FAQS
Can you tell us more about Mike Paul-Smith Music?
Mike Paul-Smith Music is a small collection of bands run by musical director Mike Paul-Smith. Since 2005 we have been performing for wedding receptions and private parties across the UK and abroad. We're best known for our stylish and energetic party bands, which get audiences of all ages up and dancing.
Can you provide music for the rest of our wedding day?
Yes! We can provide live musical entertainment for every part of your day. You can book a string quartet or pop singer for your wedding ceremony; roaming band or jazz group for your drinks reception; a cocktail pianist for your dinner; and then a sensational party band to close off the evening in style. We love building bespoke live music packages so just get in touch with your ideas and we'll get planning.
Where do you travel?
We love to travel - we are based in London but travel anywhere in the UK or internationally.
What style of music do you play?
We play a large mix of swing, soul, Motown and pop music - designed to get audiences of all ages on the dancefloor. We're known as one of the best vintage bands in the UK and particularly love performing swing and big band music. Our musicians are all classically trained and can also provide classical music for your ceremony or drinks reception.
How are you different from other wedding bands?
We think there are a few things that really set us apart from other bands. Firstly, we never use click tracks or backing tracks - with Mike Paul-Smith Music every note you hear is live, giving our performance unrivalled spontaneity and energy (also, all of our promotional videos are filmed live so you know exactly what we'll sound like at your event). We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and attention to detail, with thousands of happy clients. Our musicians are friends off-stage and on, which really comes across in our performance, and many of our songs are arranged into medleys so there are seamless transitions between songs. Finally we're not just a wedding band - we also perform at theatres, concert halls and jazz clubs throughout the country meaning you can come and see us live before you book.
