Mike Paul-Smith Music: an award-winning collective of live musicians.
Providing live band hire for parties and celebrations since 2005.
Whether you’re planning a wedding anniversary celebration, birthday party, charity fundraiser, outdoor concert, or just want an excuse to get together with friends and family, live music can transform a great event into an unforgettable one.
Mike Paul-Smith Music is a small group of professional musicians, available to hire worldwide for parties large or small.
We perform together in a range of different band line-ups – meaning that we can entertain your guests with the same musicians at different stages of the event.
Read on to find out more about our line-ups, then book a consultation with Mike and let’s start planning your special event.
A trusted supplier since 2005:
Mike Paul-Smith Music’s line-ups are the perfect entertainment for any celebration – and they don’t come much bigger than the Leeds Castle Concert, which we have now been invited to perform at twice.
This event takes place in the stunning grounds of Leeds Castle (near Maidstone in Kent) where, for one day each summer, more than 12,000 concert-goers don their Union Jack outfits and gather for a celebration of live music and (hopefully) glorious British weather.
It’s a particularly special event because the headline act is the world-famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by conductor John Rigby and featuring star soloists from the worlds of opera and the West End.
In both 2021 and 2022 Mike Paul-Smith’s vintage band Down for the Count was honoured to open the event.
Our group of musicians can perform for different stages of your event, giving your guests an unforgettable experience.

The centre piece of your party music package – choose from one of our sensational party band line-ups, all of whom perform completely live (with no backing tracks or click tracks), giving our bands unrivalled energy and spontaneity.
As your guests arrive, entertain them with walkabout acts or static musicians – search through the various line-ups we have available to find the right style for you!
The perfect musical backdrop for your dinner, these groups can also provide music for your drinks reception
Small extras that make a big difference.
Your party doesn’t have to end when the band finishes – find out about using our top quality PA system to play your choice of recorded music, which is usually free of charge until midnight and can be extended afterwards for an additional charge.
A vintage dance troupe available to hire alongside our party band. The dancers bring the party, starting off with a quick and easy vintage dance lesson before the band takes the stage – and then they keep your guests entertained with flashmobs and group Charlestons.
We also have a list of recommended suppliers we love working with – check them out here!
