A Total Entertainment night in full flow in a Dublin venue.

DJ + Sax + Drums

Club Live.

A DJ set with a saxophone player and a drummer playing live over it. It isn't a band. There's no stage, no backline and no changeover. It's a way to turn a regular DJ night into something people talk about on Monday.

What it actually is

Three people, one set, no changeover.

  • Club Live, the dj.

    The DJ

    Carries the night from open to close. The set doesn't change to accommodate the live players. They come in over the top of what's already working.

  • Club Live, the sax.

    The sax

    Plays lines over the track, hooks people know, and improvised phrases over the build. It's the part that makes a phone come out of a pocket.

  • Club Live, the drums.

    The drums

    A compact kit or electronic pads playing live on top of the beat. It's what makes the room feel like a gig rather than a playlist.

Why a venue books it

It does what a band does, without what a band costs you.

  • It lifts a regular DJ night

    You keep the night you already run. The live players come in for the busy hours and the room notices, without you changing the music policy or the door price.

  • It costs less than a band

    Three people, no backline, no soundcheck, no dressing room. For most rooms it lands between a resident DJ and a five-piece.

  • It fits where a band won't

    No stage needed. The players work at floor level beside the booth, so you don't lose covers or standing space to a riser.

  • You can run it for peak hours only

    The DJ plays the full night. Book the sax and drums for the two or three hours that matter and pay for those.

What it needs from you

The bit your duty manager will ask about.

Worth knowing before you commit to anything. If your room is awkward, tell us and we'll come and look at it.

Space needed
Roughly 2m × 2m beside the DJ booth. No stage or riser.
Power
Two standard sockets within reach of the booth.
Sound
Works off house PA in most rooms. We bring our own if you haven't got one.
Set structure
Typically 3 × 40 minutes across the peak hours, agreed with your duty manager.
Load-in
45 minutes before doors. Pack-down is 30 minutes.
Lighting
House lighting is fine. We'll bring two par cans if the corner is dark.

Technical requirements, PLACEHOLDER. Replace with your real spec

Where it works

Rooms that are already busy, on nights that matter.

  • Club Live in nightclubs.

    Nightclubs

    Friday and Saturday peak hours, or a monthly night you want to build a name for.

  • Club Live in late bars.

    Late bars

    The room that's busy at eleven and empties at half twelve. This is what keeps it.

  • Club Live in hotel afters.

    Hotel afters

    After the band finishes at a wedding or a corporate night, when people aren't ready to go home.

  • Club Live in christmas and bank holidays.

    Christmas and bank holidays

    The nights you charge more for and can't afford to have fall flat.

Scale it up or down.

Club Live scales. Take the drums out and it's a DJ with a sax over the top. Add a vocalist and it's the closest thing to a band without the stage. Tell us the room and we'll tell you which version suits it.

Would rather talk it through?

Enquiry

Tell us the room and the date.

Five fields. We'll come back with what fits and what it costs. Not a brochure.

The room this is for.

A rough date is fine.

Closest match is fine.

Optional, but it gets you a better answer.

Whichever you'd rather we used.

Optional. Set times, room size, what worked last year.

No mailing list. We only use this to reply.
