind.
