Royal Wedding Band

Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips outside Canongate Church Edinburgh at their wedding

After many months of keeping it a secret, we are allowed to announce that we were the official party band on Saturday night at the Palace of Holyroodhouse for the marriage of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall.

It was such an honour to be asked to perform in Her Majesty’s official Scottish residence and at such a prestigious event.

It was an incredible evening and we will be posting any relevant press cuttings and information about the wedding on our blog over the next few weeks.

We’d like to thank everybody involved and especially Zara and Mike who made us feel very much a part of their special day.

Summer Party

July 29, 2011

We had a very early start last week with a 9.30am sound check at Chiswick Business Park. It was a beautiful sunny day in West London and such a great location in the heart of Chiswick. The award winning park was hosting a lunchtime ‘C-Festival’ for its workers. We performed two sets in the glorious sunshine. Thanks to Rouge Events and all involved for a wonderful day.

Check out the little video we put together

Family Affair

July 26, 2011

We want to thank John and Jenny for an amazing night with their family and friends on Saturday near Rayleigh in Essex.  We were made to feel so welcome at their joint Anniversary and Birthday party in their private home. It was such a pleasure performing on stage for all their friends and family.  A big shout out goes to Pat for joining us on stage during ‘Atomic’.  Pat rocks!!!!!!

Amy Winehouse's image added to Camden Square road sign

Another sad loss to the music industry last weekend, when troubled singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse was found dead at her London home. We performed ‘Valerie’ at an event Saturday evening, which has always been a firm favourite in our set.

Special Guest Appearance!

June 22, 2011

We had a great day and evening at Brickendonbury Mansion in Hertford, Hertfordshire at Toni & Adam’s wedding. The bride Toni had seen us at a variety of events including the star studded ‘Music & Lyrics’ film premiere party at Floridita in the heart of London’s Soho. It was a great day and we were made to feel part of the happy couples special day.

Friends and family were ready to party as we took to the stage and we even had the pleasure of Toni’s father Tony Hadley, performing two songs with us. He sang Robert Palmer’s ‘Addicted To Love’ and below you can see a video of the Spandau Ballet frontman performing the Kaiser Chiefs ‘I Predict A Riot’ on stage with us. He came and thanked us all individually afterwards and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved who made it such a great night. The staff at the venue were brilliant, especially Scott & Andy. It was a beautiful setting for a wedding and even the odd shower didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. Toni sent us this lovely message the next day:

Hey, sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak to u all, I was so busy with having to do the rounds!
I just wanted to say a huge thanku.
It was brilliant!
xx Toni xx

MADHEN – The ultimate party band!

June 8, 2011

Busy busy hen’s this week.  We’ve updated our website with new pics and bits!

www.madhen.net

Have been having some great gigs, from gorgeous weddings to big corporate parties.  Lots of activity in the office this week too, with many new enquiries and confirmations.  We have 3 gigs this week alone and September is looking really busy with every Friday spent in Aberdeen!

Also working on new tracks and our Christmas setlist too.  This is as good a time as any to thank all those who contribute to the success of MADHEN.  There’s a lot of great creative people we work with and companies who book us time and time again.  We are truly appreciative and look forward to a continued year of success

Much love from all the MADHEN’s
