Brightside

The act

Brightside suits couples who want one booking to move from a smaller ceremony line up into a full wedding band at the reception. The Newcastle group works as four or five players, with sax or keys available, while a duo or trio can cover the earlier part of the day. Their repertoire mixes modern country with Australian favourites and pop singalongs, from Beautiful Crazy and Chicken Fried to April Sun in Cuba, Get Lucky and Footloose. Special song requests are welcome, and music can continue between live sets so the room keeps its momentum. The strongest option is that smaller ceremony and canape performance flowing into the larger band once the reception begins.

Good to know

What to expect

They arrive with everything: PA, instruments, leads, microphones, the lot. Sets usually run 40 to 60 minutes. If there's a song that has to be played, ask and they'll work it in, and they'll also sort the music that plays between sets so the room doesn't go flat. If you're putting together a run sheet, they'll help with that too.

On the day

Power, and a performance space of roughly two metres by three at minimum. If the event is outdoors, cover in case the weather turns. Travel over two hours means accommodation gets built into the quote, and meals for the band members are needed on the day.

Set List

A wide list with a country streak running through it. Modern country brings A Bar Song (Tipsy), Beautiful Crazy, Beer Never Broke My Heart, Bad As I Used to Be, Chicken Fried, Boot Scootin' Boogie, Days Go By, The Gambler and Boys From the Bush. The Australian songs are strong: On My Mind by Powderfinger, April Sun in Cuba, Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Better Days, Better Be Home Soon and Eagle Rock. Then the singalong end, with Adventure of a Lifetime, Ain't It Fun, All Star, All Night Long, Am I Wrong, As It Was, Blame It on Me, Budapest, Brown Eyed Girl, Cake by the Ocean, Can't Feel My Face, Can't Stop the Feeling, Castle on the Hill, Chocolate, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Dancing in the Moonlight, Don't Stop Believin', Dreams, Drive, Fast Car, Footloose, Galway Girl, Get Lucky, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Girlfriend, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Blue Moon, The Anthem, All For You, The Boys of Summer and Lover (You Don't Treat Me No Good). It keeps going well past there.

Performance options

They work as a 4 or 5 piece, with the option of adding sax or keys. And if you book the band for a reception, a duo or trio version can cover the ceremony and canapes earlier in the day.
