Emerald Skies 6-piece female-led wedding and party band featuring two female vocalists

Our basic technical requirements are:

Minimum performance space: 5m x 3m
Power: 2 x standard 13-amp sockets
Setup & soundcheck: approximately 45 minutes
Pack down: approximately 1 hour
Sound limiter: Yes, we’re happy to perform with a venue sound limiter
Access: straightforward load-in access and nearby parking where possible
Outdoor events: a safe, level and fully covered performance area protected from the weather

For a 6-piece band, this gives us enough room to set up safely and perform comfortably.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

We’d need the full venue address, a contact name/number, load-in and parking details, performance space available, power access, and whether there’s a sound limiter. It’s also helpful to know any access restrictions, stairs, curfews, setup times or venue-specific rules in advance so we can plan everything smoothly.

One of our favourite gigs was performing at a large convention in Blackpool in front of around 1,000 people. The atmosphere was incredible, the crowd were really up for it, and it was one of those nights where the energy just kept building from song to song. Definitely one of our most memorable performances.

Grace the lead singer is hugely influenced by female powerhouse artists — singers with unmistakable voices, attitude and stage presence. Think Cher, Bonnie Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton and Joan Jett. We love big vocals, huge choruses and songs that instantly bring a room to life.

If we had to pick a favourite artist, Tina Turner would be right up there — incredible voice, energy and charisma.

And greatest song of all time? Proud Mary is hard to beat — it builds, it explodes, and it always gets a crowd going.

We’re all seasoned musicians who have been involved in bands and live music projects for many years, with some of us also performing as solo artists and in duos. The band came together through a shared love of live music and performing, and since then we’ve built up a strong reputation gigging at weddings, parties, corporate events, festivals, pubs and live music venues across the Midlands and beyond.

We love playing big outdoor events in the summer. There’s something brilliant about a warm evening, a big crowd and a packed outdoor dancefloor. Festivals, summer parties and large open-air events always have an amazing atmosphere and are some of our favourite gigs to play.

We normally allow around 1.5 hours before the performance for load-in, setup and soundcheck.

Our typical performance format is 2 x 45-minute live sets with around a 20-minute break in between, although we can be flexible depending on the event and venue.

Absolutely — we love playing outside! Outdoor weddings, summer parties and festival-style events are some of our favourites.

We just ask for a flat, level performance area, suitable cover/shade and a safe power supply close to the stage area.

Yes — clients are very welcome to have input into the set. We can learn specific songs within reason, although additional requests may incur a small fee to cover rehearsal time. For weddings, we’re happy to learn and perform your first dance at no extra cost.

Previous clients most commonly describe us as high-energy, professional, friendly and great at getting everyone dancing. One review summed it up perfectly: “Great energy, real crowd-pleasers and hit after hit.”
