About

Dipesh Dhanak and Bollywood Music Band—you can't beat the feel and atmosphere of a live singer and musicians on your wedding day, and that is what we are. Catering for Asian weddings, we can provide music entertainment for any of the functions during your wedding.

My name is Dipesh, and I have been playing shows all over the UK and with artists from India for over 25 years.

Here are some examples of options we offer. Of course, anything can be mixed and matched:

Sanji/Mehndi Nights: Raas Garba/Bollywood/Bhangra

Wedding day: Piano instrumental, music band for Gujarati Hindu wedding (Lagna) music, background music for in between any stages and keeping the music going throughout the day.

After parties: Bollywood/Bhangra - and if you require a DJ, that can be arranged as well to cater to any other type of music you want.

Due to the variety of options, I cannot provide a fixed price list; however, in terms of how we perform, here are some examples so we can suit any budget and size of event:

Background music during your wedding so everything is played DJ-style throughout the day

Dipesh (solo or with the option of female vocals) sings traditional and/or Bollywood on tracks

Small live group: two singers with a Beats player

Normal live group: 5 pieces

We can make it as large as you want, so any additions, e.g., flute players, sitar players, or anything else you want, are available

Additional information:

  • Travel throughout the UK
  • I work with you to ensure you get what you want—it's your special day!

Bhajans before the wedding

Dipesh and his group performed some Bhajans before my daughters wedding for some family who had passed away. He did some special Bhajans that we wanted and did all the songs we wanted, thank you very much.

Highly recommended

Booked Dipesh for Navratri and on the first day he came early, made sure the sound system was all set up before the event and co ordinated his musicians during the event. He sang brilliantly and everyone danced until the last minute. We will be booking him again next year!

Unique Singer with professional service

We needed a singer for a sangeet night. We contacted Dipesh and he was able to share with us all that he can meet our function requirements for a traditional sangeet and modern dance night. He provided us with garba singing and Bollywood disco dandiya. It was a great night. I had people ask me for his details because they wanted to book him. He will be on our list for other events we have in the future.

Fantastic music for Mehndi Night

Dipesh was very professional from the beginning. We booked them for our Mehndi Night in May. He sang our special songs we requested and we loved listening to him. His group played Garba, Bollywood and Bhangra as well so we danced like anything! If we have another function in future we will call him.
