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.

Did you know that the Harry Potter Band ‘The Weird Sisters’ from Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire are actually real life famous musicians themselves?

No, they really are, some are a little more easy to spot than others.

List of ‘The Weird Sister’ band members and their proper bands:

Myron Wagtail (Vocals) – Jarvis Cocker from Pulp.
Kirley Duke McCormack (Lead guitar) – Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead.
Donaghan Tremlett (Bass guitar) – Steve Mackey from Pulp.
Orsino Thruston (Drums) – Phil Selway from Radiohead.
Heathcote Barbary (Rhythm guitarist) – Jason Buckle from All Seeing I.

We can perform all three songs at your Harry Potter party originally performed by ‘The Weird Sisters’ including

As The Goblet Of Fire was set in the 90’s we can either perform a fantastic selection of 1990’s pop hits from Robbie Williams, Oasis, Blur, Alanis Morissette, James, Pulp, Supergrass and more from our 90’s tribute band repertoire. 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?

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.
