Surrey function band Deelite combine a repertoire centred around 70s and 80s classics with a great-value shape-shifting lineup who can be big enough to fill an arena or shrink to fit a party in a shoebox. Low rates in the South East.
Deelite are the most flexible function band we’ve ever seen, able to fill the biggest hall or rock a shoe box without disturbing the neighbours. But a compact band doesn’t mean a small sound: they can offer breathtaking arrangements featuring percussion, layered keyboards and a real brass section. They use real audio playback to support their live sound and adjust to any venue size and budget, offering great value shows from a minimalist, gentle acoustic chill-out to a fully costumed theme set. The band can work as a three-piece, with two female lead vocals and one male vocal with percussion, keyboards and guitar, or add a live drummer to make a four-piece with more punch. They are happy to consider a request for a first dance or a special song free of charge.
The band are all highly experienced session musicians, working with or alongside Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse, Jamiroquai, Jools Holland, Steps, Busted, Lemar, Liberty X, The Honeyz, Boney M, Shapeshifters and Greg Lake, and have played at a huge number of events around the UK in the last five years (including weddings, parties and corporate functions for John Lewis, Halifax, Bupa and Lexus among a long list of others), as well as gigs in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Poland, Belgium and Egypt.

Shameen, Corporate Event, Chesham, March 2010The band were great, very accommodating even when we were running late with timing on our side. They were very flexible and that helps us greatly. I hope we get the opportunity to book them again next year if our conference is on again.

Claire , Wedding, Warwickshire, May 2009After booking ‘Deelite’ blindly (i.e. without prior knowledge of the band) I was thrilled with them! When they arrived at the venue, they were polite and friendly. The set they performed was great and everyone who was at our ball was up dancing – if only we had a bigger dance floor!! I would definitely recommend Deelite to anyone who wanted to book a party band for their event.

Terry , 60th Birthday Party, London, July 2009I booked Deelite Duo for my 60th birthday party in Wimbledon. The party was a great success in no small part due to the enthusiasm and musical expertise of both performers. Many of my guests commented on the excellence of the band. They arrived punctually and fitted in exactly with my requirements. I would be very happy to recommend Deelite Duo to any other potential clients either by email or phone.

Lesley , Private Party, Hertfordshire, October 2008Hi Alistair, just a quick email to let you know that the band DEELITE which performed at my 40th birthday party on Friday were fantastic, they were very professional, enthusiastic, and the music was perfect for the evening, everyone commented on how good they were, please pass on my thanks.

Sue , 50th B'day party, Essex, October 2008Just a brief note to say how pleased we were with Deelite at my husband’s 50th birthday party. It’s difficult to make a choice based on a website sound recording but they both looked the part and sounded great. They were very professional and efficient in setting up. Their choice of songs and music got everyone dancing, even my husband! I haven’t danced so much in one evening in years. Thanks.

Rachael and Lee , Wedding, Surrey, August 2008We hired Deelite for our wedding in August - they were a fantastic band and we were so happy that they made our wedding that extra bit special. The mix of songs got everyone dancing from the children to the grandparents!! The service was professional and friendly and I will keep them in mind for any future events we hold. So thankyou Deelite for making it a night to remember!! Thankyou mike for all your help booking the band, hope this is ok they really were great,

Victoria , Wedding, Kent, July 2008Hi Mike & Alistair, I just wanted to write on behalf of myself and my new husband to ask you to pass on our thanks to Deelite for our wedding on 11th July. The band were such amazing performers and had everyone on the dance floor, but not only that they were really lovely people too. We had a minor hitch with our first dance that our friend was supposed to be playing for us – he decided at the last minute that he didn’t want to! The band was brilliant though, helping us to choose something else and making suggestions and keeping me calm! I can’t thank them enough. I also wanted to say thank you to you both too for all your help. We won’t hesitate in recommending both Function Central and Deelite to all our friends and family. PS All the men at the wedding commented on how attractive the two female members of the band are – I thought they might want to know that!!

Duncan, Wedding, London, June 2008I am just writing to express my gratitude at the wonderful job you did for us at our wedding last week. Everyone in the band was a joy to watch - so enthusiastic and talented, and the way the two vocalists worked together was wonderful! All of our guests had wonderful things to say about you all, and I want to thank you for being so easy to work with and professional - you really made our wedding reception a complete success! Would not hesitate to book you again in the future!"
-
Jane , Wedding, Somerset, May 2008Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your performance at our wedding - everybody loved you! What a brilliant play-list - every song you chose had people up dancing! I especially loved the live saxophone - what a talented young man. I have already given your number to almost everyone at the wedding, and will definitely recommend you to anyone booking a band in the future!

Lucy, 60th Birthday Party, Surrey, September 2007Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at my mother's birthday party on Friday - she was really impressed with you and loved every song! You only had to look around the dance floor to see that everyone was having a brilliant time dancing the night away! We had many good comments about the band, most on how lovely and talented the two vocalists were, those impressive guitar solos, what a nice element the live saxophone was, the strength of the song choices, how the band were so friendly to everyone.....the list goes on and on....! Thank you for making the evening a success!

Trudy and Peter, Wedding, Petersfield, Hampshire, July 2007I was incredibly impressed with the standard of the performance on Saturday. As someone who books bands regularly for my job, I know what to expect and this band exceeded all my expectations and hopes. The band were wonderful - so lovely to deal with right from the moment of enquiry all the way through to the end of the evening. We had to book a smaller band due to the size of our venue not being able to cater for a fully live band - Deelite were definitely the right option. Although they were a small band, they more than made up for the lack of musicians with their extreme enthusiasm and they really put a lot of effort in on stage to make the show as exciting as possible. I was especially impressed by Rachael and Rachael, the two singers. They really did look as if they were having such fun up there, and that fun spread to the rest of us almost instantly! Thanks again for a great evening! I’m sure we will be seeing you again in the future!

Sgt Squire, Sergeants Mess, The Royal Yeomanry, Surrey, June 2007On behalf of the Mess, I would like to say a big thank you for Saturday night, the performance was exceptional. I had many comments remarking on how good you were, and it was good to see people up and dancing, the mess members are usually quite reserved early on in the evening so a good night was had by all, I will definitely bear you in mind next year, and with some better planning on my side your bigger band could attend. So once again thank you and may you have plenty of success in the in the future.
