About / Biography

Elephants in the Room are four uniquely talented musicians with experience including a Universal Music recording contract, TV and radio exposure, numerous Glastonbury appearances, literally thousands of live shows and UK & overseas tours, who have come together to work as a professional function band.

With energy, enthusiasm and stage presence aplenty (" . . . . . so much charisma . . . . different class to all the bands I've seen . . . . . Elephants in the Room tick EVERY box" - John, Wedding Day Father of the Bride) Elephants in the Room have performed at Weddings, Charity Balls and Parties over the past five years building an enviable reputation. "Great performance guys! From the feedback we were given you made a lot of new fans, Sarah and I had a fab time dancing. I know my sister and brother in law were mightily impressed and will be booking you for their next party" Andy (Wedding Day Groom) . The band pride themselves on the fact that there's always an “Edge” and a sense that “Anything could Happen” making each performance unique.

The line up includes guitar, bass drums, occasional keyboards, saxophone & recorder as well as four vocalists for multi-part harmonies. Their repertoire covers The Stones, Bowie, T.Rex, Duran Duran, Blur & Oasis through to James Bay, The Killers and Kings of Leon stopping off at some more unusual destinations such as Boney M, Nancy Sinatra and Andy Williams.

Based in London and the South, the band are happy to travel to wherever the party is and will arrive in plenty of time to set up their own 4k sound & lighting rig and ensure the balance is perfect to fit the occasion.

Always polite, prompt and professional the band provide the essential energy, enthusiasm and entertainment to make any function memorable (you are delightful to deal with - very charming and so very willing to help - another reason we’d love to have you back - we have to enjoy working with the people we book, and you certainly fall into that category" Jacob Dylan Thomas (Promoter, Livestock Festival).

Their musicianship is second to none and their relationship with the audience enviable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Glastonbury Festival has to rate pretty highly though we're equally at home at more intimate affairs. We've even done one or two "front room" gigs. The intimacy really aligns with our interactive show and the way we ensure evryone feels involved.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Beatles, Killers, Oasis & David Bowie are all influences. Greatest song of all time is Cars That Collide "Streets Are Empty" which captured the mood of the Covid lockdown perfectly.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

White Light have been playing with the current line up since 2016. We have played around 1000 dates - Military, Charity Galas, Festivals, Corporate, Weddings, Holiday Parks & Special Birthdays/ Family Parties are all fun.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Any event where the behaviour is right "on the edge". i.e. 100% respectful but "anything could happen"


Where Are You Based

Our members live in four different counties across the South of England. Though none of us live within an hour of there, Bracknell best describes our "centre of gravity".


How long have you been together?

The current line up has been playing together since 2016.


Can I wear your jacket for a picture?

The jacket itself may be "unpleasant" right after a performance however such photo opportunities are generally accepted


Where did you get your shoes?

Various sources and suppliers - happy to share this information on the night

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We like to arrive at least two hours before the performance but set up can often take approx. 60 minutes - depends on the amount of equipment required.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely - a single regular/domestic 13amp supply and a flat surface to avoid "drum wobble" as well as protection from the elements is all we need


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

More than happy to liaise with the client over our set list. We have had several instances of a client suggesting an addition to our list that has gone on to become a regular in our set. Equally, rest assured, we have plenty of experience in chosing the right songs for the right ocassion so there's no onus on the client to make the selections.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

They love the way we get everyone involved. E.g.

"I had White Light play at my 60th birthday party, and I genuinely couldn’t have wished for anything more special. From the very first song, they filled the room with warmth, joy, and incredible energy. It felt as though they weren’t just performing at the party — they were celebrating with us.

Their music was outstanding, but what touched me most was the heart they put into every performance. They read the room beautifully, lifted the atmosphere, and even got people dancing who I honestly never expected to see on a dance floor again! Guests are still telling me how amazing the band were.

It’s rare to find musicians who are not only so talented, but also so genuine and committed to making your event unforgettable. Thanks to White Light, my 60th birthday became a night full of laughter, dancing, and memories I’ll cherish for years to come.

Thank you, White Light, for giving me a celebration that truly meant the world to me."


How long do you play for?

Our standard set is two x 60 minutes however we are 100% flexible to work around the timings of any event.
