The Lightyears x The Angels Events

The Lightyears x The Angels

Hi Eleanor (and the team at The Angels Events),

We’ve created a new live band / DJ crossover show that we think might be up your street.
We made this video to tell you more…

Ibiza meets Glastonbury

Combining a rock band and DJ to create a unique dancefloor-filling live show featuring samples from the original artists. For festivals and large corporate & private events.

Why we’re getting in touch…

Hi Eleanor (and team),

Thanks for taking a few minutes to see what we’re up to.

I’m based just north of York, although the rest of the band are in and around London. You were recommended to us because of your great work at Rudding with the Firecracker Ball, but actually, I recently discovered that you guys were behind Will and Tash Calvert’s amazing wedding in Thirsk in 2013. Will’s a good friend (and godfather to one of my sons) and that event was very memorable – until I drank half a bottle of his granny’s brandy..!

Like you, our band prizes attention to detail, striking visuals and a personal touch for our clients. Most of all, we strive to deliver an unforgettable live show that has our audiences dancing and singing on the night and creating memories to last a lifetime. We’ve channelled all those values into our brand-new show, Bangers & Anthems – perfect for larger corporate and private events and festivals.

We’d love an opportunity to chat on Zoom about how we can hopefully work together to bring the new show to clients. If you’re available in the coming weeks, do send me an email and we’ll get something in the diary.

Bands play songs.

We play blocks.

Bangers & Anthems is our new flagship show and has been designed to more closely mirror a DJ set than a standard covers band. We ditched 80% of our set and added pop and dance anthems we’d previously considered ‘un-giggable’, building blocks of music that flow together.

Here are five that have been going down a storm this year:

We are 100% live.

We sample the artist and add it to the mix.

Of course, we can play 100% live if we want to… we just choose to incorporate some of the greatest pop and dance vocalists and riffs into our show. Try listening from just outside the venue – Is it a DJ? Is it a band? From the stage, we see people come to the dancefloor for the recorded music, then realise what’s going on and engage with the live performance.

A lucky dip of session musicians.

Consistent line-up. Consistent chemistry.

Did we mention that The Lightyears are made up of friends and brothers who have been playing in the same line up since we were kids? No random session musicians here – Robbie Williams can keep them!
