Themed Bands
Music Made for the Theme
A themed ensemble brings the music, styling and performance together around a single creative direction. The repertoire is selected for the occasion, with bespoke arrangements and musicians styled to complement the theme.
Three established themes are available: Best of British, the Bond Songbook and Bollywood. Each can be performed by live strings and scaled to suit the event, with the option to expand into a larger ensemble.
From a distinctly British soundtrack to the glamour of Bond or the colour and energy of Bollywood, each theme is designed to feel part of the event rather than simply added to it.

The Themes
Best of British
A celebration of British music, bringing together some of the country’s most iconic artists, The Beatles, Queen, Elgar, Oasis and Elton John, alongside instantly recognisable British film scores and television themes.
Designed for the stage, the show combines live strings with a distinctly British visual identity and can be expanded into a larger ensemble for greater impact.
It works particularly well for British-themed celebrations, international events looking to showcase British music and culture, corporate events, gala dinners and major occasions where the entertainment needs to make an entrance.
The Bond Songbook
A journey through the unmistakable sound of James Bond, from the iconic themes and sweeping strings to the jazz, soul and cinematic influences that have defined the films for generations.
Built around live strings, the ensemble can create an elegant backdrop for a drinks reception or dinner before building into the bigger, more dramatic Bond themes as the evening develops. Saxophone, percussion and vocals can be added for a fuller line-up.
Perfect for Bond-themed events, black-tie evenings, gala dinners, corporate celebrations and sophisticated drinks receptions.
Bollywood
A vibrant celebration of Bollywood and Hindi film music, combining live strings with a professionally produced soundtrack to bring the romance, colour and energy of the music to life.
The ensemble can provide an elegant backdrop for a drinks reception or dinner, or build into something more energetic as the celebration develops. Live tabla or Indian flute can be added for an even richer sound and a stronger live presence.
Perfect for weddings, private celebrations, corporate events and cultural occasions, with the line-up tailored to suit the setting and scale of the event.
The Occasions
Themed Ensembles are designed for events where the music is part of the creative direction, from brand activations, launches and awards evenings to weddings, private celebrations and themed events.
The repertoire, line-up and visual presentation can all be tailored to complement the setting, whether that means bringing a distinctly British identity to an international event, creating the glamour of Bond for a black-tie evening, or adding the colour and energy of Bollywood to a celebration.
For corporate and branded events, we can take the concept further, creating bespoke arrangements and styling the performance around the brand or creative brief.

We highly recommend USO!"
Music Throughout Your Event
A themed set is usually one part of a larger booking, the moment the theme lands, with the rest of the evening built around it. Because it is one team across the whole event, the themed performance sits inside a single musical arc rather than arriving as a separate act.
Often booked alongside:
Chill Out Set · Little Big Band · DJ Sets & DJ Live
