ACT PROFILE
Female-led Pop/Rock
Create an event that you and your guests will remember with Black & Gold.
Thrilling audiences across the UK and abroad, Black & Gold have performed at a wide variety of events from intimate weddings to high-end corporate shows.
Black and Gold are the result of a four-year obsession to create the most exciting party/pop band available on the market. The Act was developed exclusively for Earcandy, benefiting from the collective wisdom of dozens of Performers, Songwriters, Musical Directors and Producers. Black and Gold takes the secrets that record industry execs use for some of the biggest-selling bands in the world to give you and your guests a night to remember.
What’s best – unlike some acts on the market, Black & Gold perform completely live, so you know what you hear at your event is the real deal.
What You Get
Discover the things that make Earcandy packages go further
Earcandy
Disco
Package™
More than a ‘DJ Package’
Many bands or agencies will promise you a DJ package, but our Disco Package gives you more than what the other agencies typically provide. And there’s plenty of reasons to back this up:
Avoid Empty Dance floors.
When your band finishes their set the music should continue. That’s why we developed Earcandy’s Disco Package.
This is more than a laptop or iPod left on ‘auto-play’. Managed by your sound engineer, this is a continuous playlist, from over 3,000 of the newest and best-loved classic tracks. What’s best, unlike an iPod or laptop playlist, you avoid awkward silences between songs so the energy can continue.
Make Requests.
Another incentive for your guests to stick around and enjoy the party – just like a stand-alone DJ, you can make requests from our catalogue of over 3,000 tracks.
Either submit us your song choices before the day, or you can make requests on the day.
Guest Requests *New Feature*
You can now involve your guests early, getting them geared up for your evening. Opt for your guests to request a song before your event. All you need is their email address, and we will contact them on your behalf.
You get the final say on any requests and can make adjustments to the Disco Package set up, up to four weeks before your event.
Provided at no extra charge.
Our Disco Package is provided with most band bookings at no extra charge. Check your personalised quote to find out if it is included. Our Disco Package looks best when complimented by our Premier Package Dancefloor Lighting.
Upgrade to a Stand Alone DJ
Looking for something even better?
Then take a look at our stand-alone DJ for the ultimate DJ experience between band sets. with an expanded repertoire, upgraded equipment, advanced mixing skills and compering throughout the evening. All complete with Club-experienced professional DJs.
Entertainment
Coordinator
When you book an Earcandy Act, know that you are in safe hands.
Your booking is managed by your very own experienced event coordinator. They will help guide you through the things you should be considering when organising a band, and can help to make useful suggestions so that you get the best out of your entertainment.
They will liaise with your venue, and your other suppliers to help make sure that your event runs smoothly, without a hitch.
Sound Tailored For your Venue
What is a sound engineer?
A sound engineer may be the biggest secret to an amazing sounding band. You may not know it, but most demos that you will hear from bands have been mixed by a sound engineer.
Have you ever been to an event where you can’t quite hear the vocals, or where you can hear high-pitched feedback? That’s normally because the band haven’t got a professional sound engineer to mix their sound levels.
Do I need a sound engineer?
If you have booked an evening band with more than three members, we always recommend that you book a sound engineer. Without a sound engineer you may risk both the quality of the sound and the safety of you and your guests.
Don’t let Sound Limiters risk your event
In order to control the volume of entertainment, many venues have installed sound limiters. Sound limiters can cut out the power to the band if the volume exceeds a certain level.
When you hire a sound engineer, the band has more control over their volume and significantly decrease the chances of the band’s performance cutting out due to the power being cut by a sound limiter.
Health and safety
Long exposure to high levels of sound may contribute to hearing loss and can be uncomfortable to listen to. A sound engineer has more control over the volume of their performance.
Can’t the band do sound engineering?
Some bands will offer to do the sound engineering themselves. This may be ok for acts with limited amplification, or bands up to a three piece. However sound engineering a bigger band is a lot more complex and a specialist job. It takes years of experience to master – this is usually not what band members are best at.
There’s also a practical consideration. If the band are behind the speakers they will not be able to adapt and adjust the sound through performances and will normally need to stop their performance in order to adjust the sound and listen to the speakers that are facing out to your guests. Depending on the number of guests in your room, the acoustic properties of the room change. That means that there may be no feedback, and the band may sound good when the room is empty, but without a sound engineer to continue to monitor and properly adjust the amplified sound, the audio quality can quickly deteriorate. That’s when feedback and muffled sound creeps in.
For the best experience, and the safest sound levels we recommend you always check that a sound engineer is booked for any evening act larger than a three piece.
Make Song Requests
Depending on the package that you book, you will be able to have your own say on your act’s song list. That means you can personalise your booking to suit you and your guest’s preferences. Besides, we think your event should be personal.
Hand picked Performers
Our staff come from the record industry, and so we know where to find those performers that are involved with high-level projects like West end shows, support slots for high end acts and session musician work. Unlike other agencies, we work exclusively with our own acts. That means we can offer a lot of work, at a fair price, throughout the year to performers.
The result? A higher calibre of performance for you and your guests.
How we maintain quality
We believe every event should be exceptional. That’s why we assign each act it’s very own Musical Director (act owner). Their job is to be responsible for the quality of performance and to ensure that you and your guests get a fantastic experience.
Unlike many acts who may rely on last-minute ‘deps’ if a performer is unable to perform at your event, we work with the West End Show model. This means that all our bands are made up of a small pool of handpicked interchangeable performers each who performs regularly with the act. Not only does this protect against last minute cancellations, but it also means we can access better performers who work in the west end and on high-level performances.
Each one auditioned and handpicked for their particular look, musical style and energy and they are all regular performers of our acts.
For more information about our auditioning process, please see: https://earcandylive.co.uk/faq/ under ‘which performers will I get’

The main singer was so polite as well as she introduced herself to me and my husband and checked in between sets to see if everything was ok for us.

The band was amazing and everybody has been commenting that this really made the evening and how good they were –the number of people on the dance floor at any point in the night was testimony to this. As I think I already said we were really pleased.

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. Black & Gold were so slick and professional, the lead singer’s voice was out of this world! All our guests were on the dance floor from the moment they began to perform, and everyone was commenting on how amazing they were long after our wedding. The whole lead up to the wedding was seamless and completely stress-free thanks to Ear Candy. But Black & Gold truly were the icing on the cake, and we can’t stress the importance of stretching your budget a little further for the sake of having a five star band. Thank you so much. Love, Emma & Kurt Grossmann.

The act were fantastic and were very patient as we were still doing speeches when they arrived. They were extremely polite and many of our guests commented on how great they were and wanted to know where we found them. I thought the lead singer was great and she came out and mingled with guests while performing, which got everyone involved and up dancing. We were over the moon on how they performed our first dance aswell. They made our evening.

I stood back at one point and watched our whole wedding rock, every guest was cheering and applauding their performance.
At times you couldn't even get on the dance floor. 120 of our closest friends and family chanting 'we want more' at midnight, amazing!Dean Agambar

I cannot find the words to express how totally amazing Black and Gold were at our wedding reception on 2 June 2012. From the moment they started until the moment they ended, the dancefloor was never empty (as the bride, I can vouch for that because I could hardly walk on the Sunday as my feet were aching so much!!!!). The band were totally professional and the lead singer's voice was fantastic. All of our guests have commented on what an amazing evening they had. The choice of songs was perfect. All I can say is thankyou for giving us the perfect end to a perfect day Martin & Jo xx

My one worry before my wedding was that I wanted everyone to have a good time and so evening entertainment was a priority for me. This was not a worry as the band were amazing, they kept the dance floor packed all night long. I would not hesitate to book them again and they were also very helpful in the fact that they made announcements etc too throughout the evening. I cannot thank you enough.

I would definitely book Black & Gold again, they were fantastic. A great range of songs, and perfectly performed to create just the right atmosphere for our New Years Eve Gala Dinner and Dance. The dance floor was full, a sure sign of a great band. Being the main contact for the band, I found them all very professional and well organised which makes the running of an event less stressful and more enjoyable! Thank you to Black & Gold!

The whole ear candy experience from start to finish was great, even in a pandemic with a wedding postponement and so much uncertainty.
Lisa and the guys from Black and Gold were outstanding. They created a brilliant party atmosphere at our wedding, with everybody on the dance floor! Lisa has an outstanding voice, and our guests really connected with the music choices and vibe. Thank you!
Hannah Ayers
I can’t recommend Earcandy enough, and Black and Gold in particular! They were so professional and organised and a joy to work with, and were so supportive through all the changes during the pandemic. The music at our evening reception was faultless and we had the time of our lives! So many people commented on the music and Lisa (lead singer) in particular, and they kept the dance floor full all night! They sang our first dance song and made it so special. Highly recommend!
Lisa I
Lisa and Black & Gold where amazing at our wedding. Everyone commented on how good they all were and very professional. Our special request for our first dance was learnt especially for us and it was perfect. Lisa communicated with us before the big day to
check we were happy with the music choices and also the details for the sound engineer for inbetween the live sets. We loved every minute!! Thank you so much x
Danielle Heath
They were really nice and professional and we loved their act.

Craig Barber
The act were fantastic. They listened to and took on board our requests. They were lively and all our guests had a brilliant time dancing to both the live music and the DJ set. The band were a bit disadvantaged that it was a really hot day, so for the first set there weren’t many people dancing as they were outside enjoying the sun, but the band remained enthusiastic and carried on.
Rebecca Fodder
Please note the band were excellent.
Victoria Coulthard
Black and Gold were great keeping the party atmosphere into the late evening.

The band were amazing and performed a song for our first dance which was so special. Everyone was up dancing along to the music and said how good they were. Worth every penny. Thank you so much.
Lucy Townend
The band were very friendly and we loved having them here. The music was amazing and everyone had the best time.
Kirsty Sweeney
They really were brilliant. Enjoyed every minute of them. The singer had an incredible voice, so many guest came up and told me that and asked where I had found them. The Band had also taken the time to look at my Disco choices and realized what my Taste was and banged out some great Rock anthems which were not on the original Band Song list.
Nicola Wallace
This is the second time we used the band and they were brilliant, everyone loved them.
Louise Pottinger
Great act. The first set was perhaps a touch modern for my demographic but that said what they did was excellent and is not a criticism on the band.
Nicola Smith
The band were lovely and sounded fantastic.
Claire Hunt
Just fabulous, we loved them as did all of our guests. The lead had an awesome voice & was great at getting the crowd going & the female guitarist was epic.

The sound engineer was slow in getting going after the band finished. One member told a guest they could use the computer to search for songs then another member was quite rude in the way they said this wasn't allowed.
Hannah Watts
Wedding , May 18, 2018
I did not hear one of my must plays which was the song that made me choose the act in the first place. There is a small chance I missed it, but I believe I was on the dance floor for every single song. However other than this I LOVED the band and they were perfect, the atmosphere and quality of the music was excellent and everyone commented on how good they were.

The band were incredible - to the point, you actually forgot it was a "live band" a cd/mp3 playing. They were pitch perfect! Create a great atmosphere and hugely professional.
Everyone has commented how amazing they really were. They were without a doubt money well spent and worth paying that bit more than less professional bands. You are guaranteed star quality act!

We have had many comments from our wedding guests about how good the band Black and Gold were, they produced some great sounds and music and they kept the dance floor full all evening. Two weeks on and guests are still saying how great the band was on the night. They played some unusual numbers too which our guests commented on, saying they worked very well. I am glad I won my other half over and went with my decision to book a class act to provide some live energy. They were the icing on the cake to end our fantastic wedding day. Thank you Black and Gold.

Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. Black & Gold were so slick and professional, the lead singer’s voice was out of this world! All our guests were on the dance floor from the moment they began to perform, and everyone was commenting on how amazing they were long after our wedding. The whole lead up to the wedding was seamless and completely stress-free thanks to Ear Candy. But Black & Gold truly were the icing on the cake, and we can’t stress the importance of stretching your budget a little further for the sake of having a five star band. Thank you so much. Love, Emma & Kurt Grossmann.
Emma Devenish

At times you couldn't even get on the dance floor. 120 of our closest friends and family chanting 'we want more' at midnight, amazing!
Dean Agambar

The band were absolutely sensational and really made the evening do to our wedding very special! Lots of the guests said how fabulous they were.

Leanne Shufflebotham
Wedding , June 2, 2012

I cannot find the words to express how totally amazing Black and Gold were at our wedding reception on 2 June 2012. From the moment they started until the moment they ended, the dancefloor was never empty (as the bride, I can vouch for that because I could hardly walk on the Sunday as my feet were aching so much!!!!). The band were totally professional and the lead singer's voice was fantastic. All of our guests have commented on what an amazing evening they had. The choice of songs was perfect. All I can say is thankyou for giving us the perfect end to a perfect day Martin & Jo xx
Joanne Fraser
Wedding , June 2, 2012
My one worry before my wedding was that I wanted everyone to have a good time and so evening entertainment was a priority for me. This was not a worry as the band were amazing, they kept the dance floor packed all night long. I would not hesitate to book them again and they were also very helpful in the fact that they made announcements etc too throughout the evening. I cannot thank you enough.
Nicola Wales
Wedding , April 8, 2012
I would definitely book Black & Gold again, they were fantastic. A great range of songs, and perfectly performed to create just the right atmosphere for our New Years Eve Gala Dinner and Dance. The dance floor was full, a sure sign of a great band. Being the main contact for the band, I found them all very professional and well organised which makes the running of an event less stressful and more enjoyable! Thank you to Black & Gold!

The Earcandy Difference
Discover what makes us different from traditional agencies.
