We use a top quality sound system together with top of the range microphones and instruments. This is all run through our 24 channel mixing desk and controlled by Peter, our sound expert.
This all ensures a professionalism and very high excellent quality of sound, even in the most acoustically challenging venue.
We have the facility to add additional amps and speakers for larger events such as marquees or outdoor gigs.
Basically booking Blue Express means they cover everything to suit everybody's taste - some of our most memorable events have been played both in tiny functions rooms and enormous banquet halls. Take a look at some of the venues we have played to get an idea of our versatility.
Travel
Although we are based in Edinburgh and the Borders we will also consider gigs further afield.
We have played all over Scotland from as far north as Wick to the top of the Cairngorm mountains. We can also discuss the possibility of an overnight stay if that is something that would be required.
We generally arrive 1 hour before to give us plenty of time to set up and have a sound check. Of course we are happy to work around your plans so please feel free to contact us if you have specific needs in mind. You can give us a call on 0131 467 2175 or email us at <blueexpressband@gmail.com.

First Dance
We know that for any couple the first dance is very important. It is your first dance as a married couple and you will want to put a lot of thought into choosing the right song. If you let us know we will make every effort to learn the song so we can play it live. Sometimes this is just not possible but we do promise to try our best. If you would like advice or help in choosing the song then please do contact us as we have the benefit of seeing many, many first dances and can tell you what works and (more importantly!) what doesn't!
If you do have a request that we are unable to accommodate then we would be happy to play this on CD.
Hear Us Live
It's really important when making your decision about a wedding band to do as much research as possible. We would always advise you to see us live and we can usually accommodate this with a little prior arrangement. If you are still in doubt take a look at some of the kind comments we have received in the past.If you are not able to make it along then we do have a selection of songs available for you to listen to .
