Meet The Honeymoons…

This band pride themselves on their stonkingly top end performances that get partygoers up on the dance floor and keep them there! The musicianship within this wedding band is second to none and as their repertoire extends from the 1950s through to this year’s floor fillers, they can very easily cater for every taste.

Having received numerous glowing client testimonials over the past few years, we can honestly say that The Honey Moons are the perfect party band for both weddings and corporate functions. They closed the show at the Scottish Grand National in Ayr in June 2014 which was a fantastic experience and they went down a storm, but they also play the odd bar gig and have regular preview showcase events in Edinburgh if you wish to try before you buy.

Everything you need to know…

5 or 6 piece: The band can include either a tenor saxophone player or fiddle player or better yet, both.

Background Dinner Set: If you wish, incidental background music can be played while you enjoy your buffet.

Ceilidh Section: The band can also provide a Ceilidh section (with calling), the length of which varies as per set up.

Disco: They can host a disco at the end of the night. Their P.A. and lighting system are state of the art.

The band will happily take requests for 1st dances or even just to surprise someone. Generally speaking, four weeks notice is required and they’d delighted to learn a song that is special to you both or if you prefer, they can play it from a CD or in MP3 format though the P.A. system.

The Honey Moons will tailor your evening’s entertainment around you and will happily cater for any special requirements. They are always happy to answer any of your questions so please get in touch.

The Honey Moons are based in Edinburgh and frequently play throughout the central belt and borders and are happy to travel for events.

Their standard wedding performance time is three x 60 minute sets with breaks. This usually covers an 8/9pm – midnight slot but they can be pretty flexible with the set times and will always work around client schedules.

5 piece band

This comprises female lead vocals (who also plays electric guitar and keyboard), electric guitar (who also sings backing vocals), electric bass guitar (who also sings male lead vocals) and drums (full drum kit) plus either:
