Band for University

Welcome to the Red Stripe Band’s home on the web.

If you want something different to lift your Student Union or Fresher’s Ball or event read on...

There is a good reason why people refer to us as “Jools Holland on speed”

We put on a completely UNIQUE show – you won’t hear any Abba or Robbie Williams - just good time party music!

The show is delivered, just like Jools Holland, using foot stomping boogie woogie, swing, jive, ska and rock and roll which makes for a truly memorable event.

We have been playing at Uni events for over ten years including Reading, Bristol, Birmingham and UCL to name but a few.

We have developed a hugely entertaining show including on and off stage antics. We have a lovely baritone sax player in the shape of Erica Clarke – you can’t keep her on the stage once she starts to blow her horn!
Martin Gray on tenor sax will also come among the dancers!
You will also see Red Stripe – strapping on his Keytar to dance with the rest – he can’t be left out
The lovely Gemma Nelson (Stars in Their Eyes finalist) on vocals will also be getting down.

We have inserted a little video clip on each page of this site but there are many more video clips, pictures and sound bites on our sites as follows:

Practical Info.

We will liaise with your production team and come completely self contained if required. Please provide as much information as possible with your enquiry.
As a guide our prices range from £1,200-£2,500 which depends on a number of variables such as the day of the week, the time of the year, the travelling distance from London (where we are based) and the size of the band so PLEASE give us all that information below and we will get back to you with a precise figure.

Be seeing you...
