String Quartet

String Quartets are extremely popular at wedding ceremonies and corporate functions during receptions and meals. We have an extensive repertoire of light classical and popular music from Bach to the Beatles and Braveheart to James Bond. We are happy to specially arrange and perform music of your choice at no extra charge. Wind and Sax quartets are also available on request and the players can then change instruments for a completely different style.

Background Music

Three members of the string quartet can change instruments to form a Violin, Piano & Bass trio playing gentle jazz music for receptions and meals. There are several other options available for example Violin & Piano duo for Classical, Rock, Pop, Folk or Jazzy background music. Piano+Bass or Sax+Piano duos are available to play light Jazz during say a meal or drinks reception.

Ceilidh Barn Dance Band
(Complete with full instructions & demos)

This versatile Band is led by a real ceilidh-dancin' Scotsman who knows all the steps and is very popular at weddings. This is a great way to get the partty started and the instructions are so simple that anyone can Ceilidh dance even with no prior experience. We can also provide music for Dinner dances with ballroom style - all with the same players, we just change instruments to Sax, Piano, Bass and Drums.

Jazz Band

The Jazz band is available in many forms from a gentle 3 piece up to full swing line-up with male or female singer, 2 Saxes, Piano, Bass and Drums. All the variations of the band perform well-known Jazz / Blues standards and a variety of Latin numbers. The style of the band is intended to entertain the broad spectrum of tastes found at weddings and corporate functions. The repertoire is always changing and takes it’s inspiration from many sources but the band never play too loudly and prefer to stay cool rather than go wild. We think you’ll like it!

Party Band

This six piece pop party band performs classic rock from the 60s to present day and is 100% live! The band comprises both male and female singers, lead guitar, sax, keyboard, bass and drums. Other types of music can be played for example quicksteps, waltzes or Ceilidh all with the same players.

Medieval Music

For special Themed events at the many spectacular Castles in the region, NES can now provide music from the Medieval, Renaissance and Tudor periods played on original reproduction instruments in costume. Great for a banquet!

NES will gladly play CDs through the band PA system at no extra charge - for example for the 1st dance, during the interval, or as guests arrive. Just let us know the style you would like or supply your own disc. We can also include a Disco section at the end of the night as well complete with our flashing lights rig.
