About / Biography

The Velvet Goldmines are a dynamic and versatile trio that has been captivating audiences for over four years. Known for our high-energy performances and diverse setlists, we bring a unique blend of talent and passion to every stage we grace.
Our most recent and notable achievement was being selected to perform for Virgin Voyages, an opportunity that took us on an extraordinary five-month journey to Australia only just ending March this year. The selection process for Virgin Voyages is famously rigorous, with thousands of talented musicians from around the world auditioning for a coveted spot.
Out of this highly competitive pool, our band stood out and was chosen to entertain guests aboard one of the most prestigious and luxurious cruise lines. Performing for Virgin Voyages was not only an incredible honour but also a testament to our dedication, skill, and ability to engage and delight diverse audiences.
This experience has further honed our craft and solidified our reputation as a premier musical act. We are now eager to expand our horizons and bring our unforgettable performances to new venues and audiences.
With a proven track record of excellence and a passion for music that resonates with fans of all ages, The Velvet Goldmines are ready to make every event an unforgettable experience.
In addition to our full band performances, two members of The Velvet Goldmines also operate as a versatile duo for more intimate events. This smaller configuration allows us to adapt our dynamic energy and diverse repertoire to suit a variety of settings, from cozy private parties to sophisticated corporate gatherings. Our duo performances maintain the same high level of musicianship and audience engagement, ensuring that even the smallest events are infused with the vibrant spirit and professionalism that define The Velvet Goldmines.

  • Marella, 4 month contract (TUI Cruiseline)
  • The North London Tavern, 5 month as house band (Kilburn)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We performed on a 5-month cruise ship as house band with Virgin Voyages, travelling across the world from Greece to Australia! It was an incredible experience performing at least 2 shows a day whilst experiencing some amazing places!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The Beatles, we are huge fans and get a lot of inspiration from them! Regularly performing our own (more rock n roll) version of songs like I saw her standing there, I feel fine, Don't let me down, and many more!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started gigging whilst at ACM - an academy for contemporary music back in 2018, since then we have performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and events across the UK and internationally.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love playing at every type of events, but private parties and weddings are our favourites! The guests always have the best time and it's easy to get them up dancing!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers would describe us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.
