What happens when you are taking a break between sets?

We have a number of playlists that we select songs from. We will always have music playing to keep the atmosphere going!

Can we select music to be played at various times, for example during breaks?

Sure can – we can play anything from a Spotify playlist – just share the link with us! Something Blue can also play specific songs when you are welcoming the wedding party- For example you may have certain songs that add humour or fun to the welcome parade.

How long are your breaks between sets?

Generally they are 15-20 minutes long. We will of course adjust the timing of our breaks where you are wanting to include speeches and other parts of the ceremony.

Can one of our guests sing a song at the reception?

Absolutely - we can either back them up live (rehearsal required), or play a backing track while they perform! Details shiuld be discussed when we are preparing the quotation.

Do you offer DJ services?

Yes- we can stream dance music, or specific tracks. We can play live for the period agreed, and then stream dance music into the night! We have massive fun with this, and so do the guests!!

How long will you be playing for?

This is worked out with you prior to quoting. You may, for example, want us to play some songs when guests arrive for the ceremony, when the bride walks down the aisle, and again while they enjoy canapes afterwards. Similarly music for the reception will be planned to ensure that it is tailored to suit your running sheet. On the day we will continue to liaise closely with your MC, to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Simon was a dream to work with from the word go! No challenge to big and a very evident delight in musicality. If you want a personal experience rather than working with the “wedding factory” suppliers then Simon and Aden are for you. We received so many compliments of how fantastic they were from the pre-ceremony right through to the dancefloor band. They learnt a whole pile of new songs for us and played with such talent, energy and charisma. Not to mention that they are lovely, lovely people. Do yourself a favour and book them ASAP.

Something Blue provided pre-ceremony live music for our wedding on the beach at Bridport in Tasmania, which was loved by all who attended. This was not a straightforward task as Something Blue had to arrange travel and accommodation for the trip to Northern Tasmania, and also provide suitable equipment to perform in the remote sand dunes, despite the lack of available power. Their professionalism, communication and throughly engaging performance was greatly appreciated by us, and enjoyed by all who attended. Thanks so much to Something Blue for making the event even more memorable!

How long should we have a sax player for at our wedding reception?

I want to have a sax player at my wedding reception but I'm not sure how long they should play for - any suggestions?

Aden and Simon Music

Hi, it sounds like you might have something specific in mind, but I will do my best to provide an answer for you.

A sax player can add incredible tone to any band, and we can certainly provide an excellent sax player for your wedding. Many songs can be given extra soul and excitement through the use of a sax, but the duration that they play within a song, will depend on the nature of the song chosen. Often sax players take solos within the song, or add extra harmony to various sections.

The length of time you have a sax player at a wedding ultimately depends on how many songs the band has arranged for them to play in. Our sax player is used for probably 50% of our band songs. The songs they play can be spread throughout the night. Sax can inject incredible energy into a dance song, so they may be involved towards the dance section of the night in particular. Having said this there are some incredible sax parts in quieter songs such as Baker Street by Gerry Raffety, or Careless Whisper by George Michael. Great sax players can also perform by themselves, but this is not particularly common.

Perhaps if you could please describe how you envisage the sax player being used at the wedding, we can provide more specific advice. If it is for a specific song(s) that you want played we can certainly provide better advice.

Kind regards

Simon
