The Story

About us

We have each been gigging and touring in various pop bands, cruise ships, and function bands over the past 15 years. As we each bumped into each other at various shows we hit it off and now the time is right for us to join forces to create – The Essential Party Band!

Natalie heads up ‘Perfect Little Harmonies’ and has returned to us after years on the stage. We have snapped her up pronto!

Stan ‘Magic Keys’ Majerski has been producing, recording and touring in Europe – and now he and his lovely family are now living in sunny Bournemouth, Dorset.

Rhythm section James and Matt have been performing as ‘guns for hire’ across Bournemouth for the past 10 years and were a mainstay with ‘The Trouser Band’.
