Live indie & rock for the 42-acre members’ club on the Thames at Fulham. From £1,900.
The Hurlingham Club sits in Ranelagh Gardens at Fulham, on 42 acres beside the Thames in south-west London. The club was founded in 1869 around a Georgian-style clubhouse and is still a private members’ club today, with around 13,000 members and a closed waiting list. The club is historically significant as the home of modern polo (rules published here in 1873; first international match England vs the United States in 1886; polo events for the 1908 London Olympics).
We’re a Hampshire-based live wedding band that covers Greater London and Surrey regularly, with the M3 corridor in handled routinely. We add a small London allowance to cover ULEZ, congestion- charge and Friday-afternoon traffic honestly, and there’s no overnight accommodation to budget for.
The Hurlingham’s reception spaces have the kind of Georgian-style finish that doesn’t need help. Our stage setup is built to dress around the room rather than fight it. Black-finished kit, restrained on-stage lighting rather than a stadium rig, and a PA sized for the room rather than the road. We dress in stage-blacks unless you ask otherwise.
A Hurlingham wedding tends to pull a guest list with a strong London core, a members’-club crowd that knows the room, and friends travelled in for the weekend. The setlist flexes accordingly: Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and Kings of Leon for the late floor, Oasis and Stereophonics for the mid-evening, modern-pop crossover (Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Sam Fender) layered through for the chart-aware younger guests. Wedding non-negotiables (Mr Brightside, Don’t Stop Me Now, Sweet Caroline) take the back- half peaks. Between sets a DJ playlist (collaborated with you) keeps the floor moving. We learn one custom first dance per booking.
Curfews, sound rules and any in-house production arrangements at the Hurlingham Club are managed by the club’s own events team, and they vary by booking. A members’ club in a residential riverside London setting is one of the more careful briefs we play. We don’t make assumptions. We confirm the specific cut-off, limiter setup and any house rules with the events coordinator the week before, and pace the closing set so it lands at the actual end of the night.
If you’re booking the Hurlingham Club and want a band that turns up briefed, properly dressed and with the dance floor firmly in mind, send us your date. We’d love to be on your shortlist.
