For the real live music connoisseurs out there, we put our chef’s hat on and cooked up our favourite wedding band recipe. You can mix and match to suit your taste, but be warned - take too many ingredients out and your band souffle may come out a little flat.
Ingredients:
- 1 x supreme lead vocalist / rhythm guitarist
- 1 x grooviest drummer plausible
- 1 x super laid-back bass player (electric or upright)
- 1 x outrageous lead guitarist (with a dash of ego, but not as big as the vocalist’s, as they will fight)
- 1 x balanced and reliable sound technician (if possible - there is speculation as to whether such a species exists)
Optional extras:
- 1 x extra tasty keyboardist
- 1 x extra spicy percussionist
- A sprinkling of sumptuous backing vocalists to taste
Method:
Take the initial ingredients and mix together in one rehearsal room for a few hours. Find and collate as many of your favourite songs as possible and categorise them under headings such as soul classics, chart hits, chilling out, rocking out. Leave to simmer in rehearsal sessions over a few weeks. When smelling ripe and pungent, add in some of your optional extras to taste.
Book the wedding band on the event of your choice, turn the volume up to desired level, sit back (or hit the dance floor) and enjoy.
Note to chef: at no point in this procedure should the drummer be approached, conversed with, or amused. Such species are known to be unpredictable, unstable and, at times, volatile. These strange individuals are best left to hardened professionals with years of experience who know what they are doing. Drummers - walk away and just say no.
