We require a performance space of at least 3 meters by 2 meters for optimal setup and 2 x 13 amp power sockets for our equipment. Additionally, having parking spaces for loading and unloading our equipment is helpful.
We ask for any specific directions to locate the venue and find the ideal spot for unloading our equipment. It’s also helpful to know in advance if there’s a sound limiter at the venue, as it may affect sound levels during the performance.
Yes, we’re fully self-contained and provide our own PA and lighting system for every gig. This ensures we deliver a high-quality performance regardless of the venue's setup.
Yes, we offer a DJ service via Spotify for £80. You can choose to have us create a playlist or bring your own. This service can be played before, after, or between our sets to keep the event lively and seamless.
For performances, Joe Bateman's band brings all necessary equipment, including a complete PA system and lighting rig. The setup requires around 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance to ensure everything is ready for a seamless show. The band will typically need a minimum performance space of 3m by 2m, and a few power outlets to power their equipment.
One of our most memorable gigs was performing at the national Hilton event. The energy of the crowd and the atmosphere of the venue were incredible, and we were thrilled with the amazing feedback. It was an honour to play for such a prestigious event, and it really highlighted our ability to engage and entertain.
While we love performing at all types of events, weddings are definitely a favourite! The joy and energy of the guests make it easy to get everyone dancing, and it’s always an honour to be part of such a special day.
Joe started performing during his university days, and from there, he built up experience through hundreds of gigs across the UK at weddings, parties, and events of all sizes. Each performance added to his reputation, creating the foundation for our current lineup and sound.
We draw inspiration from iconic artists known for their vocal power and guitar mastery, like Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, as well as legendary vocalists like Freddie Mercury and Adele. Joe’s favorite artist is John Mayer, whose mix of soulful vocals and intricate guitar work resonates deeply with us. And as for the greatest song of all time, “Imagine” by John Lennon stands out, for its timeless message and powerful simplicity.

With his band, Joe takes this to another level, offering a dynamic range that suits any event—from laid-back acoustic sets to full-band, high-energy performances.
We typically arrive about 1 to 1.5 hours before our performance to set up. Our standard sets are 2 x 60-minute sets, but we can also perform 3 x 40-minute sets if preferred. We find these set times create the ideal experience, keeping energy high and the audience engaged.
Yes, we're happy to perform outdoors! We just ask for a flat, level surface, access to power near the performance area, and some shade or cover to protect our equipment.
Clients are welcome to share song preferences, and we’re more than happy to discuss specific requests to tailor our set to your event. Our repertoire is crafted for maximum enjoyment, but we’re flexible and want to make sure the music fits your vision!
Our past clients often describe us as engaging and energetic, with a powerful sound that gets everyone on their feet. Joe’s soulful voice and our band’s dynamic performance style make for a memorable experience that guests rave about long after the event.
