Midnight Sun is made up of very experienced musicians whose mission is to play great songs that audiences will love and react to. Our repertoire is constantly being shaped to give your punters and guests a great time. We are a 5-piece, Lead Vocals, Michael, Drums, Ric, Lead/Rhythm Guitars, Gary and Steve, and Bass, Joe. We bring our own lights, PA and other equipment. We just need a mains socket!
We play covers from a wide variety of genres and from the last 30 or so years, so we can tailor our set to suit different types of functions, pubs, clubs, private functions, private parties, etc. Based in Bedfordshire, but we travel quite extensively. We are also happy to discuss performance times, sets and of course, fees.
After a short break to upgrade the band, we are now ready for your Pub, Private Party or Special Event. On this page, you will find audio and video montage recordings.. Each one contains clips from around eight songs. These are NOT studio fiddled... They are simple, non-pro, live recordings at venues, so they will give a good indication of what you actually get.
You will also find pictures and other useful information, including an example song list, which is constantly evolving. Please get in touch by email. We will be very happy to discuss your requirements and are able to offer some limited discounts to venues for 'first gig' bookings. Thanks for reading.

We require space for a five-piece band and a single mains socket. Parking, or at least loading facilities for five cars is highly desirable.
We are completely self contained, we bring our own PA and other sound equipment, and stage lighting.
We simply require an accurate address for the venue, with any special instructions that might be useful for parking and unloading. We also need to know if a sound limiter is in use at the venue, although we are not Loud!!
If required, we can provide background music before our sets and during breaks. That music will be varied in nature reflecting our set.
Too many to mention.
Our music is very much audience centred. We play songs that have proven popular with all kinds of audiences. This is different from bands who primarily play music they like. We love a wide range of music, but classic bands like The Eagles, Dire Straits, Stereophonics and Queen we find are always popular.
Midnight Sun is a coming together around a year ago of experienced band musicians disenchanted with bands who centre their sets on songs they happen to like, which so often left audiences unimpressed.
We love playing at vibrant music pubs, social clubs with good music audiences, and certainly Private Parties where the age range and musical tastes are wide.
We typically like to arrive about 90 minutes or more before the start time. We are happy to play two or three sets as required, and typically would expect an actual total performance time of up to two and a half hours. Three 45 minute sets are typical. But we are happy to accommodate different requirements too.
We can and do play outside, provided a suitable flat space with roof cover from the elements is available, and obviously with a convenient power supply.
We normally will play proven sets that are most likely to suit the audience, but we are always happy with suitable notice to try and accommodate special requests. Client input in choosing from our set is also an option.
Previous clients like that we play songs they know and like, enjoy the wide range of genres and are always very appreciative.
