About Roughcut Ruby

We are Roughcut Ruby. The best party starter in Oxfordshire!
Function band
Witney
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Roughcut Ruby is an established 5-piece collection of excellent, passionate musicians covering Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire. We are known to play a wider range of music than many cover bands. We play for the fun and our love for music. When you can look right into the audience’s eye the way you can in a small venue, and everything comes together, it’s the best feeling in the world. There’s a real connection – and we’re here for just that. Our current line-up came together in early 2016 and we’ve gone from strength to strength ever since. With female and male vocals, you’ll hear some of the best from KT Tunstall, Stevie Wonder, Scissor Sisters, The Doobie Brothers, and Amy Winehouse, to the older classics that we all love! Roughcut Ruby is better than your average local cover band. With our lively gigs being much more than mere pub background music, our use of audience interaction and unbeatable chemistry on-stage has seen us build up an enthusiastic local following. From our earlier days playing the pubs and clubs around Oxfordshire, we now regularly play weddings, corporate functions, festivals, parties, and trendy city-centre pubs and clubs. *Band Members Guitar & Vocals: Jim Vocals: Helen Drums & Vocals: Double G Bass & Vocals: Richard Trumpet & Vocals: Lisa

Rough Cut Ruby played at our Wedding last weekend and I can not describe how fantastic they were! They played a mix to ensure all guests were included and just made the day the most enjoyable wedding. We will definitely be recommending them. Thank you all so much.

I hired Roughcut Ruby to play at my 40th birthday garden party. Even months beforehand Helen and I were emailing about playlists and requirements, so this put me at total ease. They arrived in plenty of time to set up and was so helpful in adapting to what we needed for the party. And then they played! Wow what a fantastic band, brilliant songs and awesome singing and instrumental too. I have had so many compliments on how excellent they are. I would definitely book them again in the future without needing to look around at other bands first. Thank you so much for making my birthday so special, they have made great memories for me from this party :)

Customer questions

How much time do you need to set up?

We need at least an hour to set up before we can start to play. Tear down is quicker, typically 30 minutes.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

We come with all the equipment required for the gig. Time and space permitting, we will bring a full professional lighting rig and some stage dressing.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Absolutely – ask away. Just let us know well in advance in case the particular song isn’t on our repertoire yet, so we can learn it for the gig.
