Harry Potter Band

You probably didn’t even know that ‘Britpop Reunion‘ also perform as a Harry Potter band did you? We perform all three songs featured in The Goblet Of Fire film including Do The Hippogriff, Magic Works and This Is The Night as well as handling your live entertainment throughout the whole event. So that’s Harry Potter music plus amazing pop tunes sorted for the whole of your Harry Potter themed event. We even perform live at Harry Potter themed weddings too. Contact band leader Andy Starkey to check on price and availability of our live stage show for your wizarding event.

The only Harry Potter band to appear on stage with actual cast members.

Here we are with actual cast members live on stage with us performing “Do The Hippogriff” featuring Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley, brother of Ron Weasley), Jon Campling (Death Eater) & Chris Rithin (Dudley Dursley’s gang member) at a Harry Potter convention. There’s no other band on the planet with these kinds of Harry Potter credentials. Go on, check out the video below, it will make you smile. Just as we smiled all the way through performing it. What an amazing and memorable experience it was for guests, the band and the actors themselves. Dreams really can come true.

Re-enact the Yule Ball Dance at Hogwarts

Remember the magical Yule Ball dance from Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire. That scene were Harry Potter dances with Parvati Patil. Neville Longbottom is dancing with Ginny Weasley. Hermione Granger dances with Viktor Krum and Ron Weasley dances with…well no one because he doesn’t like his odd looking dress robes? Imagine recreating something like that and book our Harry Potter tribute band to perform at your Harry Potter themed event. Speaking of that dance, do you know the EXACT date of the dance? It’s 25th December 1994. Do you know who was at number one in the UK charts on that exact date? It was East 17 with ‘Stay Another Day’. Have a look at the rest of the top 10 on that date in the mid nineties.

What type of Harry Potter party are you having?

Are you getting married and need a Harry Potter wedding band? Are you throwing a Harry Potter party? Do you need to book a Harry Potter band for your corporate event? Maybe it’s a Harry Potter convention you’re organising and need live entertainment? We’re all massive Harry Potter fans which is why we set up this Harry Potter tribute experience for likeminded folks like yourself.

What was the name of the band in The Goblet Of Fire?

Pop Quiz hot shot, what’s the name of the band from the Yule Ball scenes in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Quick…Yes, you remember don’t you, it’s “The Weird Sisters”.

Those incredibly hairy guys that all the students and teachers dance along to midway through the Triwizard Tournament. Well you can call us The Weird Sisters tribute ‘The Weirdo Sisters’ while we’re at your party or event.

Myron Wagtail (Vocals) – Jarvis Cocker from Pulp.
Kirley Duke McCormack (Lead guitar) – Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead.

Or we can perform a splendid mix of pop hits from all decades including artists like Amy Winehouse, Stereophonics, Florence + The Machine, Chuck Berry, Kaiser Chiefs and more from our other decades repertoire. No matter what type of music you wan’t for your Wizards Event, we’ve got you covered.

You absolutely love Harry Potter and we do too.

Trust in a band that have such a passion for faithfully recreating the music of Harry Potter that we’ve been to The Making of Harry Potter at Warner Bros. Studios London on many occasions and have even visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Japan.

Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire band – Lets get dressed up

So get dressed up in your favourite house colours of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or Hufflepuff and dance like a Hippogriff. Put on your best witch and wizard costumes, grab your Nimbus 3000 broomstick and fly around the dance-floor. Go on a quest to find your goblin made sword of Gryffindor and boogie down like a unicorn. Put on your worst house elf pillow case or rags and dance by yourself. Dress up like your favourite death eaters Bellatrix Lestrange, Severus Snape or Lucius Malfoy and move your body like a hairy troll. Go full on evil as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named…(Oh go on then) Lord Voldemort (aka Tom Marvolo Riddle) and stamp your feet like a leprechaun. Then get ready for your Dementors kiss and shake your booty like a boggart in pain. Just don’t put on the Marvolo Gaunt Horcrux ring. Are you team Hogwarts, Beauxbatons or Durmstrang?

90’s Indie Wedding Band

Britpop = Indie Pop, so ‘Britpop Reunion‘ returned once again to The Guildhall, Lichfield, Staffordshire for a special event. This time to perform as a 90’s Indie Wedding Band for Luke & Matt. This is the second time we’ve performed for these awesome guys having played for them a few years ago in the exact same venue for Matt’s 40th 90’s birthday party band. The first time we gave them a Glastonbury 90’s Festival Band themed event. We performed music from Britpop & 90’s artists who have played at the internationally known Glastonbury festival over the years. If you’d like something similar at your chosen wedding venue across the UK and beyond then contact Andy Starkey now for a quote.

At this 90’s Indie Wedding Reception

Matt & Luke (Isn’t it funny how they have the same name as the main two guys from 80’s band ‘Bros’ eh) are huge 90’s fans and wanted something a little different to the normal same-old-same-old funk, soul, modern pop bands out there for their unique wedding reception. This time they chose our 90’s indie wedding band and added in our ‘Other Decades‘ option. Our 90’s package gave Matt & Luke all of their favourite 90’s cover band songs from Oasis, Blur, The Cure, James, Supergrass and more. Then our ‘Other Decades‘ option also gave their 150 guests amazing tunes from Amy Winehouse, Stereophonics, Florence + The Machine, Van Morrison, Arctic Monkeys, Chuck Berry, Kaiser Chiefs and more. The dance-floor was full the entire night, shapes were thrown up in the air, everyone had a good sing-along to our entire repertoire of “Don’t Look Back In Anger“, “Parklife“, “Friday I’m In Love” and much more.

Prior to our indie band performing live Matt & Luke had worked out an entire dance routine to a mash-up of the 1991 INXS track “Never Tear Us Apart” and “The World Is Not Enough” by Garbage from the 1999 James Bond film of the same name. This was a smash hit with everyone including ourselves and it started the night off brilliantly. So even they themselves covered songs from the start to the end of the nineteen nineties. Absolutely brilliant eh what a unique way to celebrate your love for each other.

Standard 90’s indie wedding band packages we provide our clients with

Two live performance sets of 90’s banging tunes (Or one long performance with no break which we usually recommend to clients)

These lovely guys had gotten married a few weeks before in Bath and so this was their full on wedding party back in their home city of Lichfield, Staffordshire. Having received their photographers photos a few days before the event they took advantage of our wedding projector hire option. As you will see their wedding photos displayed up on stage with us looked absolutely brilliant. They also took advantage of our evening photographer services as you can see from the below images gallery.

Below you can watch a video of previous 90’s Indie weddings receptions that our professional wedding band have performed at. Here is Natalie & Jamies 90’s wedding in a tipi. Just look at the amazing time everyone had with ‘Britpop Reunion‘ handling the live entertainment.

Here is Vlog style video of our experiences at Claire & James’s festival style wedding that they put together entirely themselves. You’d be surprised how much cheaper doing this is than hiring a proper wedding venue.

Being a Supergrass Fan

Andy Starkey, lead singer and bass player from Britpop Reunion has been a huge fan of Supergrass his whole life. He even remembers the first time he heard ‘Richard III’ on the radio

“It was about February 1997 and I was driving to my rehearsal studio that I had in Wolverhampton at the time. I was driving around the Cannock McDonalds islands towards Wedges Mills. I had BBC Radio One ‘The Evening Session’ on (presented by Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley) in my little Mini. The crummy Sony cassette car radio was doing its best to stay tuned into the song Richard III. I didn’t even know it was a Supergrass I was listening to”.

“I said to myself “Wow, this new Smashing Pumpkins song is amazing”. Then Steve says after the song finishes “And that was the new single from Supergrass”…..My mind was blown. This was a huge departure in sound for Supergrass from their debut album I Should Coco. I knew ‘In It For The Money’ was going to be something very special and different that I just had to own.”

Supergrass Memorabilia

Andy first saw Supergrass with The Bluetones supporting on Saturday 18th February 1995. As you will see below he still has the original poster that he “Borrowed” from off the wall in Rugeley Red Rose Theatre.

Throughout the years Andy saw Supergrass live on many, many more occasions. He picked up lots of great memorabilia including this very limited edition Chinese design tea towel.

Supergrass Tribute studio recording of Alright

Have a listen to our very own studio recording of Alright by Supergrass below. Can you believe it’s been streamed over 152,000 times? Thats got to mean it sounds super special right? You’ll find its a very close match to the original performed with all the fun and charm. We probably had as much fun recording it as Supergrass did back in the early 90’s.

Richard III
Sun Hits the Sky
Pumping on Your Stereo

What are the names of the members of Supergrass?

Gaz Coombes (Vocals / Guitar)
