THE SUPERS - GETTING THE PARTY STARTED!

Introducing to you, the wonderful ‘The Supers’, new to this year's fair, with an array of music to delight your ears.  Offering wedding and function entertainment they provide perfect music for every occasion. From Jazz, Swing and Soul, to Funk, Pop and Motown there will be something for everyone. Lead singer Molly King has a voice to die for, as she croons away to classic ‘50’s ballads, as well as upbeat swing hits.


The Supers can provide a range of entertainment from an intimate Jazz Duo, to a  fantastic 7-piece Funk Band, and can be available for the entirety of your event – to gently sing the bride down the aisle, or get the party rocking with hit covers on the dancefloor in the evening. The Supers can also offer DJ music for dance fillers in between their live music, a full PA system, which can be used during the day for speeches, as well as a full lighting set to add visual delight to the already buzzing atmosphere.


With a highly impressive resume, the musicians of the Supers are sure to be a hit with your guests having worked with the likes of Jools Holland, Hans Zimmer, U2 and Marcella Detroit amongst many others.


We at Bristol Vintage are “super” excited to hear them perform for all of us attending the fair in the afternoon, and you should be too! For a sneak preview check out their website.

Mr. Sawtime

Bristol Vintage is thrilled to tell you about Mr. Sawtime.


Think of a violin string. Now imagine it still thin, but broad like a bendy metal sheet. Now imagine drawing a violin bow across the edge….it vibrates like a violin string - but it's a musical saw!


Mr. Sawtime has been playing his Sandvik Stradivarius saw since he was a teenager. He's performed at parties, schools, fetes and festivals, on TV, in concerts and on records. His repertoire includes classical, country, jazz standards and ballads played to discreet backing tracks.


You can contact Mr Sawtime by emailing Gary at mrsawtime@virginmedia.com but come and hear him play live at the Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair on March 16th. He's not to be missed!

Shellac Sound


Thinking about music for your vintage wedding? What about hiring a Gramophone DJ? 


Matt Jones and Kate Wright are Bristol based gramophone enthusiasts, playing music from the 1920's, 30's and 40's on original wind-up gramophones.  They’ve played at art galleries, art deco hotels, music concerts, cinemas, birthday parties in church halls and tea parties in the park as well as some fabulous wedding receptions.  Drawing on their large collection of 78rpm records, they play a varied mixture of dance bands, popular vocal, jazz, chanson and latin, but are happy to tailor a set to completely suit your tastes.


Using two 1930's His Masters Voice 102 gramophones (widely regarded as one of the best sounding portable gramophones) and one horn gramophone, these are surprisingly loud and clear, but can easily be amplified using microphones if necessary.  With a daytime guide rate of is £150 for the first hour and £50 per additional hour, there are additional charges for travelling further afield and for evening events, so best to talk through your event with them in detail. 


They've been gramophoning since 2003 and are passionate about bringing the machines and the music to gatherings and celebrations.  Their website is delightfully retro and you can be inspired by samples of the fantastic music on their ‘listen’ section. 


You can contact Shellac Sound by email at shellacsound@hotmail.co.uk or call them on 07582 472 073.

Last year we had Matt at the Fair, but this year we’re lucky enough to have Kate too. They’ll be playing records in between the live music. Did you know you have to change a gramophone needle every three minutes?  Catch them in between and get lost in the magic of true vintage music.
