Harjinder and Rhea are the most excited couple we have seen in a very long time, it was great to see that they had left their nerves at home and bought their best dancing shoes with them!

The amazing choice of decor, more than made up for the wet weather on this Sunday at the Brewery which is historic grade 2 listed venue situated in the centre of London’s 18th century beer making empire. Thats enough history for now…back to this wonderful wedding, where Harj and Rhea opened the evenings dancing with their first dance as husband and wife:

 The guests were just as eager as the couple to show off their best moves on the dancefloor to the sound of DJ Tony Patti, who you may be more familiar with if you tune in to Sunrise Radio. A delicious 3 course dinner was laid on by Premier Rouge and so once everyone was fueled up it was back to the dancefloor to party right into the early hours!

This weekend started at the luxurious Beaumont House in Windsor. The sound of our drums was very entertaining for some but to others (hotel guests) it must have been a very loud alarm clock, our way of saying ‘Good Morning!’ This event was managed by Amore Weddings; we particularly liked the fantastic choice of decor; look at the attention to detail:

The groom Nitin, arrived on a beautiful white horse and as we escorted him to meet the bride’s family for the ‘milni’ we saw more dance moves than I’ve  seen in a Bollywood movie! It was a great start to the day, to see all these lovely people having lots of fun so early in the morning. After breakfast the guests took their seats for the start of the wedding ceremony, which took place in this serene looking mandap. The bride and groom look very calm, sat opposite each other while the Pandit ji commences some prayers. A beautiful first event of April!

Saturday’s fun finished up in Finsbury Town Hall at the wedding reception of Helen and Gurpreet.

We had the pleasure of entertaining two fantastic families on one big dance floor.  Lots of people smiling and having a great time, what a great party to celebrate this lovely couple!  Delicious food by Sapna Caterers.

The middle of our Saturday took us to the home of English Rugby, Twickenham Stadium, for what was a beautifully laid out reception in the Rose suite for Sukhvinder and Hardeep. Take a look at the attention to detail on these sweets boxes laid out by the event caterers ‘VIP Lounge’:

DD brought in the newly weds in the ‘Grand Entrance’ along with the friends and family who were dancing and clapping along. This was shortly followed with Sukhy and Hardeep’s first dance as man and wife, after which DJ Narry (Calibar Roadshow) opened the dancefloor to begin the celebrations!

When Drummers Delight are requested to travel to relatively remote locations, all possible satellite navigation devices are employed to ensure out prompt and safe arrival:

The one and a bit hours drive to Swindon during sunrise was quite relaxing as most people were probably snoozing at 6.30 on Saturday morning. However, not this house:

If you recognize this house, this means you were woken up to the sound of DD, banging away at the drums to bring out the gleaming groom on what was the start of his big day!

2012 kicked off with a big bang of Drummers Delight at the Copthorne Hotel, Slough. The crowd were raring to go; as we entered the wonderfully decorated reception suite the family danced all the way up to the cake table, where the happy couple took their positions. After some delicious starters courtesy of Passage to India catering, the bride and groom were in the spotlight to enjoy their first dance of marriage:

Our party performance, saw the dancefloor fill up very quickly as celebrations for the Ritu and Manraj commenced.

A fantastic first wedding of the year for DD!

If you were checking-in at the Radisson Edwardian Heathrow on Saturday morning and heard very loud drums and saw a huge crowd of people looking bright and vibrant, dancing their feet off, then you were at the wedding of Risha and Shaileen!

It was so enjoyable to watch friends and families full of energy so early in the morning, they definitely had eaten their Weetabix! No one was shy to show off their best moves in the hotel reception as we escorted Shaileen into the County Suite where the Mandap Ceremony took place. Shortly after the grand entrance Shaileen was joined by the amazing looking bride Risha and as the saying goes….they lived happily ever after!

Firstly, well done to everyone doing a fantastic job of taking part in ‘Movember’. Drummers Delight are not new to the concept of sprouting moustache’s, as all year round you will find us grooming our beards in preparation to entertain the masses.

This weekend took us to Painshill Park which is a carefully restored 18th century landscape park in the heart of Cobham, Surrey. It was great to bring the grooms friends and family through the gardens and watch everyone show off their best moves to the beat of our drums.

This was followed by a tranquil Hindu wedding ceremony led by the Priest. The bride and groom are shown presenting each other with garlands, they looked absolutely great together!

Entertainment was provided by none other than…

A very special wedding!

Drummers Delight went on a journey through the country lanes of Warwickshire to get to the Forest of Arden resort last weekend. Although the weather was on the wet side it didnt stop the guests enjoying the moment when the lovely couple made their grand entrance. After some delicious starters courtesy of Pakwaan catering, the couple took to the dancefloor and took part in their first dance.

Once the guests had fueled themselves on dinner and plenty of fluids, we performed for the second time and ensured there wasnt an inch of the dance floor empty. A great party and overall a wonderful wedding!

Just picked out a picture from the DD archive. This is a picture from the Xray scanner at the Airport in Marbella, where we spent 3 days performing at a wedding.

This weekend we were performing in a traditional mansion in Wokefield Park, a Championship golf course on the outskirts of Reading. The Grand entrance started from outside the main house and went into the banqueting area, which you can see below.

The bride and groom looked stunning, take a look as they enjoy their first dance of married life.

From there it was over to Bob and Sam better known as Motion Music to entertain the guests, and as always what a fabulous job they did!

Initially I wasn’t sure if I was seeing double, but after blinking a couple of times I was sure I could clearly see two very adorable handsome looking young chaps, who are very possibly the future Drummers Delight duo.

Their first practice has gone very well: they come dressed in matching costumes and they have a perfectly  synchronized performance:

Watch out! These boys will be playing drums at a wedding near you!

After driving through the maze that is central London, we made our way to One London Wall, for this lavish reception. Take a look at this magnificent cake: After a delicious 3 course dinner provided by ‘Indus’ Catering, the couple took to the floor for their first dance shortly followed by our ‘Start The Night’ performance.

Then it was over to ‘Nav Mischeif’ spinning the tunes keeping the crowd laughing, smiling and simply having a great time!

Venue: Plaisterer’s Hall, One London Wall. Catering: Indus. DJ’s: Nav Mischeif.

Bearwood college is an impressive Victorian mansion,situated in berkshire. The wedding reception took place in the lovely dinning area which was transformed into a wedding party setting with an intimate atmosphere.

The drums echoed all the way through the college and the cheers of the crowd when the bride and groom entered created an awesome and euphoric energy!

Catering: Bespoke Banqueting. DJ’s: Motion Music.

This morning we went to Croydon to give what Drummers Delight call an ‘Alarm Clock’ performance ie. an early morning bharat entrance involving friends and family waking up to dancing, clapping, laughter and smiling for the cameras.

We were pleased to know the guests had kept up their energy for our evening performance. DJ Taj kept the crowd entertained for the rest of the night and had the crowd doing the classic ‘Rail Gaddi’ around the whole venue. There was also a Boys vs Girl dance competition which generated lots of laughter. A fantastic party.

DJ’s: Karizma Roadshow.

Today we escorted Ash and his family and friends into Ealng Gurdwara for the Anand Karaj part of Ash’s wedding.

We were very impressed by the fanatastic Ambassador car  Ash arrived in at Ealing gurdwara. With a variety of sounds of the horn of the car, we felt like we had been taken all the way back to Punjab!

This weekend involved a lot of driving. First stop in the Docklands to the Elite Banqueting suite, which is situated near the vast looking Excel Centre.

We were honored to be joined a UK Bhangra legend Premi, who did a live performance including “Oh Tina Oh Tina” which has now become a bhangra anthem!

DJ’s: Mandeep (DJ Apollo), Calibar roadshow.

Slough centre was marvelously decorated today for the wedding of Shibdeep and Inderpal.

DJ Sam and MC Chana, better known as Motion Music, setup a fabulous sound, light and visual show with screens playing videos to the music in realtime! As usual they did a grand job of keeping the crowd dancing and left them saying the phrase that we all know too well which is said at the end of most parties…”One more”!

A wedding that is very close to home for Drummers Delight.

This was an intimate wedding, taking place at the family residence in a beautifully decorated marquee. It was great to see absolutely everyone getting involved in the dancing fun that kept everyone laughing and having a great time.

It seems that at todays bookings, the crowds were full of energy, is it something in the air? The crowd eagerly requested for another round of drumming which we were pleased to give. Overall a great party!

Another entertainment packed wedding at the lovely Ascot racecourse today. The guests enjoyed the drinks reception whilst they listened to the sound of dhol and brass from the fantastic Ronka Mela Baja:

The bride and groom arrived to the venue on a carriage with two beautiful white Shire horses. Drummers Delight started the ‘Grand entrance’ bringing in the couple along with some family, who had lots of energy all the way to the dancefloor. I remember them completely surrounding the cake table.

If this wasnt enough already, there followed a live PA by Sukhshinder Shinda.

Shinda performed some of his greatest tracks including ‘Khushian’, ‘Wanga’ and ‘Aao Giddah’. Shinda truly rocked the dancefloor, as you can see its hard to find any empty space!

DJ’s : Calibar Roadshow, DJ Indy. Catering: Premier Rouge

I dont think we have ever seen so many people join in the Grand Entrance! I remember being completely surrounded by family and friends as we walked from the entrance to the cake table. It was fantastic to see so many people smiling and having a great time: absolutely marvellous!

After the cutting of the cake, the bridge and bridegroom took to the centre of the floor to share their first dance as husband and wife, aaah!

Venue: Metropolitan Sport Club, Chigwell. Entertainment: H2 Roadshow.

The audience cheered and clapped along as Drummers Delight along with Dave ‘Bagpipes’ Brooks, escorted the lovely couple into the Fairlop Waters wedding marquee.

Take a look at the amazing decor which was done by Nuchna Roadshow. Entertainment was also done by DJ Raj from Nuchna, who did a grand job of keeping the crowd glued to the dancefloor. He plays a cracking selection of music, we particularly admire his old school bhangra set, he never fails to please!

Wedding videography has come along way since the old VHS, block like camera which would require two people to place onto the cameraman’s shoulder!

This wedding in Slough Centre made use of a camera fixed to a crane which you can see on the right of the picture, to capture all the special wedding moments: very impressive.

Entertainment: DJ Jatty, Calibar Roadshow.

DJ Rajeev from Kudos Music, keeping up the party atmosphere in Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.

While you wait for Strictly Come Dancing to return to your TV screens in Autumn, Drummers Delight have made their own version of the competition to entertain you!

The only difference is, there are no rehearsals only improvisation, it takes place in the middle of a dancefloor at a wedding and we judge everyone to be a winner!

Venue: The Grove, Watford. Entertainment: Calibar Roadshow. Catering: Ragamama.

This Sunday, Drummers Delight travelled up the M1 to The Goosedale Banqueting Hall in Nottingham.

Goosedale is a historic landmark set within over 100 acres of pure countryside. When we parked up we set our eyes on what was some breath-taking views of Nottinghamshire. Music was provided by DJ DIPS (producer of ‘Gera Deh Deh’ featuring Miss Pooja) from Kudos Music. The crowd were definitely not shy to get involved in “Start The Night” performance and they kept the dancefloor packed out all evening: a great party!

PS: Can you spot Mr Amrit from Karizma Roadshow in the crowd?

It was absolutely roasting on this warm Saturday afternoon reception in Chigwell.

Entertainment was provided by Massacre Sounds DJ’s, who did a fantastic job!

There’s always something new at every wedding we perform at. This Sunday evening, we were in Nottingham where we saw the use of an LED dancefloor!

And what is that?…I hear you ask… The dance floor has built in twinkling LED lights which flash in different patterns and sequences, which adds a fantastic visual attraction

This weekend saw us performing at Riverside banqueting for the second time this year for Taj from Northern Lights. Djing provided by the very lively Mr Jags Klimax and furthermore there was live entertainment from Mangi Mahal. It was a pleasure to be part of this all star line up, which kept the party spirit live and kicking all night long.

This is the first time Drummers Delight have performed here, at what is a historic landmark built by Ewan Christian in 1870. This former St Marks Church is an architectural masterpiece which was re-opened in 2005 as ‘The Empire’.

The interior conveys a lofty and spacious room with an amazing height of 53′…..this truly allowed our drums to echo and rumble through the building to create an extravagant atmosphere when bringing in the happy couple and when performing alongside DJ Jags Klimax.

If you take a look at one of the older posts, you’ll see the adventure we faced the last time we came to this same venue. However, we arrived safe and sound and there wasn’t an orange van in sight!

Entertainment by ‘Cloud 9′ Djs and the delicous food was provided by Sukhdev’s catering.

Saturday night bought drummers Delight to Birmingham for Amrit’s pre-wedding party. It was great to see all the friends and family getting involved in the fun and laughter.

We were very happy to see one of Drummers Delights’ favorite bhangra artists perform on the same evening: ‘JK’. We stood and watched as JK rocked the dancefloor with his popular tracks ‘Pat Liyah’ and ‘Jija Saali’.

The next part of our tour in Wolverhampton bought us to our dear friends’ wedding Sunny and Mandip.

Its great to perform for our loved ones and furthermore we can unwind and join in on the celebrations, we get to provide the entertainment and be part of the audience all in the same afternoon.

This venue is definitely a contender for the “The Drummers Delight venue with the best changing room award”….take a look at the dressing room TV showing live footage of the wedding

This weekend took us to Dunstall Park in the West Midlands where we entertained a very lively and energetic family, who had come all the way from Scotland.

The Drummers Delight dhol and bagpipes performance was perfect for this occasion. We almost lost our Bagpiper amongst the gentlemen from the Grooms family who were all wearing matching kilts, they looked like an army, ready to go to battle….on the dancefloor!

Its very rare for Drummers Delight to get almost drowned out on the ‘Grand Entrance’, but with a crowd that were roaring at the tops of their voices in combination with air horns, it really felt like we were at a football match!

Take a look at the the picture of the groom with someone dancing on his shoulders, its usually the other way round! Entertainment and decor at this wedding in Baylis House was provided by Steve from Higher Class Djs.

By the roll of a drum the animals in Aynhoe park came alive!

What a magnificent wedding venue: the house is filled with wierd and wonderful pictures, paintings and sculptures. A venue like we have never seen before!

The enthusiastic crowd cheered on the bride and groom, who willingly embraced the wedding tradition of being lifted up and dancing on someone’s shoulders. It was an absolutely euphoric moment!

Drummers Delight posing outside the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons, Holborn for a Black Tie themed wedding. The guests were very impressed by our unique performance as we played alongside the legendary Dave ” Bagpipes ” Brooks.

What better way to get a pre performance energy boost, than a table of assorted sweeties. The last time we saw this many sweets in one place was in the Woolworths ‘Pic N Mix’ stand.

It was a pleasure to be invited to perform at Sandeep and Urvashi’s wedding at Hedsor house, a lovely country manor in Berkshire. The crowd went wild when the lovely couple entered the reception and the echoes roared right the way through the house.

We’re used to seeing Sandeep hiding behind the lens at most weddings, but today he and his bride were in the spotlight, a truly special performance for Drummers Delight.

Take a look at lavish setup at the Grand Cannaught Rooms Ballroom. This was an entertainment packed reception with the exhilerating Jassi Sidhu performing live with his full band, playing some of our personal favourites from UK bhangra music. If this wasn’t enough, there was the very talented DJ H, from Ritzy Entertainment keeping the crowd on their toes.

Inbetween our day jobs and performing at weddings we recently decided to set up a very unique plumbing service.  Its so good that even Flavor Flav has decided to join forces with us.   Ooooh yeee lol

If you were driving on the M40 today and saw two Singhs in red pugs shivering on the hard shoulder, then you should have stopped to say hi! We broke down on the way to west brom. An hour and 300 quid later we made it to the wedding on time!! Wehaaaay! What a mad day!! Everyone was so happy that we made it to the Wedding which was lovey and it was a great event. We went through the whole day not knowing how the hell we were going to get home… Then we miraculously met a guest right at the end who was driving back to London… So a great result all around. Thank you RAC!! Btw RAC isnt cheap when you dont have cover hence the ludicrous expense… Let that be a lesson to all!! Lol

Home sweet home..now to bed

Having enjoyed many weekends off over Christmas and throughout the month of January… this all came to a glamorous end on Saturday when we performed at our first event of 2011. It was ace, the clients were lovely and very hospitable and well it was simply a great event to kick off this year of bookings. The venue: www.riverside-venue.co.uk was pretty darn spectacular. We pulled up outside and weren’t quite sure what to expect to be honest but the moment we stepped inside, we were very impressed…. the banqueting hall was beautiful, well decorated with great acoustics and our artist changing room: pretty much a 5* suite!! And not forgetting the bathrooms… you can always gauge a venue by how well the bathrooms are maintained… and well 5 stars all around! .

Music by Calibar Roadshow, who are always a pleasure to work with. I think we managed to flood the dancefloor (from empty to full) in a record 40 seconds!

Check out the the oval domes in the ceiling…these naturally amplify the sound in the venue which means the DJ doesn’t have to tear your ears off! Very clever technology!

Ok until next time…over and out.

Here’s the Drummers Delight wallpaper.

Some say that it looks as though the gold will peel off to reveal delicious chocoloate… hmm we do kinda know what they mean.
