    About this Act

    Nanoband offer pristinely played beautiful music of the highest standard. Both classically trained multi-instrumentalists with a wealth of experience in different genres, Katherine Stewart and Chris Lyons combine to be a rare act who can play professional classical music, then switch to a ceilidh or smooth jazz and even pop, rock or country. They can play anything, even the seemingly impossible, by creating bespoke arrangements of your requests - Chris’ soundtrack work is BAFTA nominated.

    Primarily an instrumental duo with the optional addition of a female vocalist, Nanoband offer a service tailored to the specific requirements of each individual client. They will accommodate any additions you might request; two vocalists, a male vocalist, an extra singer, a specific instrument, a bigger band, or anything else you can think of.

    Whatever you are planning, Nanoband can provide it all and with just two musicians; background music, corporate events, award ceremonies, parties, ceilidhs, wedding ceremonies and receptions. They will create a unique set to fit in with the theme of your event or with the music you choose.

    Nanoband can provide a non-stop entertainment package where you will not have an awkward moment of silence for the duration of your event. They will provide extra musicians who will substitute in when a musician requires a break. No two events are the same and Nanoband take great pride in ensuring that your event is one that will be remembered by your guests.
