The Exports

This young and lively 4 piece comprises of accomplished musicians who have a wealth of experience within the UK, Europe and worldwide including Canada & the USA. Members have performed at SXSW in Austin Texas, Canadian Music Week in Toronto and Gibson Guitars USA. On top of that they have played at KoKo London, o2 Academies across the UK as well as residencies on cruise vessels.

They have acquired a great track record of clients throughout the years, including Heart FM, BBC Essex/Three Counties & Singology in London.

The band is fronted by the ever soulful Abbie, coming from a gospel and soul background, she can adapt to all genres. She is supported by one of the best back lines on the circuit, with Charlie on Bass and Ben on drums. These guys have been a team for over 10 years, and are instinctively the driving force of the band. Freddie on guitar leads from the front with killer guitar licks and superb backing vocals.

From having so many influences, you can expect to hear hits from Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams, Jess Glynne, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, The Killers and Oasis to name but a few.

Having such a wide range of live experience, this band is sure to have everyone on their feet singing along right until the end of the night! With energetic and soulful performances coupled with a high quality Mackie PA, these guys are equipped with the quality and the experience to make sure your night is a great one, and one to remember.

The band is able to provide a manned DJ service (using a laptop equipped with music software) before, between and after sets, saving you the hassle of coordinating a separate DJ. The DJ playlist consists of a broad range of soul, funk, rock and pop songs similar in style to their own repertoire.

The band will do their utmost to tailor their performance to your exact requirements, and will even be able to learn your favourite song/first dance.
