Bar & Bat Mitzvah · DJ Live by Mothers of Music

The simcha that stops the room.

Not just a DJ.
Not just a band.

DJ Live is THE SHOW's smaller, customisable setup — built for family celebrations where you want the sound and energy of a full band without the full 12-piece production.

It's the same team behind THE SHOW: musicians and vocalists who've performed alongside Becky Hill, Lewis Capaldi, Rudimental and TLC, working with a DJ to keep the floor moving from candle lighting straight through to the last dance.

03
Your song requests
Tell us in advance and we'll work them into the set — family favourites included.

Hosting and crowd work
We read the room and keep it moving — announcements, games, and getting reluctant guests onto the dance floor.

Why Book with us for your simcha?

Run by musicians, not just bookers

Mothers of Music was founded by two professional musicians with over 25 years performing at events nationwide — we know what actually works in the room.

Sized to your simcha

DJ Live scales from an intimate family gathering to a full hall, without losing the live quality that makes THE SHOW different.

Handled start to finish

From first enquiry to contract and on-the-night management, we take the entertainment off your plate entirely.

"We used Mothers of Music for our son’s bar mitzvah and they were incredible! They made the atmosphere and brought the party to life. Steven, the lead singer was phenomenal and so professional. He was also accompanied by an excellent DJ. Suzie was so easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure that the event was personal to us and entertaining for our guests. Would definitely recommend using them for your next event!." — Luci Abrahams

Questions families ask

How is DJ Live different from THE SHOW's full band?

THE SHOW is a 12-piece band built for large-scale events. DJ Live is a smaller, customised version of the same team — live vocalists and musicians working with a DJ — sized for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah rather than a big hall.

Can we request specific songs?

Yes. Send us your requests in advance, including any family or simcha favourites, and we'll build them into the set.

Do you handle sound and lighting?

Yes, through our production partner Vibe Productions. We'll size the setup to your venue so you don't need to arrange anything separately.

How far in advance should we book?

Popular dates go quickly, especially during the spring and autumn Bar/Bat Mitzvah season, so we'd suggest checking availability as early as you can.

Do you travel outside London?

Yes, we perform nationwide. Let us know your venue and we'll confirm availability and any travel details.
