Gold's Biography

Line up: 6 piece band: lead male vocals, lead female vocals, drums, bass, lead guitar, keyboard Jazz trio: piano, bass, drums



Gold; The ultimate function band.
This international party band is made up of the highest quality professional musicians who specialise in performing choice party tracks from the wide ranging genres of Funk; Soul; Motown; Rock; Indie; Pop and Disco. 

Gold has a wealth of experience performing at the very highest profile events including The Labour Party Conference Bournemouth the Bolsover Castle annual fireworks display Derbyshire (head line act to eight thousand people) and the Perno Ricard weeklong International conference in the south of France. The versatility of the band means that they are not only ideal for corporate events but also for weddings and civil partnerships university balls birthday parties and barmitzfers awards ceremonies festivals and concerts. They have also proved to be very popular with the British Military and are engaged by the SAS RAF and Army on their major events throughout the year.

Gold is led by Mathew Richardson Bmus (Hons) who is a former scholarship student of the Royal Academy of Music London. Away from Gold Mathew along with the other members of the band enjoy a varied freelance career working at home and abroad with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney Corrine Bailey Rae, The Human League, The London Philharmonic Orchestra etc in some of the countries finest concert venues as well as on television, radio and on a number of commercially available recordings.

If you need a band that will have you dancing all night & leave you shouting for more, there can be only one choice…

Gold; The Ultimate Function Band.

Option 1

Gold Party
The six or eight piece band produces a truly fantastic sound and is perfect as the main evening’s entertainment for any event.

The band will perform for up to a total of two hours of live music, with mixed pre recorded music being played through the PA in the intervals of the band’s performances as standard.

Option 2

Gold Jazz
The versatility of the members of Gold means that they are just as experienced performing Jazz Standards, as they are party tracks, and are able to offer the Gold Jazz option.

Dine in style whilst being entertained by the refined sounds of Gold Jazz.
The Trio or Quartet is able to cover a full range of cool Jazz Standards which will add sophistication to any event.

Whether it’s a drinks reception or atmospheric music during dining, Gold Jazz are happy to meet your exact requirements in order to ensure that your event is a complete success and enjoyed by all.

Option 3

Gold Jazz & Party Package
In addition to Gold Party for your main evening’s entertainment, why not take advantage of the Gold Jazz package as well. Dine in style whilst being entertained by the refined sounds of Gold Jazz. And then dance the night away whilst being entertained by Gold Party.

The Gold Jazz & Party Package has been specifically created for those clients that wish to book a suite of entertainment but who do not want to have the inconvenience of dealing with an external band and who wish to take advantage of the discounted pricing that can be offered as a result.

OTHER OPTIONS

The Gold Brass Section.
The Gold brass section is comprised of tenor saxophone and trumpet. The superb musical arrangement’s really bring out the best in this incredibly tight section and adds another dimension to the sound of the band. Powerful playing with ripping solos are as standard.

PA Options
As standard Gold uses top of the range audio equipment which is installed and operated on each engagement by our very own team. Because the band is fully engineered this ensures the perfect sound mix for each and every event.

The standard vocal rig is ideal for events up to 120 people or small function rooms, allowing competitve prices and excellent value for money.

For larger weddings and events, they can provide a top of the range 4000 watt PA system with engineer which is suitable to perform to a room of anything up to 400 guests. Larger systems are available on request to cater for any size of event.

After gaining entry to the performance area, it takes a total of 90 minutes to be fully set and ready to perform.

It is possible to down size the system to a vocal PA with independent backline amplification only. This is perfect for events that are being held in smaller rooms that would accommodate approximately 80 guests or less.


Lighting Options
As standard Gold uses the Acme cabaret colour pro light system. This produces 4000 watts of stage lighting via 8 x 500 watt bulbs. The system allows a flood of light of numerous colours or can be programmed to move with the rhythm of the band. The equipment is very compact and so can be used in almost any space.

For larger events, we can supply a popular range of intelligent and generic lighting from manufacturers such as Avolites, Martin Professional, Clay Paky, CCT, and Thomas and complementary special effects such as smoke and haze which can greatly improve the impact of the lighting. Set up time around 120 minutes.

"Gold were absolutely outstanding, the dance floor was full the entire time that they were playing.

We had read the reviews given by other clients before we booked them, but really were not prepared for just how great they were. They were really flexible and fantastic when our timetable went a bit out of the window as well.

We have had so many compliments from our guests, and many have said that they were the best band that they have ever seen at a wedding!

Please would you thank Mat and the rest of the band for helping to make our wedding so memorable- they really were terrific.

"I chose to book Gold in their 8-piece format to get the brass section and maximise their impact. It was a great decision. The band sounded fantastic, the dancefloor was never empty and I've had lots of great feedback about their performance. I booked Gold to get a "wow factor" at my wedding reception and they entirely delivered. Special thanks to Clare who was prompt, responsive and helpful at all times and made our search for the right band so much easier for us. Contacts with other agencies had left us disappointed for weeks, but within days of speaking to Clare we had our dream band."

"Dear Mary,

Many thanks for your email. We have just returned from a wonderful honeymoon back to reality unfortunately! But nevermind, we had an amazing wedding and we just wanted to write and say a huge thank you to Gold for providing some brilliant entertainment. The music was just what we wanted and it created a great party atmosphere which got everyone up and dancing - some danced all night!! I probably should have been talking to more of our guests but I was having too much fun on the dance floor as well! They were very professional and extremely talented - worth every penny.

Please pass on our big big thank yous to the band who helped make our day perfect.

Thank you also to you Mary for making it very easy to arrange entertainment for our big day and keeping us regularly updated - it made our lives much less stressful.

Best wishes,

Emma & Nick Morgan

"Hi Rebecca and thank you again for arranging.

The band were fantastic!

Everyone really enjoyed their music and I felt they were most amenable to our specific requirements for the night.

I would highly recommend them and for that matter yourselves for providing such a high quality customer service.

Overall, I would rate the band 9 out of 10 (hey, nobody's perfect).

Once again I appreciate your assistance with this.

Many thanks

"Hi Pete,

Thanks for your message. We had a great day which was made all the more enjoyable & unforgettable with the professionalism shown by Matt & the guys who make up Gold! It was a gamble for us choosing a live band for our wedding day, having never organised one before (live band that is!!). I can honestly say that the gamble payed off in hiring Gold - they were everything & more that my husband, Craig & I could have hoped for. If you read this email & you like R&B, motown music, look no further than this site Gold are the one & only!

Thanks again,

Mr & Mrs Smith
