New Year

We had a great Xmas, with the lovely people at Google employing our electric violin and turntables duo for their new office opening at Level 4, in Belgrave House in London. See the picture for their cool surroundings, without the need for any extra backdrop.

Thanks to Stephen Rosenthal for hiring us - it was a pleasure to meet you and the very friendly and nice people from Google. We had fun, and Naomi commented that is was the 1st time ever that a client had helped her and Matt take down at the end of the night. She was very happy about this!

As well as that, we provided live gospel singers for Ron Dennis, and also outside Addidas, Covent Garden, played in a beautiful Christmas wedding at the Cavalry and Guards Club, a charity event in Brick Lane, and a Christmas party for Black Sun in Fulham Palace - to name a few of our events. The 20s theme and its fashion continues with Duncan and his guys doing a great prohibition set in their own suave way.

If you're looking for live musicians for hire in any event you're planning for 2012, please do call us - 07958 031797 - we're always delighted to look for the most unusual acts as well as those who just keep getting successfully booked because they're so damn good.

Happy New Year to all from Liquid Strings.

Wedding Fair Richmond Hill Hotel

We are really excited to be meeting new brides and grooms to be in Richmond tomorrow morning. I am going to be answering any questions about how to best use live music in your wedding, whilst Louise is going to be playing beautiful music on her harp.

Do come and say hello if you're local - it's going to be packed full of great exhibitors, and we're looking forward to a great day! There are loads and loads of musicians for hire for weddings in London and the surrounding region.

Our Gospel Singers are singing in High Wycombe today. It is an event organsied by Janssen-Cilag and Johnson and Johnson in aid of Positively UK for World Aids Day. 9 singers and a keyboard player will bring the venue alive with their superb singing.

We are delighted and honoured to be involved with this event, and hope that the auctions bring in much money for this incredibly important charity.

Here is Songae, one of our excellent violinists, playing at Jenny Baines' wedding in London in August. Solo violin, cello or harp is a great choice for sheer simplicity and purity of music at a wedding.

As we are now taking bookings for Christmas parties, we have added a superb new corporate entertainment act - ideal for corporate entertainment - which is a rock'n'roll trip into a great era of music. This is perfect with the whole trend of retro and vintage in London. It is a spectacular, costume-changing musical journey, and worth the trip!

Other forthcoming events include gospel singers for World Aids Day event and a string quartet for a Ball in a castle in France. Liquid Strings is also currently taking bookings for wedding jazz bands and wedding function bands for next year.

Live Jazz Band Hire and Liquid Opera

The summer was manic with a host of multiple-booked weddings, where we offered a string quartet, jazz band and covers band to the same clients, so taking care of all their musical wedding requirements.
It was our busiest summer yet - over 50 weddings in August, and great fun trying to get all the gospel singers, string quartets, guitarists, harpists etc. all arranged and ready to play.
We have 2 great new acts on the site. Duncan, a brilliant jazz clarinet player, who also plays sax and flute, with his duo or trio - have a look at this superb jazz band for hire. Jazz band (duo or trio) is great for smaller weddings, corporate events, parties and many other types of event. Duncan is a cheerful character and wants his music to bring a smile to anyone listening. Have a listen to the sound clips to get an idea of this swinging, toe-tapping music.

Also new to the site is Liquid Opera, a collection of lovely ladies (and if needed, one guy to balance proceedings!) with amazing opera voices, whose show will blow you away. The opera singers for hire have an amazing show for corporate functions, which is both musically exciting, funny and can really get your guests going.

Otherwise, we are still taking many booking for Christmas 2010 - live music for Xmas parties is often a choice for upbeat jazz with brilliant gospel singers belting out Christmas carols and creating the perfect atmosphere for the best side of Xmas (think mulled wine/gentle snow/mince pies, not recession/cold dark days!)....live music for events can utterly uplift people and people are still talking about our bands and artists long after the event.

Liquid Strings at Green Business Awards

New artists to Liquid Strings are the fantastic wedding harpist Louisa and the brilliant jazz wedding pianist Joe.

Recent events include a host of weddings and also last wednesday we provided a string quartet for the Sunday Times Green Business Awards in The Roof Gardens, Kensington. The event was excellent, and we had a fab night!

May has seen erratic weather and lots of gigs - including Tom at The Langham, Louisa and a String Trio in The Caledonian Club, Julilan and his jazz band in the park (Paddington Recreation Ground - see photo), Gospel Singers in Luton Hoo Hotel, a Wedding String Quartet in Stationers Hall and The Roof Gardens - and much more.

We also provided a string quartet in Regents Park for Regent's College, an academic graduation ceremony where the string quartet turned into a Karaoke band, as students and lecturers began singing along to the likes of 'Angels' and 'Sweet Dreams are made of These'.

We finish it on Saturday with another wedding in Hampton Court Palce - fingers crossed for more sunshine
