Charm Music Entertainment Agency hire live music,gospel choirs,string quartets and covers bands wedding receptions and corporate events

The Top Hat Band got together in 1998. Weddings, corporate functions, 40th birthday parties… you name it they've done it.

They've played at some of the country's top venues including Knebworth House, Alexandra Palace, Pinewood Studios and The Natural History Museum. They have some pretty distinguished clients too, from Red Bull and Virgin Atlantic to Price Waterhouse and the BBC.

They've even played in front of the Queen, and if you can make her dance you can get anyone up on the floor.

It's a matter of professional pride that they approach every gig with the enthusiasm of a bunch of puppies who've just been let out into the garden. With top notch equipment, and funky lighting and visual effects. So you're guaranteed a great show, at a very sensible price of course.

When you've played as many weddings, parties and corporate functions as the top hat band you get to know quite a lot of songs. Our current set list opposite) and we're you're sure to find loads that you love.

We can't play all of them every night of course, but we want to make sure you don't miss out. So tell us what you'd like (and what you really really don't want to hear) and let's get this party started.

If you have any special requests let us know and we'll be happy to learn them. Unless it's Save Your Love My Darling by Renee and Renata of course

I just wanted to e-mail to say a massive thank you to the Top Hat Band for providing such fantastic entertainment on Saturday night!

The band were the first band EVER to manage to get people dancing at one of our events! They pitched it just right for the crowd. We would certainly thoroughly recommend the band to anyone planning an event.

They were completely professional and made things completely hassle free for us. Please pass on our apologies to the band that there were not more people left towards the end of the night - but the few of us that were still there thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thanks again

Please pass on our thanks to the Top Hat Band who played at our wedding on 30 June in Lichfield, Staffs. They were absolutely brilliant and really helped to make the night special.

SO many of our guests said just how great they were and we know that they gave out their cards to some of them!

Also, a big thank you to you and David for all your help with the organising, it was much appreciated.

Kind regards

Sarah (Hewitt) & Richard Brooks

"The Hat Band were excellent. Not only in their musical ability but also in their ability to interpret our rather vague instructions of what we wanted. The choice of music and volume were just right.

Many reports of stiff middle aged bones from dancing too long. They did indeed make a great appearance inspiring dancing. Very kind of them to play for what I believe was in the end considerably longer than their contracted period.

They appeared to be enjoying themselves and I certainly hope they did. We have had exceedingly favourable feedback from our friends and I have given you number as a contact for future business.

Thank you for your faultless organisation and I and Jo Jo would like the band to know how much we all enjoyed the music."

Ed Bates (40th birthday party)

"Just thought I would drop you a (somewhat belated) line to say thank you for the superb job you and your team did for our Christmas party at the Forum Hotel in London. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all and I trust you enjoyed the "auditions" from our finance team."

RSL Com Europe Ltd (Christmas Party)

"Craig and I just wanted to put a note in writing to say a very big thanks for providing brilliant entertainment at our Christmas Party in Alexandra Palace in December.

I have been inundated with compliments and remarks on how brilliant the staff thought the band were. The majority did not know what to expect and were so impressed when you started the first number ( I think they were expecting Chas and Dave!). I did keep reassuring them that they would not be disappointed and I glad to say I was right.

A live band has never been used for one of our Christmas Parties and now you are going to be a tough act to follow. Therefore consider yourselves booked for this year! That's if you will be doing "little" gigs at Christmas when you are international rock stars! (You never know!). Look forward to catching one of your gigs soon. Don't forget to put a gig list in the post!"

News International Newspapers Ltd (Christmas Party)


"We are still buzzing after your dazzling performance at my 40th birthday party on Sunday!

From speaking to my guests after the event, they don't want to wait for the next "official" party occasion, instead they are insisting we invent one so we can have you back again as soon as possible!

Thanks also for all your hard work before the event in putting together the programme for me there are many organisations who could learn a thing or two about customer service from your approach and attention to detail.

Please feel free to give my number to any of your prospective clients should they wish to reference a (very!) satisfied customer."

Shaun McConnell (40th Birthday Party)

"I wanted to drop you a brief note to say a big thank you to yourself and the band for playing at our 50th Party.

It was no mean feat to get so many Lotus staff actually on the dance floor! I thoroughly enjoyed the music and numerous people have come up to me since the event and said how much they enjoyed the band, so well done chaps. I hope to see you play in Norwich again soon and rest assured that if I have another event to organise, you'll be getting a phone call Thanks again for all your efforts."

Lotus Cars Ltd (50th Anniversary Party)

"Sorry it's taken so long to write and thank you, but better late than never eh?

We really can't thank you enough for the fantastic performance at our reception. We thought you were absolutely brilliant, and so did our guests. Everyone commented on how good you were, and wanted to know where we found you.

Also, we'd like to thank you for the way you handled the whole thing. Right from the start we were really happy with the way you managed the booking. Your friendly professionalism and helpfulness was really comforting.

You were really great fun to deal with and we were always totally confident about your contribution to our day, and you proved us right, we hand nothing to worry about. We wouldn't hesitate recommending you to anyone - in fact we'd probably go out of our way to persuade them to book you.

We also loved the fan club newsletters and bits and bobs that came through the door - they made us hoot. We will definitely be catching up with you at your gigs whenever we can, thanks again for everything."

Mr and Mrs Harrison (Wedding Reception)

"This is just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent entertainment that you provided at our May & Graduation Ball last month . The Hat Band went down extremely well, so much so that a number of students wanted to get on stage and join in (which they did, SORRY!!).

Overall the feedback we have had about the event has been very positive, however I would welcome any feedback, comments or suggestions from you as to how we could improve or change things for next year.

Thanks once again and I look forward to receiving any comments you may have and working with you again.

Suffolk College (May Ball)

"Just a quick line to say thanks very much for providing the sounds on Saturday night. The party was a great success and the guest of hour was totally overwhelmed by the whole thing, which we managed to keep a secret!

Thanks once again- I wont hesitate to recommend The Top Hat Band."

Sharon Hart (Birthday Party)

"A quick note to thank you and all of the members of the Top Hat Band for a great performance at our wedding at Clandon Park on 17th June.

They played a great set — skilfully constructed — in a challenging venue. The Band played a key part in the overwhelming success of the whole day, I'm just waiting for an excuse to need a band again!"
