FORMATS

Xtatic is made up of a collective of musicians. We have the best drummers, guitarists, drummers and percussionists to call on. the best saxophonists, trumpeters, trombonists. And of course some of the finest singers, such as Vanessa Haynes.

We vary the line-up to suit the event. For example, A latino based outfit would include percussion & trumpets. A "rat-pack" band would definately include 5 piece brass section, and perhaps only 2 singers. the bigger band you book, the more flexible it is. However a 14 piece band for 80 guests might be overkill unless you were a fanatic big-band music lover!

Our small band (5-6 piece) is very funky, and flexible. so talk the event through with us, and we can advise the best solution

We have started to quote based on price breaks. (between £1500 - £10K)
You start by telling us about the venue, its location, the issues of security and load in. And we talk about sound systems and lighting. Then we move on to style of music, requests, type of party. Of course, you let us know what types of budget you have.
At that point we suggest a size and style of band.

• Our most Popular format is the 8-10 piece Band - Rhythm Section, 3 singers, Sax (and percusiion and trumpet for 10)

• 10-16 Piece - adds more brass. But variations allow for more singers, or percussion. The big band is perfect for really special events, where big sound, big repertoire, and featured singers is required.

• Our 5-6 piece band is perfect for small stages and nightclub-by atmospheres, and tight budgets.
