Dunk Tank

BLOWUP are a versatile four piece band specialising in songs from the 50s to the present; Elvis to Robbie, Beatles to Oasis, Monkees to Madness alongside 70s funk, 60s soul, Britpop and much, much more.

Described by a recent satisfied customer as “ the best band we’ve ever seen here,” they attract rave responses wherever they play. Testament to the fact that Kelvin, Stewart, Steve and Dave have vast experience in the music industry, working alongside many top names including Desmond Dekker, Steve Marriott, Bad Manners, Dodgy, Bluetones and Frank Bruno!!!

Stewart and Kelvin also performed in 70s tribute band “The Ballroom Blitz Kids” while Dave played in top covers bands "City Heat" and "Backin' Time" both here and abroad.

The band usually perform for two hours in either 2 or 3 sets, and can easily adapt to suit most occasions (i.e.: 60s theme night etc). They have their own PA and lighting, and can provide additional music on CD or tape before, after and in between sets.Blow-Up make beautiful music with just four drums, three voices, two guitars, one bass, and some additional keyboards; all without the aid of a safety net.

 

Venues Played include:

 Tower Bridge, Blenheim Palace,  Richmond Park, Centre Stage Butlins, Premier Lodge Hotel, Ramada Jarvis Hotel

Recent Corporate Clients include:

 BT Rolatruc Ltd,  Ashton Marriott Acc (Bristol),  Eastway Care Ltd, Explore Travel

All of Blow Up, Thank you for a fantastic show at our wedding on 12th August. The dance floor was full from start to finish and everybody has said how great you were! We won't hesitate to recommend you to anybody in the future. Your mix of songs was spot on and everybody danced loads - even Anna's Granny (but not during I Predict A Riot!) Thanks again and best of luck for the future.

Kind regards,

Ben + Anna

Thanks again for doing a blinding job on Saturday night. Your choice of songs hit the mark exactly and you played really well. Your enthusiasm was infectious and it's no wonder you got rave reviews from everybody there! I transferred the money online yesterday - it should have gone in to your account instantly.

Cheers,

Alan

Hi Stewart,

Currently basking in the sunshine of Mauritius on honeymoon (hard life!), but just wanted to thank you and the guys for a fabulous night at our wedding reception last Saturday.

Loads of people commented on how good you were, and rest assured we will be recommending you to our friends in the future!

Many thanks again.

Hi Stewart

A huge thank you for providing us with one remarkable night on 27.5.06
with your superb performance. You did blow our minds! Your skills
were superb at entertaining our guests and yes I did stumble on the
dance floor for every single track! Friends have emailed me to
complain of aching calves all week!

You did come recommended but still managed to exceed our expectations
and we have received so many positive comments from guests and the
hotel about your band.

I know Nick has already emailed you whilst on honeymoon (sad git but I
dont know whether that reflects on me!) to thank you for your
excellent contributin to our day.

If possible could you please help our blurred memories (not sure what
caused that!) and provide us with your play list. We want to collect
all the tunes you played to create a disc of memories for the years to
come.

Cheers!

Kim
