Headline event Rising talent
Take the headache out of planning your wedding
entertainment with GC Events, a wedding and event
entertainment specialist based in Derby and serving
mainly the East Midlands, but also prepared to travel
further afield. Make your reception go with a swing by
booking their highly experienced award-winning
wedding DJs complete with top-of-the-range equipment
to ensure exceptional sound quality. Two girls, two
guitars and one heck
of a sound… make
your wedding act
one to remember!
Jackie and Linda of
Phoenix of Stone
have been
performing together
since 2007 and can
regularly be seen
strutting their stuff
anywhere between
Kent and Cumbria.
Playing live to studio-produced backing tracks, their show can
include anything from ballads to rock, whether it’s The Beatles,
The Jam, Blondie, Queen, T Rex, The Stereophonics, Pink, Duffy
and many more classic songs.
As part of their planning service, one of the team will
meet you to discuss your personal playlist, highlighting
Must Plays and flagging Don’t Plays. If you don’t fancy a
disco, why not hire one of their acclaimed professional
solo wedding singers instead? Make sure the speeches
run smoothly (and can be heard and appreciated by
everyone) with the services of a Master of Ceremonies
who comes with PA system and wireless microphones. The girls have played many different venues including The
Cavern in Liverpool, food and drink festivals, music festivals,
royal wedding and jubilee celebrations, Christmas lights switch-
ons and The Acoustic Festival of Great Britain, where they
performed songs from their albums Demons and Dirty Tricks.
You may even have seen them in your early courting days at
Stoke Pride back in 2010 and 2011!
GC Events also supply the following popular accessories:
LED uplighting, giant 5-foot LED LOVE and MR/MRS
letters and confetti cannons. They can also arrange
photobooth hire. www.gcevents.co.uk
