 Since
their formation, e2 have become synonymous with the
highest quality entertainment. They are used to playing
with high profile artists, appearing live and in the
studio as well as on TV and radio. This puts e2 leagues
above your usual function band and ensures your event
will live long in the minds of your guests.
e2 are one of the most flexible and versatile bands
around and are ideal for weddings, private and corporate
parties, large corporate events & awards ceremonies as
well as festivals and concerts.
They take a sound engineer as standard to all
performances no matter how small but will hire in extra
engineers for larger gigs if required as well as larger
sound or lighting rigs (see Options and speak to your
agent for more information)
e2 also offer an additional full DJ package between sets
to keep the party moving but also include CD background
music as standard if the DJ is not required.
For lighter jazz or background music during dinner or a
drinks reception the band perform as a trio or quartet
who can be booked out to perform before the main
performance starts.

E2 EXTRA OPTIONS
Lighting, Sound & the e2 Crew
Lighting - e2 can offer a fully choreographed and
directed lighting show which can include corporate logos
and party banners.
Sound - When booking
e2 you are guaranteed only state of the art equipment.
Sound systems available start from 3.5k, suitable for a
smaller audience, and go up to 10k, suitable for 1000 or
more guests.
Crew - The e2 crew
are all at the top of their respective fields (sound
engineering, lighting & band logistics) and they are
also sensitive to your event. They will always arrive on
time, in smart attire and be able to liaise with event
organizers and venues to help ensure the smooth and
discreet running of your event.
Brass Section
In keeping with the calibre of musicians in e2, the e2
brass section are all top-drawer players. Awesome solos,
great dance moves and fantastically tight playing are
all hallmarks of this remarkable section.
Individually seen with acts such as Gabrielle, Craig
David, Macy Gray, Amy Winehouse and Jamie Cullum, and on
TV shows such as The Johnny Vaughn Show, The Big
Breakfast, Pop Idol and The National Lottery Live, this
ensemble of brass players are exclusive to e2.
Dinner Jazz
As you would expect from a band of top musicians,
musical virtuosity and versatility come as standard.
Therefore e2 can offer Dinner Jazz, an unrivalled jazz
duo, trio or quartet. Dinner Jazz is not only
sophisticated and chic, it also sets a mood and
atmosphere that only live jazz can create. Whether for a
reception, or during dinner, this choice cannot fail but
bring a touch of class to proceedings.
DJ-Every great party
needs a great DJ.
In many ways a great DJ is as important as a great band.
After all, the band doesn't play for the entire evening.
A good DJ should be the anchorman for the event,
comparing and guiding the evening as well as maintaining
the vibe and atmosphere between the bands sets.
In fact, when you think about it, a great DJ is vital.
Not only are the e2 DJ's great, but they also have the
advantage of being part of the e2 team, working with the
band night after night. This close working relationship
offers an unrivaled understanding between band and DJ
ensuring a seamless transition between sets.
Along with the e2 DJ comes a stunning, state of the art
dance floor lighting rig that will create an atmosphere
that even the hardened "I've got two left feet" guest
will struggle to resist.
