Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday, is traditionally an opportunity to honour and recognise the influence that mothers have on our lives.
Whilst Mother's Day is often a private family affair, those who want to make the occasion extra special may want to hire entertainment to perform in their own home or at a Mother's Day party.
Alternatively owners and promoters of venues such as restaurants or hotels may wish to host their own Mother's Day event, therefore hiring a selection of entertainment to suit their guests.
It is usually best to have something soothing in the background - harpists are always a popular choice.
A harp player is the classic choice for a mother's day party or surprise lunch/supper. A harpist is suitable for many different styles of events and is fantastic at providing elegant and graceful music, which is perfect as background music or the main source of entertainment.
Once found only on the streets of Mexico, Mariachi Bands are now regularly hired to perform at a selection of different events. An energetic and vibrant act, a mariachi band will guarantee that Mother's Day is just as successful as it is exciting.
Wearing traditional colourful Mexican clothing complete with wide brimmed sombreros, this musical symbol of Mexico usually perform a variety of Latin/Mariachi songs as well as contemporary pop hits played in a unique Mariachi style. Usually consisting of five members playing jumbo guitars, violins and trumpets, it is often the case that all members sing and encourage the audience to participate.
Creating a stylish and sophisticated atmosphere, pianists are ideal for those who are looking for a musician to supply background music whilst guests chat or enjoy a Mother's Day meal. A solo pianist can be extremely versatile, moving between contemporary pop songs to jazz standards and is therefore capable of pleasing a wide audience.
As with most other performers, pianists will learn one or two new songs at a client's request. This must be done far enough in advance, but gives the client organising a private Mother's Day the opportunity to have his/her Mother's favourite songs performed.
The piano has always been an instrument which creates a classy and sophisticated atmosphere for any event. When considering their repertoire for an event, many pianists choose to play jazz standards as this fits well with most audiences and is particularly popular at corporate dinners. However most professional pianists also have a good knowledge of hits ranging from the past 50 years of popular music and will take requests to learn specific songs if given enough notice.
Playing the songs of a specific band or artist, a tribute act could potentially be the ideal source of entertainment for Mother's Day, as long as it's the special Mum's favourite band.
Tribute bands make the effort to look, act and sound just like the original band. A good tribute act will make the audience feel like they are seeing the real thing, not just an impersonation. The most popular tribute act are the Elvis Presley impersonators with a staggering 85,000 different tributes across the world.
For those hiring entertainment on a budget, some solo tribute acts are available who perform to backing tracks which will give the impression of a band whilst retaining an affordable price tag. A good Mother's Day will be a memorable one. The key is to not only make her feel special but also an opportunity to relax and enjoy herself listening to her favourite music accompanied by family and friends.
A guitarist is probably the most "portable" musician you can find so can be the ideal musician when space is an issue. A professional guitarist is a popular choice of entertainer for many different types of events as their versatility between genres can suit any occasion.
Commonly hired to play background music, solo guitarists are an affordable option if you’re looking to have entertainment whilst your guests eat or have drinks. Professional solo guitarists will have a diverse range of songs in their repertoire, which varies between styles and genre.
As will all popular celebration dates througought the year, musicians tend to get booked up early, so try to book by January if possible.
