This is one acoustic band in serious demand.

Combining two acoustic guitars, percussion, saxophone, double bass and a whole lot of harmonies, The City Strollers offer a fresh delivery of live music through their arrangements of classic songs and modern hits in a warm, feel-good style of performance. Together, these musicians’ five instruments create the perfect bed for harmonised vocals.

If you want the full sound of a complete band, with a more acoustic delivery, or you’re just looking for a performance with a twist, then The City Strollers are the band for you. These corporate entertainers will leave your guests with some incredible memories of your event that will last a lifetime. 

Highlights:

– Premium roaming acoustic band

– The UK’s leading walk-around act moving around your event and performing to different tables or groups of guests that they come to, OR as a fixed band in one spot with sound system.

– Dressed to impress – The City Strollers are sponsored by award-winning British designer Marc Darcy

– Flexible styles of music to suit any occasion.

– Repertoire includes classic songs and modern hits performed with a warm, feel-good British twist. 

– Highly experienced band members each with over a decade’s worth of gigging experience worldwide.

– Professional, friendly and positive attitude.

Length Of Performance:

2x45 minutes as standard. 

Adaptability for all events:
With five instruments playing together, it’s very easy for the band to play a more relaxed set or a more lively one, so no matter whether you’re hosting a black tie dinner or an informal birthday party, you can be confident that the band will look and sound the part for your event.

The Extras:
The PA Option
If you’re looking for an acoustic band to perform with a live sound system instead of the walk-around option, The Travelling Hands have it covered for you as they also regularly perform as an amplified band with a top end professional sound system plus lighting rig at the ready. Perfect for events where you have a dance-floor, or where you’d like the music to feature more prominently at your event.

Acoustic Duo, Trio or Quartet
If you were thinking of also hiring an acoustic duo or trio at your event to get things started, we have more good news. The band members often perform as duos or trios so this is very comfortable territory for them and they always deliver another top-class performance.

As the musicians will be heading to your venue for the full band performance, adding on a performance from an acoustic duo (consisting of the two acoustic guitarists/vocalists from the band) or trio (plus either percussion or double bass) is very easy to do. Perfect at the start of your event, over afternoon drinks or during a dinner as a small musical taster for your guests to enjoy.

Alternatively for smaller events, the full band can downsize to an acoustic quartet or trio.
