Ione is backed by Ewan on bass, Callum on guitar, Joe on drums, Renes on keyboards, Becky on trumpet and Eve on saxophone. They all have CVs worthy of framing, and include some of these amazing achievements: first class honours music degrees; studies at the renowned British Institute of Modern Music, Canterbury Christchurch University, the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar; holding the ‘trumpet chair’ for major London musicals; recording for Hollywood movies like Maleficent 2; performances at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, Wembley, Royal Ascot, and Camden Assembly; features on Smooth FM, BBC Radio, Choice FM; performances at the Reading & Leeds Festival, Shindig Festival, Notting Hill Carnival, New Quay Festival; performances alongside Ronan Keating, Emeli Sande, the Brand New Heavies, James Taylor Quartet, Maceo Parker, and INEW RAE (an up and coming artist featured on Love Island and Emily In Paris); and performances on ITV for the Lionesses’s 2022 celebration party. And that’s just the tip of their monumental musical iceberg!

Motown Magic welcomes you to tailor the setlist for your big day. For a standard 2x60mins or 3x40mins performance you can select up to 32 songs from the band’s 350+ song repertoire, and the band will endeavour to accommodate all of your requests, given a month’s notice. For short notice bookings, you are still very welcome to send over your suggestions, and as always, the band will do their utmost to accommodate as many requests as possible. Motown Magic is also very happy to learn an ‘off the menu’ song request for you, for example, a first dance or your favourite song.

Upon booking, you will have a dedicated band manager as your point of contact to ensure the band is 100% on the same page as you well in advance of your event. Having this point of contact means you can count on excellent, fast, friendly, and warm communication at all times. It also means that come the big day every single crease will be ironed out and it will mean smooth sailing for both client and band alike.

All in all, Motown Magic’s band members are a very friendly and flexible bunch and take great pride in providing excellent musicianship and creating a really fun atmosphere wherever they go. The band has a big long list of songs spanning different genres and decades for you to pick from and can play complimentary playlist music (which you are welcome to tailor) before, in-between, and after live sets until curfew. The band can be on-site for up to 7 hours, or until midnight as standard. They are happy to accommodate early arrivals before 5pm and late stays after midnight if needed too. The band is also able to provide a band member DJ-ing should you wish to have a live DJ before, between, or after band sets. The band brings a full PA and lighting rig with them wherever they go, so all you need to do is book the band and you can tick the entertainment off your to-do list in one fell swoop because Motown Magic will have you covered.

If you've any questions about the band and what they offer please don't hesitate, we’ll be more than happy to help.
