Performers
Blue Juice comprises freelance musicians and performers that work in the UK, Europe and beyond on major productions. From London's West End Theatre and its session scene to national and international tours, radio and television – you may have seen or heard some of the guys already.
We have the benefit of bringing together the experience of people who have worked on multi-million pound musical productions all over the world.
For the men out there, think of it like a premiership football team - there's a first eleven with an equally strong squad on the bench. For the women it's like The Chocolatier's Table from Hotel Chocolat - you'll have your favourites but they're all amazing. For those that like neither football nor chocolate think of it like a bottle of wine that costs more than £10 in Marks' or Waitrose - it's all good. If you don't drink, you should. |

May I just say one word to you guys………………………….FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
The evening was marvelous and your play list was perfect for the audience.

We wanted to make our Annual awards evening that little bit more special this year and Blue Juice had been recommended to us. After a couple of meetings with Giles we were convinced that they could add that 'X Factor' to the proceedings and so it proved to be. Their ideas gained from their own experiences added a huge amount to the way we presented the evening.
They were completely flexible and obviously very accomplished musicians who sounded and looked the part. Highly recommended.

Dear Giles, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to you and your colleagues at Blue Juice for performing at our year-end event on the 6th July at Alton Towers. You made it a fantastic evening and I have received so many compliments and positive feedback about the evenings’ entertainment.
Your contribution to our Hays Factor competition was superb, in fact without your professional influence it just wouldn’t have worked anywhere near as well as it did, you really ensured that our “acts” delivered a superb nights entertainment and made the event such an amazing hit. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to colleagues or friends in the future. You really did make a difference to our celebrations.
I wish you and your band every success in the future and thanks again for doing such a brilliant job.

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you so much for all your help and support during and in the lead up to the Ball.The band were brilliant, and I’ve not seen a Ball before in my eight years where people have been dancing between the aisles and the dance floor was so full.We had so many people come up to us during the evening, and by email since, and say how good you were, Anne and I are both really pleased with how things all came together, so thanks once again.
Paul Chorlton - The Manchester Ball |
Dear Giles, thank you so very, very much for being and organising such an amazing part of our wedding day. Your band and singers were simply fabulous and totally surpassed anything we have seen before. Everybody loved you!

Dear Giles and The Rest of Blue Juice! Just a little note to say a huge Thank You for playing at our wedding. Your performance was truly stunning. In fact, our guests are still talking about it even now!
Helen & Matt Saunby |
Dear Giles, thank you very much for arranging, at short notice, for Blue Juice to perform at our Finance Directors conference dinner in June. You and your team were very friendly and professional, the music was perfectly tailored to the audience and really kicked off the event with a bang. It's rare to see so many FDs on the dancefloor at one time, but your band managed to get them up there!
Nigel Bretton - Lloyds TSB |
May I start by thanking you and your band for a phenomenal performance on Saturday. Everybody I have spoken to about the event could not say enough about the band. I guess you get what you pay for and what we got was first class. Dealing with you on the day was a pleasure and you couldn’t have done more to help so I thank you very much for that. Thank you once again for a fantastic evening and I will not hesitate to recommend you to all and everyone.
Lee & Tami Oakey |
Giles, a short note to thank you for the absolutely fantastic entertainment during the day and evening of our wedding. Not only were the strings and piano just right, but the main event in the evening was amazing. All of our guests have commented on the band – you really made the night for us!

Giles & all of Blue Juice,
Wow....words fail us. Thank you for making a special day extra special. It was perfect in every way. You were all brilliant, please except this as a personal thank you to you all. Everybody has commented on the whole day from morning to midnight – how fantastic it was. Giles, a special thank you for organising and delivering. The added surprises were great. I owe you one for that – you certainly had Ste sussed. From the lady who said “We’re not really dancers” I take it all back! All the guests who never stayed over were mortified at having to leave.
Once again we thank you profusely for making our day extra special. If I had £1m I would do it all again. Giles you were right, it is a day to remember for the rest of our lives.
Ste & Dawn. |
