  • Here's a video of Down for the Count (part of Mike Paul-Smith Music) performing LIVE at Sheila & Rob's wedding at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, London. Find out more about our live music packages for Jewish weddings, bat and bar mitzvahs here: mikepaulsmithm...
    We performed Hava Nagila LIVE which provided the perfect background for a traditional Horah chair dance - here are the highlights of the dance, watch out for the chairs about one minute in!
    Down for the Count are available for your wedding, Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah anywhere in the world. We play an exciting range of music from the swing, soul and Motown eras and our music is guaranteed to get the guests up and dancing!
    The band has a wide and varied repertoire list, meaning there is something for everyone at each and every performance. We play classic big band swing music from artists such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, and soul and Motown music from Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin. You can also expect to hear modern pop songs from the likes of Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars and Paolo Nutini. We guarantee to make your night unforgettable!
    Our Swing and Soul Band can also be booked alongside our wedding jazz bands and ceremony musicians.

      @Ahmed Baluch Jew is the nationality. Christian - is the religion. You can be an Jewish Christian or Arabic Christian. Christianity is in conflict with Judaism (and always has been), not with Jewish people: even Jesus Christ as a human was Jew, and His Most Holy Mother was Jewish, and Apostles and first martyrs too.
