A celebration or event without the presence of live music in some form is seldom ever reminisced – Christina Noel
Other than trying to convince the powers that be to have live music at their corporate events, conferences, weddings, birthdays and anniversary parties, we at Music for LONDON have one goal, it is to ensure we have:
1) Extremely Satisfied Clients by providing Committed Musicians and Entertainers.

- Providing Artistes that potray a certain charisma or X Factor while performing but are happy to perform for the listeners pleasure and not just themselves.
- Propose the most suitable artistes to your requirements and desired effect.
- To work within your budget and space by alternating the size of the ensembles/bands or adjusting the playing and arrival time where possible but never sacrificing on quality or reliability.
- Providing you with the peace of mind in the run up to the event by encouraging you to have a proactive dialogue with the artiste or ensemble leader with regards to performance aesthetics to ensure better creativity and synergy between both parties.
- By NOT recommending bargain bucket musicians who accept very low paying gigs as they are sometimes known to have different pay as you go numbers close to the gig date and often use non reliable transport.
- Music for LONDON always has a back up plan in case of the inevitable though we have not had to call on this plan more than 3 times in the last 10 years.
- We take the necessary steps to help our clients understand all the hidden costs in booking serious professional full time live performing musicians and entertainers. These cost include maintainance and renewal of PA equipment and instruments. Renewal of PAT test certificates, public liability insurance, studio time hire, transport cost, to use vehicles that are well maintained to ensure reliability.
- Providing contact details of previous clients who have used the same artistes if required.
