Bond Themed Weddings

The Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band have performed at some amazing James Bond Themed Weddings over the years!

The Bond films are always a big hit worldwide and there have been so many made over the years.  The gadgets.  The Bond girls.  The Bond cars. The baddies.  The action.  The music.  The many faces of Bond.

There are so many films to choose from and everyone always has their favourite!  Many couples now choose to have something a little different for their wedding and a Bond Tribute Band for your special day is always a hit.

The Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band perform the Bond Themes early in the evening, either through the drinks reception, the wedding breakfast, or towards the end of the meal to add impact, pizzazz and atmosphere.  Later in the evening we play a party set with floor-fillers from the 1960’s to present day chart hits to really get the party started!

Of course, we can also play a more laid-back and chilled set for a drinks reception with a few jazz/easy listening classics.  Having a James Bond theme for your wedding also means that your guests can really go to town with their outfits with the ladies in elegant evening dresses and gentlemen in DJs. We’ve even played weddings where the guests have turned up in their favourite character: Blofeld, Jaws, Pussy Galore, OddJob and even one guest who dressed as Daniel Craig but just wearing blue swimming trunks and a mask!  You can really let your imagination run wild.

If you are thinking about a James Bond Themed Wedding then please get in touch!  We’d love to hear from you!

Happy Birthday FRWL

Happy 50th Birthday to From Russia With Love!

This James Bond film, the second by Eon Productions and the second with the suave Sean Connery in the role as Bond was released on the 10th October 1963!  This of course featured the gypsy scene where the two ladies fought furiously over James Bond with Spectre as the baddie and with Daniela Bianchi as the Bond girl Tatiana Romanova.

The theme at the start of the film was John Barry’s James Bond Theme but the title song was performed by Matt Munro and heard during the film and playing over the end credits.  This is a lovely piece of music and a favourite Bond Theme that The Name is Band – a Bond Tribute band love to play!  Our own crooner is of course Gavin Lazarus and our version can be heard here on soundcloud or here on our website – www.bondtributeband.co.uk
