SANDY VINE & The Midnights


 

SANDY VINE and The Midnights have been delighting corporate audiences, festival and dance hall crowds with their party dance music for over 15 years.

Their nostalgia-influenced sound brings back the best memories of the 1950's to the 1990's, as well as the Top 40 hits of today.

Sandy Vine's long-time experience in leading this tight and terrific dance band also helps to make the event a great success. He judges the mood of a dance crowd like a seasoned professional should - just the right mixture of classic party fast tunes as well as those romantic slow songs to which all couples love to sway.

The volume of the group is perfect - soft enough to enjoy a conversation at the table, but just intense enough to create energy on the dance floor. And asking for song requests is never a problem. The band will gladly play any song request that they know as a group.

If you love to dance, then squeeze onto the dance floor - Sandy Vine and The Midnights will keep you and your guests moving the whole night long!

Some commonly asked questions answered by Sandy Vine :

 

What is the instrumentation of your band?

The band recommended for corporate events, dances and weddings consists of 5 members with the following instrumentation: keyboardist, two guitarists, drummer and female vocalist. Each male band member sings and our female vocalist doubles on auxiliary percussion. If required, we can also add a sax player and/or a Latin percussionist giving you a choice of a 5 to 7 member group.

What styles of music do you play?

We take pride in being able to provide music for almost every age group at any particular function, so if you are looking for variety, you'll be making an excellent choice. We perform material that is in the Top 40 chart of today, right back to the best dance hits from the 1950's to the 90's. We also perform swing styles and ballroom music where requested. Take a look at our songlists here on this page. They are constantly being updated with new material. If there is something that you require that is not on these particular lists, please ask. We are very experienced and over the years have performed many songs - there may be something that we have done before that may not be on the list.
 

---

Do you take requests?

Of course - in fact, we encourage it! There is nothing more satisfying to us than being able to belt out a request that fills the dance floor. If we don't know a particular request, then we'll at least try to perform something along the same style or from the same artist.
 

---

How long do you play? How many breaks do you take?

Usually, clients will book a four hour block of time for the dance portion of an evening. (eg. 9pm-1am, 8pm-12am) Let's assume that you hire the band to perform between 9pm and 1 am:

- 9pm-11pm NON STOP set
- 11-11:30 break (we provide background CD music)
- 11:30- 1am NON STOP set

"NON STOP" music means that we perform songs seamlessly- one into another so that the dance floor is always moving. No awkward pauses - no idle chatter - just lots of dance music! You are not limited to a four hour block by any means. Music is available through dinner and the cocktail hour if needed. If preferred, the entire band can be hired to perform music for dancing through the dinner hour. We can customize an evening of music based on your specific requirements.
 

---

How does the band dress?

Some events require us to dress in black tie. Others may assume a more business-casual approach (eg. all black suit or black shirt and slacks). Yet other more casual events may prefer us in jeans and loud Hawaiian shirts.

Be ASSURED that the band will be dressed appropriately for your event. K&M Productions will confirm all of these details when you book our band with them.

It's not going to be too loud, is it?

One of our strengths is that we don't have to play loud to make it sound great. We carry a state-of-the-art sound system that stresses clarity - not volume. We run it at just the right volume for the dance floor so that guests can "feel" a part of the music, but can still carry a normal conversation at their tables. More often than not, you will tell us to turn up the volume before you have to tell us to turn it down. (That's not to say that we can't crank it up when you need us to...)
