Down typically play two sets per gig, lasting approximately
one hour each. The music performed is a massive mixture
of hits from the 60s right through to the present day
and their main aim is to ensure everybody has a great
time boogying on down on the dance floor to some funky
tunes! |

Upside
Down also offer additional theme sets if required. Their
huge musical repertoire is vast enough to play just
70s tunes for either one or both of their two sets,
and they can dress up in appropriate costumes for a
70s disco night. Also available is a James Bond set
comprising 12 well-known 007 soundtrack themes, and
a sophisticated jazz set, each lasting one hour. Either
of these last two options may well be suitable earlier
on in an evening; both are ideal for a reception or
to enhance the atmosphere during a meal.

| The
sound of the band is augmented by a state of the art
MIDI sequencing system which powers a lighting rig,
controls the automated mixing desk, and adds additional
instrumentation, backing vocals and sound effects. This
ensures a rich, balanced sound combined with a lighting
show, which is specifically synchronized to the music
and enables songs to be chained together to create "DJ"
type medleys, which are perfect for encouraging your
guests onto the dance floor. |
