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!
Bond Girl Hairstyles
Sarah (female vocalist and Bond Girl in the Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band) has spent hours looking on-line for inspirational Bond Girl hairstyles for a recent live DVD recording. The Bond Tribute Band The Name is Band recorded several songs: Skyfall, From Russia With Love, Live & Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, Thunderball and Diamonds Are Forever. To see the videos then visit our website.
Sarah found that the early iconic styles used big curlers followed by a huge amount of backcombing. Then followed about a litre of hairspray to hold it all in place so everything moved at the same time or didn’t move at all! Thankfully new products and styles have been made since then and Bond girl hairstyles now are much more relaxed but are still really glamorous. There isn’t really a Bond Girl hair look anymore so there are lots to choose from. So whether your hair is long, short, curly or straight there is a glamorous and sexy style that will suit both the event and your chosen dress for the evening.
If you have long hair then go for the loose big curls that fall casually to the shoulders, or tight curls along the 50’s Hollywood styles. For short hair, opt for the cropped sultry look or even the messy “bed hair” look for the ultimate in phooaar. If you have mid-length hair a tousled and loosely pinned “up-do” or a well-groomed and brushed back but seriously sexy ponytail.
Add some sparkles, diamante pins, ribbons, fresh flowers, bows, sequins to the finished hairstyle for added bling. All Bond girl hairstyles have something in common though – the hair looks glossy and healthy and has ooooodles of glamour! So whatever your own hair length and style there is a Bond girl look that will match both you and your chosen outfit.
When that bond music starts, and if you’re lucky enough to be at a Thunderball where The Name is Band the Bond Tribute Band are performing, then you’ll be A View to a Kill on the dancefloor! (See what we did there?)
