 Limited Company - very popular Devon based pop band

 

Limited Company

Founded in 1987, Limited Company has steadily built a reputation as one of the most accomplished bands available in the South West. With many years' experience from diverse musical backgrounds, their mission is to deliver polished and exciting live performances within a dependable, client-friendly service. The band plays an unusually wide range of material from the 60s onwards. Sophisticated but never obscure, accessible yet avoiding the obvious, "broad appeal with musical integrity" just about sums it up. This eight-piece consists of a solid layer of bass guitar and drums, a generous filling of multi-keyboards, vocal harmonies, guitars and saxophone, topped with a versatile male lead vocal and, looking like two million dollars, their supercharged female frontline.
