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!

Diamonds Are Forever

 

Diamonds Are Forever.  This song has been recorded by the Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band and is one of our favourites!  A slow seductive start on the piano, a little gentle push with the vocals and then all the band enter with passion, feeling and a whole lot of brass.

Diamonds Are Forever – the James Bond Film made in 1971 with the title track of the same name, sung brilliantly by Dame Shirley Bassey and written by the incredible John Barry.  This Bond Theme only just made it however as the producer of the film hated it, and it was only through persuasion by co-producer Cubby Broccoli that ensured the song was used in the end!  The Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band are really pleased they did!  What a cracking number and as always, sung with passion by Dame Shirley Bassey.  According to rumours it was said that John Barry suggested, when singing the typical 007 Bond lyrics that were filled with innuendo – that she imagined she was singing to erm… well… a phallic shaped object!  We’re not really sure if that would have been inspirational or not!

To hear our version please follow the link to Soundcloud.  In order to give the best representation of our sound, this demo was recorded in the studio and mixed down by our own Sound Engineer Tony – who also happens to be one of the UK’s top recording engineers!  Please note – there are no multiple tracks or layers in this recording.  Just 10 musicians doing what they do best – and loving the end result.  Because we always bring Tony with us for all our Bond Themed events we can ensure that we always sound as authentic to the original music as possible – whatever bond music we are playing – whether in the recording studio or performing live at events.

As we only ever perform LIVE and only ever as a 10-piece, with the arrangements written especially for Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band, we know we sound like this each and every time we perform at all our events.  So, if you are looking to book band for a band for a James Bond Event then look no further! We are a lively Bond Tribute Band with an entertaining Cabaret style Bond themed set which is followed by a further set of non-stop party hits to really get the party started.  We know that for all the events we attend that our sound for the Bond Tribute set will be as close to the original themes as possible.  In addition, our performance is lively, professional, and above all we really do enjoy what we do.  This ensures that the client and all their guests also have an amazing evening and a night to remember!
