Blog#8 First Booking of 2019

Hello everyone, happy 2019, may it be a successful one for you.

 We're very excited to be performing our first booking of 2019 tomorrow, a black tie event in Diss, Norfolk.

 We'll be performing new songs.  The recent funky and upbeat 'Treasure' - Bruno Mars, and 'Cake by the ocean' - DNCE, and the smoochy classic 'Angels' - Robbie Williams.

 We're also hoping to take footage for a gig video diary of a typical 'Energy' booking, and try to keep it under 1, maybe 2 mins - watch this space,  but who knows how long it will take me to edit it?

 Thanks for reading, we'll be blogging again before long,

 Phil
Band Leader and Drummer

Blog#5 The Band Rehearsal/How To Make A Rehearsal Successful/New Songs

Welcome to our 5th blog, thanks for reading. The last three blogs centred on choosing appropriate songs for 'Energy' and constructing a set to make every booking go with a bang. This blog is an insight to our rehearsals . .  How Often Do We Rehearse? This varies but probably every month or so.  We know the 'set' inside out so don't need to go over songs we perform  regularly .   Rehearsals are for new songs, we tend to learn new material quickly and get it in the set as soon as we can to test drive it and set if it will remain. When we first formed we tried to rehearse every single week to get together a body of material. OK, it's not rocket science but when we get the below things right we have a productive rehearsal. I'm lucky to have a little studio space at my house in Norwich, Norfolk big enough for us to rehearse, this saves me time travelling to rehearsal and setting up my drum kit.

Blog#7 The Christmas Party Booking/The (Difficult) Load In

The Christmas Party Booking Our most prolific type of booking is without a doubt the wedding reception.  We absolutely love to help make the bride and groom's day by making sure that all of the finite details of their special day are tended to.  The wedding reception booking is also the most involved. A More Straight Forward Booking Other types of celebrations; birthday parties, corporate celebrations, and christmas bookings for example are more straight forward.  For example, we can't play the wrong song during the first dance, we don't have to work to such specific timings including cutting the cake and evening guests arriving, and we might not be requested to arrive so early. The Load In Our load in can vary hugely from venue to venue.  At some we're able to back up our vehicles to a door right next to the stage, hey presto . . all our equipment loaded in within 10 minutes.  Others may require a tricky walk through a number of doors and up flights ...

Blog#1 Our First Blog

Firstly, may we wish a warm welcome to anyone who is reading 'Energy's' first ever blog. In case you weren't sure we are a professional wedding/function/party band, established in earnest back in 2011 and have performed for many client's since then.   Whether for somebody's special day, Wedding, Birthday Party, Christmas Party, Corporate Celebration or any other cause for us to perform we've loved every single performance. We wanted the opportunity to share some of what goes on behind the scenes.  Whether a performance, a rehearsal, a look back into our history, a photo shoot or anything else significant that we would like to share. We're also looking to improve our online presence and hoping that this amongst other forums and mediums will let the world know that we're here . . and hopefully book us of course :-) Thank you for reading, please visit/like/follow/view the below too,  Phil Band Leader and Drummer www.energyf...
