ABOUT The Aidan Townend Band was formed in Derbyshire in 1997, under the original name of The Country Gentlemen. They stormed the live music scene with an exciting repertoire ranging from Jazz classics through to popular hits. Soon after establishing themselves, the band introduced Charlotte Day on vocals. It then became obvious that the original name was inappropriate! In recent years Ron Henshall on sax and flute, and Andy Blakeley on drums, have completed the line-up. Initially the band was in constant demand for corporate functions, PR events and private occasions. They soon realised that to progress, regular performances at larger venues was crucial to achieving a more comprehensive relationship with their audience. This ambition was achieved when the band’s demo received the attention of the Entertainment Manager at Manchester’s Trafford Centre, one of the largest and most prestigious Shopping Centres in Europe. More than a decade and hundreds of performances later, the alliance between The Aidan Townend Band and the Trafford Centre is stronger than ever, involving numerous engagements for associated businesses and also charities supported by the Centre. Aidan has also successfully promoted large events for the last three years at various venues throughout the UK. There are several shows available including the highly acclaimed 'Yesterday Once More' show which celebrates the music of The Carpenters, A Classic Rock show, and Music of The Beatles, all of which feature some of the North West's finest musicians and vocalists performing with The A T Band. The band is available for all kinds of private and corporate functions, whether it be the standard four-piece or a full blown orchestra complete with string section! For more intimate occasions, duos and trios can be arranged. DJ inclusive packages are also available.
