A fictional wedding band in Altrincham. Nothing on this demo is booked or sent.
About us
Five musicians and a DJ from Altrincham.
Two singers, guitar, bass and drums, plus a DJ who also plays sax. Based in Altrincham and playing weddings across Cheshire and Greater Manchester.
Our story
From hotel Sundays to wedding Saturdays.
Larch & Lantern began as the house band for Sunday lunch at a hotel in Bowdon. Couples heard us between courses and asked whether we did weddings. By our second summer, weddings had taken over our Saturdays.
There are five of us, plus Sol, our DJ, who also plays the saxophone. We rehearse every Tuesday in a room behind a bike shop, and new songs join the set because couples ask for them, not because they are in the charts.
We play across Cheshire and Greater Manchester, from city hotels to barns at the end of farm tracks. The job is the same everywhere: get people up, keep them up, and finish on the song you picked.
