Bellissima Party Band
The Bellissima party band has been entertaining for over 4 years now. Last year was our most successful yet with gigs in Moscow, Beirut, Italy and Switzerland to name but a few. The band was also cherry picked by T.V channel E4 to appear as the house band for E4’s school of performing arts.
The Bellissima party band is made up of a core group of five musicians. Belle takes the lead vocals, with the rest of the band embellishing the sound with tight vocal harmonies. The band effortlessly skips between the musical genres, exposing the audience to a seamless performance of classic hits new and old. This dynamic team have mastered the art of engaging an audience and holding them firmly in the palm of their hands.
For larger events the band can be augmented to anything up to a 9 piece band including brass, percussion and lead vocalists. This is a highly adaptable band and can perform to suit most occasions.
Bellissima has also invested over £15,000 in its own sound and lighting systems which can be hired with or without the band.
