Description
Hailing from the South West of England, The Originators travel far and wide to get the party started. Having built up a sterling reputation with audiences over the last few years, these guys know how to make every wedding and party feel special.
The band captures the best of rock and indie while combining it with polished modern pop and a song book that stretches back through the entire history of popular music. They aren’t afraid to get off the stage and onto the dancefloor. Past gigs have included ‘dance offs’, rap battles and unexpected appearances from the guests themselves! You never know what might happen next!
Bringing the sound and excitement of an epic concert that can be scaled to suit any venue, The Originators don’t just turn up and play the songs. They do everything in their power to create a live show that jumps out and grabs you – from belting out anthemic choruses to getting stuck in on the dancefloor.
From the first contact, right up to the day itself they will do everything they can to help everything run smoothly, and they pride themselves on being approachable and professional. Each one of them takes a huge amount of joy from their performance and it really shows! They aim to play every set like it is their last!
With every band member able to sing they are capable of a huge sound. They also add extra keyboards and drum samples when needed to fill out the sound and give you the best experience possible.
If you need additional music during the day The Originators can provide a range of options, from an acoustic duo in the sun to your favourite song as you walk down the aisle. They can also offer background solo piano, or if you book the brass section finish the night with a sax and DJ performance!
