Beat Street

Act fee from £2000

Having formed in 2012, drummer/backing singer, musical director & manager Steve Burkwood bought together the most talented and vibing pro session musicians and vocalists encountered during his 20 years of professional experience, to create THE ULTIMATE FUNCTION BAND – a quick glance at the band’s reviews shows how clients and guests are blown away by the level of talent on display, and the band’s unique selection of awesome songs, EVERY time!

The band have performed at countless high-profile corporate events for many household names companies, at many Premiership football clubs, and at a televised event in front of 8,000 at Twickenham Stadium Rugby 7’s - but are equally at home performing at smaller venues, weddings and private birthday or anniversary parties. Famous clients include Sir Alex Ferguson and movie star James Phelps (Fred Weasley), who’s wedding they performed at was attended by many Harry Potter cast members including Rupert Grint!

As well as being ‘self-contained’ providing a 2800w PA system, mic for announcements, and ‘sound active’ lighting rig suitable for events up to 200 people (hiring additional PA & lighting advised for large corporate events), the band offer many extra bolt-on options in order to be a one-stop-shop catering for all your needs, helping to make your event complete by booking one single entertainment supplier; including a full manned DJ service (catering for requests), additional cocktail pianist and acoustic duo performances and more. Where there are budget restraints or venue limitations such as low threshold sound limiters, the band can be reduced to a smaller 6 piece line up - please see booking options and/or ask when requesting a quote!

Beat Street

“Beat Street were BRILLIANT. They really brought the energy and joy to our wedding guests and so many people raved about their performance. They had people who haven’t danced in thirty years (my dad for one!) on the floor most of the night which is unheard of. So much fun- especially when one of the groomsmen danced so hard his trousers split!! Thank you so so much for a great night.”
