Prestwold Hall, Leicestershire for Sam and Marcus Gale

Lovely venue, lovely couple, lovely day!

Last Saturday we performed at the lovely Prestwold Hall in Leicestershire for Sam and Marcus and we had a really great time!

A stunning venue

Having performed at Prestwold Hall before, it is a venue that we are now very familiar with and a venue that we always look forward to performing at. We always find the staff to be professional and friendly, the food is of the highest standard and the venue and grounds, with so many wonderful views and stunning features, are to die for!

A Special Request from the FOTB

Adam was kindly asked by Sam and Marcus if he could perform one of the most requested songs ever, Elton John's classic,'Your Song.' It was, however, their second dance that got most of the guests talking: a surprise request from the father of the bride to his daughter and son-in-law, Heartland's 'I Loved Her First.' A very emotional and heartfelt song and, I must be honest, whilst Adam was learning the song it really hit me too... a really beautiful song.

They say... 

Prestwold Hall and its stunning gardens provide the perfect venue for civil weddings and wedding receptions. The Hall is available for exclusive use only, which ensures that your day is truly unique and memorable.

Up to 175 guests can be accommodated for a wedding breakfast with excellent menus and a fantastic wine list tailored to your individual needs.

Prestwold Hall is registered to hold civil ceremonies in the library for up to 150 guests. There is a Church of England church within the Prestwold Estate where it is often possible to hold a wedding ceremony.

A chauffeur-driven Bentley is available for use on your wedding day.

PC Vanilla Ice?

They say that you're only as good as your audience and that could definitely be said of the lively bunch that we performed to on Saturday! We had a real mix of young and old and this made for a diverse evening of musical tastes, with a special appearance by a guy named Gareth (real name Steve!? Don't ask!!) as Vanilla Ice! It was like the Ice Man himself was actually in the room with us, he was that good! I dread to think how many hours went into actually learning the song in the first place! :)

The worst thing about Gareth is that, Adam spent the entire evening watching him and hoping that he didn't do anything serious for a living: it actually turns out that he's a police officer!! From this day forth I won't have it said that police officers are boring!!

Swing & Soul Wedding Singer

For their Wedding Entertainment the new Mr and Mrs Gale booked Adam to perform his Swing & Soul Solo Show and also chose to include the Wedding Disco too.

Adam performed all of his usual crowd pleasing favourites including 'Haven't Met You Yet,' 'Save The Last Dance,' 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and Michael Buble's 'Everything' as the bride and groom's second dance with the remainder of the wedding party. Swing and Big Band first half over - phew!

Act Two got the party into full swing as Adam kept them all going with a blend of Soul, Indie and Pop tracks such as 'My Girl,' 'This Love, and ' 'Mercy'. Adam also added some new-ish tracks this week: Cee-Lo Green's 'Forget You' and his Old Pop Medley Mix containing Maroon 5's 'This Love,' Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' and Adam's very unique version of Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl.' They all proved to be brilliant floor fillers! :)  *these tracks will be released on a new Soul & Pop album coming very soon!*

On 4th September 2010 we performed at the lovely Warwickshire Golf & Country Club for Elizabeth and Richard and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

The spectacular views are to die for!

Having performed at Warwickshire Country Club before, it is a venue that we are now very familiar with and a venue that we always look forward to performing at. We always find the staff to be professional and friendly, the food is of a very high standard and the main event suite is really lovely with spectacular views over the golf course and lake.

Norwood Park, Southwell for Danielle and Stephen

A Big Band for A Big Day!

On 27th August 2010 we performed at the truly stunning and incredibly unique Norwood Park Hotel in Southwell, Nottingham for Danielle and Stephen Riggott... and what a lovely day we all had too.

Danielle and Stephen first heard about Adam after a recommendation from the lovely Paul at Spirits High Disco's (if you need a professional, reliable disco for your event then Paul is the man! He also happens to be thoroughly nice guy too!) and, after browsing the Adam Thomas website, that was enough for them to know that they wanted Adam and his 8 piece Swing & Soul Band to be a part of their big day!

The Day Itself

After arriving at the venue we realised that Danielle and Stephen had thought through every single meticulous detail and everything looked stunning: from the flowers to the cake, the dress to the venue itself.

Norwood Park is one of the best wedding venues in the Midlands and would make any wedding or special event stand out from the crowd simply because of it's stunning location, the truly unique courtyard and contemporary style mixed with traditional architecture. (If you haven't guessed already, we likey this venue!!)

The food is stupendous, the staff are friendly yet super efficient and professional and the all-round feel of the place is what a wedding venue should be... magical!

Norwood Park is a part of Maverick Venues and if you are still undecided as to who you would like to host your wedding or special occasion, then I urge you to take a good look around their stunning collection of venues as they may just have the venue of your dreams! Norwood Park and Sutton Bonnington are our personal favourites! :)

 

"Here We Are, On Earth Together, It's You And I..."

Stevie Wonder

Adam was asked by Danielle and Stephen if he could sing Stevie Wonder's 'You And I' for their First Dance and Adam was only too happy to accept. This particular track has truly wonderful lyrics and is the perfect first dance song for those couples still undecided and in need of something that really says something special.

 

 

"Adam Thomas and his Swing & Soul Big Band to the stage..."

The new Mr and Mrs Riggott booked Adam to perform with his 8 piece Swing & Soul Big Band for their Wedding Entertainment and they opted to include our Wedding Disco too.

Adam performed all of his usual crowd pleasing favourites including 'Sway,' 'That's Amore,' 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You,' 'Save The Last Dance' and Michael Buble's brand new single 'Hollywood.' Swing and Big Band first half over - phew!

Act Two got the party into full swing as Adam kept them all going with a blend of Soul, Indie and Pop tracks such as 'Soul Man,' 'All Night Long,' 'My Girl,' 'Brown Eyed Girl' and 'Valerie.' As we've said before, Adam's renditions of Paolo Nutini's 'Pencil Full Of Lead' has really proven to be a massive hit with all of his audiences this summer: it fills the dance floor every time!

 

They Say...

Norwood Park with its original furnishings and imposing, sweeping staircase makes a superb backdrop for your special day.

Shearsby Bath, Leicestershire for Carrie and Martin

A lovely couple, lovely venue, lovely day!

On 27th August 2010 we performed at the lovely Shearsby Bath in South Leicestershire for the delightful Carrie and Martin Garness... and what a lovely day we all had too.

Carrie and Martin first saw Adam Thomas perform live at the Hilton, Leicester Wedding Fair and, seemingly, that was enough for them to know that they wanted Adam to be a part of their big day!

The Day Itself

After arriving at the venue we realised that Carrie and Martin had thought through every single meticulous detail and everything looked great: from the flowers to the cake, the dress to the venue itself.

Shearsby Bath is a really lovely wedding venue with great food and truly attentive, dedicated staff. However, it is their wonderful Fountain Marquee that really sets this place off, catering for events of 100 to 250 people most weekends of the year!

"You're A Falling Star..."

Adam was asked by Carrie and Martin if he could sing Michael Buble's 'Everything' for their First Dance and Adam was only too happy to accept. This song has undoubtedly been the most requested first dance of the past two years and rightly so in our opinion! It has a lovely feel with sweet lyrics and is at a great pace - not too slow for you awkward grooms!!

 

"Adam Thomas to the stage..."

The new Mr and Mrs Garness booked Adam to perform his Solo Show for their Wedding Entertainment and they opted to include our Wedding Disco too.

Adam performed all of his usual crowd pleasing favourites including 'Haven't Met You Yet,' 'That's Amore,' 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You,' 'New York, New York' and Michael Buble's brand new single 'Hollywood.' Swing and Big Band first half over - phew!

Act Two got the party into full swing as Adam kept them all going with a blend of Soul, Indie and Pop tracks such as 'Soul Man,' 'All Night Long,' 'Let Me Entertain You' and 'Valerie.' As we've said before, Adam's renditions of Paolo Nutini's 'Pencil Full Of Lead' and '10/10' have really proven to be massive hits with all of his audiences this summer: they fill the dance floor every time!

They Say...

Our beautifully heated / air-cooled, permanent Fountain Marquee has its own private bar, dance floor, cloakrooms and kitchens. The Fountain Marquee is fully self-contained and offers the exclusivity of a venue that Brides’ dream of. The simplicity of the décor allows each Bride to put her own personal touches to the room and create a truly unique feel every time.

The Fountain Marquee offers the flexibility to accommodate Wedding Breakfast's of all sizes (up to 250 guests), and Evening Receptions for up to 350 guests.

Bestwood Lodge, Nottingham for Jodie and Ashley

What a lovely couple...

On Friday 20th August 2010 we performed at the lovely Bestwood Lodge in Nottingham for Jodie and Ashley Burton and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

The Big Day

Having performed at Bestwood Lodge in August 2009, it is a venue that we are now very familiar with and a venue that we always look forward to performing at. We always find the staff to be professional yet friendly, the food is of a very good standard and the variety of suites offer a great canvas on which you can add your own style to.

Adam was kindly asked by Jodie and Ashley if he could perform Lonestar's lovely ballad, 'Amazed' as their first dance. It is probably the most popular wedding first dance song that Adam gets asked to perform yet it never seems to lose it's sentiment and is still as magical today as it was in 1999 on first release. (Take a listen to Adam's Version below:)

"Adam Thomas to the stage..."

The new Mr and Mrs Burton booked Adam to perform his Solo Show for their Wedding Entertainment and they opted to include our Wedding Disco too.

Adam performed all of his usual crowd pleasing favourites including 'Haven't Met You Yet,' 'Save The Last Dance,' 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and Michael Buble's 'Everything' as the bride and groom's second dance with the remainder of the wedding party. Swing and Big Band first half over - phew!
