MASONIC LADIES’
FESTIVAL WEEKENDS
with the superb band HEADLINES featuring Jon Scott on piano and
keyboard These events now account for most of
the band’s weekend work during the year. Their wealth of experience helps them
to know what music their audiences want, when they want it. Rather than
working to a fixed list of songs, each one is chosen from an extensive
collection to suit the moment and echo the flow of the evening. Bookings
include over 16 hotels in Bournemouth alone with many festivals in each. Also
Fareham, Portsmouth, Brighton, Eastbourne, Sheerness, Reading, Cheltenham,
Swindon and Tewkesbury. SERVICES... Jon
can supply either of the following:
A TYPICAL
EXAMPLE OF THE MUSIC ITINERARY... The live piano music commences from the
entry of the President and his Lady to the banqueting hall until
approximately the end of the dessert course after which recorded music is
played at an appropriate volume. Jon remains in attendance to monitor this so
the music can be stopped as announcements need to be made, and then returns
to the piano to accompany the formal songs such as the Masonic Grace, the
National Anthem and Ladies’ Song as required. Jon has sung the Ladies’ Song
before and is willing to do so should you wish. During the
meal the President’s Lady is offered a short list of appropriate songs to
choose from for her and her partner’s formal start to the dancing. Jon then retires to get changed and take
a break and returns with the band for the dance section which usually takes
place between 10.00pm and 1.00am*. Music
throughout the evening can include traditional waltzes and quicksteps,
through to recent chart hits, with the main emphasis on creating a memorable
party atmosphere to fill the floor. As things warm up this is enhanced by the
band’s dynamic disco lighting display. The
evening is rounded off with Auld Lang Syne and For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow
plus three cheers for all the Ladies, followed by Land of Hope and Glory, or
the National Anthem if not played at the conclusion of the meal. All
breaks can be filled by CD quality background music as necessary, and the
evening is fully coordinated with the Toastmaster, who is welcome to make use
of the PA for announcements and the raffle. *
The band performs for a maximum total playing time of two and a half hours
with breaks of not less than 15 minutes unless otherwise arranged in advance.
A break is an ideal time to hold a raffle or auction. If dancing commences
late the band often forego one of their breaks and perform two longer sets. PLEASE CONTACT JON FOR ANY SPECIFIC MUSIC
