Bavarian Band

Lively traditional Oompah band, ideal for German Bier Keller nights or outdoor garden parties, ensuring dancing, singing, and thigh-slapping fun!

Decked out in traditional German Lederhosen costume, the band boasts a vast repertoire of both traditional and popular German music, along with English sing-along tunes.

The band is modeled after a typical Bavarian ensemble consisting of 2 clarinets, trumpet, trombone, and tuba, though they can also perform as a 4, 6, or 7-piece lineup by adding accordion and drums. They can perform both indoors and outdoors and require no power, allowing them to stand, sit, or stroll around a venue.

A typical Bier Keller night entails two or three 45-minute sets. The first set usually features traditional music to set the mood with plenty of Bavarian toasts to get the beer flowing. The second set typically involves more audience participation and games accompanied by Um Pah music and a few beloved English songs. The third or 'party' set is packed with rousing German and English songs from 'Val der Ree, Val der Raa' to 'Daisy Daisy' and 'The Dambusters' to 'Que Sera,' involving lots of drinking, dancing, singing, and thigh-slapping!

The Bavarian Band has performed at venues around the world including shows in Germany, Italy, the Channel Islands, and Ireland. They have appeared at numerous venues throughout the United Kingdom such as Harrods store, the RAC Club, Skibo Castle, various Universities, The Royal College of Music, The Royal Netherlands Embassy, Battersea Bier Fest, and the National Caravan Exhibition. They have also been featured on various TV shows including BBC’s Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Sport Relief, and Sky 1’s Vroom Vroom and have appeared in several films.

The Bavarian Band is frequently booked for corporate events and has recently been hired by BMW, Munich RE Insurance, and T-Mobile, among others. The band can add a touch of class and unique entertainment to any event, offering anything from background traditional Bavarian music to a full Bier Fest for your clients.
