Party Bands
5rLIVE
5 piece band.
If its live music you want, then 5rLIVE are for you.....a group of experienced and accomplished musicians, drawn together by their love of live music.
Some say that it’s because of their age that a high proportion of their repertoire is drawn from the 60’s and 70’s!!!!!!
That the band is of a certain age cannot be denied, but what is equally true is that they feel privileged to have grown up with some of the most memorable tunes ever recorded.
The mission is now to carry their audiences back across the decades and deliver instantly recognisable melodies with stunning vocal harmonies, some to sit, admire and remember but most designed to set feet tapping and fill the dance floor with those set on having a great time.
5rLIVE can also provide a disco giving a whole nights entertainment.
Price from £400

Welcome to Wobblers!

Often these celebrations include members of the family from several different generations with lots of different takes on what having a good time means. That means that the entertainment for the event is a tough act. It's not an easy job but someone's got to do it.
And Wobblers do it. Years of experience of reading your guests and what will get them smiling assisted by a huge range of material and routines mean that we can almost always get everyone in the party mood. Everyone from four to eighty four is included; even grumpy Uncle Eric who never dances and would sooner be watching Casualty anyway.
Ones Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah is a once in a lifetime occasion and you want it to be just right. Wobblers has made a speciality of these celebrations and has a proven recipe to make the event a stunning success.
Principal, Ian Curtis, has acted as compere at scores of bar mitzvahs in the past few years. He has put together a Bar Mitzvah Planner to help you organize your party and he is pleased to assist you in any aspect of getting the event together. Use his experience in choosing the right venue, the right music for each part of the celebration, sourcing gifts for your guests, arranging kipots. The Planner Checklist along with a list of recommended venues in London and range of other material for you to download and use has been assembled into our information library. Click here to go to the Bar Mitzvah Planning page.
The experience of the Wobblers team translates into a smoothly organized, polished show as an integral part of your Bar Mitzvah party. All of the traditional rituals and protocols are properly observed. It will be a blend of formality and fun that will ensure that all of your guests, young and not so young, will find to be a joy. And we never forget who the real star of the occasion is.
