Clear lead singing and fully live versions of classic and current party songs form the heart of First Summer. At a wedding, an acoustic duo can cover quieter guest arrivals or dinner before the full five member band begins the party material. The repertoire holds more than one hundred songs, with artists ranging from Paul Simon and Toto to Bruno Mars and Beyoncé. A chosen song can be learned with enough notice, especially for a first dance or a dance between father and daughter. The ability to perform quieter acoustic music and then expand into a complete live band is the key strength.
Watch First Summer perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

They arrive with enough time to set up and sound check properly, and they're ready to go at least half an hour before they're due to start, which takes one worry off your run sheet. The repertoire is over 100 songs, popular and classic, and they'll adjust what they play to suit what you've told them about the night. Flexible is the word they use, and in practice it means the set gets built around your event rather than the other way round.
The band arrive with a complete setup of their own: professional Bose sound gear and lights. The system handles audiences of up to 400 comfortably. Minimum space is 5m wide by 4m deep, though they'll tell you themselves they've squeezed into smaller corners before and made it work.
Think Bruno Mars, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, Meghan Trainor, Maroon 5, Paul Simon, DNCE, Toto, Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind & Fire, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Daft Punk, Katy Perry, CeeLo Green, Lady Gaga, Bon Jovi and Walk the Moon. That's a spread designed to cover a room where the ages run from 20 to 70. And if the song you want isn't in there, they'll learn it, given enough notice. That comes up most often with a first dance or a father daughter dance.
Up to six sets across an evening, which is enough to cover a whole night without you needing anything else. Two of those can come from the acoustic duo, playing quieter background music while guests arrive and through dinner. Then the full five piece takes over for the party music once people are ready to dance.
