After 5 · Live Band
Live Gala Band in Narva
After 5 brings refined elegance and world-class musicianship to make your gala in Narva unforgettable
If you're planning a gala in Narva, the rooms you're looking at tend to have high ceilings and hard surfaces — the kind that bounce sound around in ways a DJ setup rarely accounts for. That's actually where a six-piece live band earns its place. After 5 reads the room before the first note: the horn section's projection gets dialled back slightly in a low-ceilinged hall, the rhythm section anchors the low end so it doesn't smear, and the saxophone carries melody across the space without a wall of PA artifice. What reaches your guests is music that sounds intentional, not amplified.
What to Expect
A typical gala with After 5 lasts 5–6 hours. Our band plays 2–3 sets of live music, delivering refined elegance and world-class musicianship. Between sets, a DJ keeps the energy going so the dance floor never empties. We tailor the program to your event's schedule — from relaxed background music to an energetic party.
Typical Program
Reception — elegant Jazz and lounge music
Gala dinner — soft Soul and RnB background
Ceremonial part — formal presentations
Dance floor — refined Pop, Funk and Soul
Final set — closing the evening in style
Narva's unique cultural blend creates the perfect backdrop for memorable events. After 5 delivers multilingual performances that bring the community together.
