You can tell that Autumn is drawing ever closer. It’s getting darker at night, there’s a distinct chill in the air and Live Music Management are recieving large numbers of enquiries from student Ents managers looking for quality bands and DJ’s for Freshers events.

Live Music Management have a long history of supplying Universities with entertainment and a large roster of party bands and DJs that suit this kind of event.A popular choice for many University Freshers events in the past few years has been Bandeoke aka Rockaoke or Live Band Karaoke and Live Music Management are well placed to supply the right kind of Bandeoke band for your event at the right price. LMM were the originators of the Live Karaoke craze in the UK starting the first bands almost ten years ago. We continue to maintain the highest standards with young, high energy bands based throughout the UK able to play to and entertain a student crowd. Bandeoke has proved a massive ice breaker at Freshers events allowing students the opportunity to take to the stage and show off their talents in front of their new friends.

Besides Bandeoke Live Music Management have an enormous range of party bands of all descriptions and, of course, we are the largest DJ agency in the UK with DJ’s based in every major town. Give Live Music Management a call for your Freshers events entertainment needs on 08454 900515.

Last Minute Bookings For Freshers Balls

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011


For over twelve years LMM have been supplying DJs and bands (and even peripherals like stilt walkers,rodeo bulls,hot tubs and snow machines) to student nights and university balls throughout the UK.

As the weather turns distinctly Autumnal thousands of students are making last minute preparations for the next University year. At Live Music Management we have a vast amount of experience supplying live acts suitable for University Balls and student nights . Some of the biggest student nights in the UK are hosted by an LMM DJ and our live bands have played at most of the major University Balls over the years.

For our major high street clients like Walkabout and Bar Risa the next six weeks will see them becoming the  place to be for a new generation of students . We are currently working alongside the managers of these venues to work out which nights need which DJs .

For University Ents bookers LMM is a reliable and trustworthy source for DJs and bands and we are happy to talk to you about the requirements for your one off event or weekly night.

I will finish today’s blog with comments from the Entertainment Manager at Aberstwyth University about Lucas (one of LMMs party bands and  featured on the video above.)

“Great set of lads who really know how to get the crowd going. They’ve almost become our resident band we ask them back that often!
Can’t recommend them highly enough.

-Steve, Aberstwyth Uni”

Nottingham University Cripps Hall Ball

Thursday, June 16th, 2011
Nat King Bing At The Cripps Hall University Ball

Nat King Bing At The Cripps Hall University Ball

A great big thank you to the ladies and gentlemen of Nottingham University Cripps Hall for their gracious hospitality last night at their Uni Ball.

LMM were there with Nat King Bing who had been booked to provide some walk on music whilst the student awards were given out followed by their set of rock and pop covers played in a jazz style.

The Cripps Hall ball was a beautiful,stylish affair with everyone in evening dress and looking their absolute best.

It was held at Colwick Hall Hotel on Racecourse Road which advertises itself as Nottinghams best kept secret.Certainly,and despite having spent a great deal of time in the Nottinghamshire area with friends and family,I had never heard of it before.

Colwick Hall is a  fantastic venue.A grand old country house hotel on the banks of a lilly pad lake it was a splendid setting for a Summers evening of good food,great company and jazz swing music.

The students took to the dancefloor to dance with partners which is something only jazz swing music really encourages and with the black tie affair it seemed appropriate to hear the band playing Sex Is On Fire and Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor in a jazz style.There may even have been a couple of proper salsa dancers amongst the students because we saw some great moves during the Latino version of The Killers “Somebody Told Me.”

Anyway it was a great night last night..hope all the Cripps Hall chaps and chapesses enjoyed it.Thanks again to Carl and the Cripps Hall gang for using LMM and for booking Nat King Bing.
