Live music is an incredible way to create atmosphere at an event.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re hosting a lockdown get-together or planning post-COVID celebrations for 2021 (touch wood!), there\u2019s nothing quite like the sound and sight of musicians to add a touch of class to your event and impress your guests.<\/p>\n But with people\u2019s bank accounts hit hard by the pandemic, live music can be difficult to afford.<\/p>\n So we\u2019ve partnered with the UK\u2019s largest musician booking platform, Encore Musicians<\/a>, to offer Kent Alumni an exclusive 10% discount on all their musical artists.<\/p>\n With over 5000 professional artists on the platform all across the UK, Encore\u2019s got you covered whether you\u2019re looking for a sophisticated string quartet<\/a> to play you down the aisle, or an upbeat rock and pop function band<\/a> to get your guests on the dance floor.<\/p>\n They also have a range of music options suited to events held during lockdown where the musicians might need to be socially-distanced outside performing acoustically, or in smaller groups. A traditional Scottish bagpiper or ceilidh band<\/a> is guaranteed to provide some extra authentic folk oomph to your party. Or for something different why not book a Mexican mariachi band<\/a>, who can stroll around at a safe distance while their music wafts through your venue.<\/p>\n To browse videos of Encore\u2019s artists, get prices from available bands and head here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019re ready to book simply email bookings@encoremusicians.com with the code KENT-ALUMNI-2020 to get 10% off your booking. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/development\/files\/2020\/08\/Encore-Musicians.jpg\")
