    The Borders
    Biography:

    The Borders are a funk-infused 5-piece band, showcasing a set list of hits from throughout the decades – almost 6 decades to be exact! This close unit of musicians deliver a slick and groovy performance you’ll never forget.

    Featuring a combination of classic favourites from Marvin Gaye and James Brown, party-starters from Chic and Prince, and modern chart-toppers by Pharrell Williams and Bruno Mars, The Borders’ repertoire seamlessly ties together funk, soul, Motown, disco and pop.

    The Borders boast an impressive line-up of a magnificent lead female vocalist, male vocals and electric guitar, bass, keys and drums. These stellar musicians’ performance ensures you have a night of rollicking entertainment that’ll make jaws drop.

    This incredible, floor-filling band have been performing together for nearly 10 years. With hundreds of weddings, parties and corporate events under their belts, The Borders know exactly how to get you and your guests moving on the dance floor. All members of The Borders have extensive musical backgrounds as trained musicians at prestigious universities and colleges. Over their exceptional careers, they have performed for many important clients, including Michael Owen’s (pro-footballer) relative’s wedding at his stables in Cheshire. Other clients; The Royal Air Force, Greater Manchester Police, BLISS and Llangollen Pavilion.

    The Borders offer a smaller 4 or 3-piece option, without keys and drums, ideal to suit venues with limited performance space or sound limiters. As well as this, you can book their charming classical guitar, spellbinding piano, acoustic duo or delightful solo vocalist set for your wedding ceremony or drinks reception. Add more incredible music to your big day!

    When you book The Borders, they will come fully contained with all the equipment they need for their performance, including lighting and a PA system. In between their live sets, they also provide a manned DJ service where you can make requests throughout the night. Additionally, The Borders will learn one special request/first dance and perform it on the night of your event, included in their price.

    This Manchester band for weddings, parties and corporate events is available throughout the North, the Midlands and Wales.

    "Just a quick note to thank you for playing at my party on Saturday! All my guests have raved over your band and we all had the most amazing time! Once again thank you all!"
    Live Event Band
    "Thank you so much for all your work you put in for Julies surprise party. She loved every minute of it and all the guests had a great time. Should we have any more events and require a band and DJ you will be at the top of the list to contact. Thanks again and all the very best for 2018"
    Party Band Review
    "Just writing to say a big thank you to the three of you for making our "Dad and Daughter" birthday party for Roger and Jennifer such a good evening. I hadn't told Roger that I had booked a band until the week before when I printed your playlist for Roger to choose the type of music he would like for the evening! Our aim was to keep people on the dance floor all evening, and once we got people started I think you achieved that for us quite easily! We had a great time, with many messages over the weekend from people saying how they enjoyed it. Great guitarists and super vocalist."
