At some venues it can take a while to unload the van and get all the equipment on stage, navigating narrow corridors and stairs, tiny lifts and then set up on a stage which could be another 100 yards away. Sometimes though, we strike lucky and this picture is a prime example of the most perfect equipment “Get-in” in the world…. Carlsberg could have been sponsoring it! We loved unloading and loading at this event.
However, no matter how big, how small, how tricky or how easy a venue is, Doctor Chocolate will overcome any obstacle and make it an evening to remember for you! So get in contact and let us know what you’ve got planned from birthdays to anniversaries, corporate events to product launches, if you have a celebration of any kind we’d love to hear from you.
Father Christmas had come early for Johnny this year. The band were playing at the O2 Arena in London for a Corporate Event. Backstage in the band room there was the most amazing drum kit which Johnny insisted on trying! What’s that old saying……? “small things please small minds” or something like that…..!
Doctor Chocolate played for a wedding in Ross on Wye during the summer. The Groom, Gareth Evans, was brave enough to be erm….”volunteered”(?) to come up and give his own personal rendition of Mustang Sally with our front man Matt Venn. It was an interesting version with much hilarity as a result from the guests! Mustang will never be the same again…..
120 people applied for the role of Front Man for Doctor Chocolate during the summer months and it turned out to be a tough day of auditions – we had some amazing guys attend who completely blew us away with their vocal talents! But there’s only one Front Man for the Chocs and we’d like to introduce you to our newest team member: Harry Blinstone. Suave and sophisticated, fun and funky, talented and tenacious….. audition day, despite having had a heavy night at a gig the night before, he turned up at ten o’clock and totally rocked the hall with a fab rendition of Let Me Entertain You… pitch perfect and ballsy…..! Great stuff…. !
The Chocs love a good wedding, everyone is in great spirits, the venues are so wonderful, and most importantly of all, the bride sometimes gets to sing with the band! Here is the latest wedding pic of the beautiful Tania, singing ‘Mustang Sally’ with her lovely bridesmaid Lizzy.
If you have ever wanted to sing in a band, then you have two simple tasks to do. 1: Get married. 2: Book Doctor Chocolate! WE LOVE WEDDINGS.
The Chocs really love the summer, and not only for the constant rain and overcooked bar-b-ques…….This is now the season for end of term summer balls. What better way for the future of Britain to enjoy themselves, than arriving in a pristine Limo, wearing their finest frocks and suits, and then being entertained by the fabulous Doctor Chocolate?
Zeph was front man for the Chocs for a year before going off to star in Wizard of Oz on the West End. He is currently LOVING his role as Mayor of Munchkinland as well as being an understudy to Michael Crawford! He hasn’t got any hair (anywhere) and unlike Samson, this actually GIVES him strength! Not only is he a top bloke, but he is blessed with an amazing voice, and man alive, you should see this boy dance!
The Choccy have some brilliant people working in the band, but sadly not all stay around, and move on to different things. This picture is a trip down memory lane, as all three have since left the band and moved on to forge their own, very disappointing careers.
The Choccy have gone from strength to strength, and 2010 is the busiest year we have ever had, with some wonderful weddings to play at and also some lovely corporate events.
We also have bookings deep into 2012, so please, if you are thinking of having us playing at your event, call or email us to see if we have the date free! sarah@doctorchocolate.co.uk
