Bangers & Anthems takes the Little Big Band to a bigger scale, with bigger production and even more wow factor. A full string and horn section, percussion, three vocalists and DJ come together for a set built around the dance floor.

The DJ sits at the heart of the performance, with the live musicians playing around and through the set. There is no pause between one and the other; strings, horns, percussion and vocals rise out of the music as the night moves, giving the whole performance the momentum of a club night with the presence of a live band.

The repertoire moves through club classics, dance, house, contemporary anthems and the records everyone knows when they hear the first few bars. An Ibiza edition takes that same idea to the White Isle, drawing on the tracks and sounds that have defined its dance floors across the decades.

Bangers & Anthems is available in three sizes, each performed to a professionally produced soundtrack.

• 13-piece: DJ, string quartet, 4 horns, percussion, 3 vocalists
• 17-piece: DJ, string octet, 4 horns, percussion, 3 vocalists
• 21-piece: DJ, string octet, 8 horns, percussion, 3 vocalists

Up to 90 minutes of performance. Smaller configurations are available through the Little Big Band, with other sizes available on request.

Bangers & Anthems is designed for large-scale celebrations, outdoor events, marquees, corporate parties, Christmas and summer events, and occasions where the dance floor is central to the evening.

With up to twenty-one musicians, the scale is part of the experience. Strings, horns, percussion, vocalists and DJ come together in a performance that has real presence on stage and creates an atmosphere to match the size of the occasion.

For events with Ibiza in mind, the set can take a different direction, drawing on club classics, house and dance music from across the decades, reimagined with the full live ensemble.

Bangers & Anthems is often the centrepiece of a full day of music. The atmosphere can begin with live strings or a laid-back Chill Out Set through the reception and dinner, before the full production takes over the dance floor and the DJ carries the party into the night.

With one musical team across the event, every part of the day can be shaped to flow naturally into the next. Different ensembles, different moods, but one musical direction throughout, with preferential rates available when multiple USO ensembles are booked together.
