The Hired Guns' Reviews

5 out of 5

What a band! Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Paul was fantastic on the piano during our ceremony, setting the tone perfectly for the day. Si’s acoustic set during our drinks reception was brilliant, creating such a wonderful atmosphere, and the evening performances from Paul (this time on saxophone!), Si, Lloyd, Guy and Steve were simply phenomenal! These guys are unbelievably talented musicians and performers, and utterly professional throughout. The energy, quality and atmosphere they brought to our wedding were second to none. We had so many compliments from our guests, and the dance floor was packed all evening! Every single one of them was outstanding, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. The talent, chemistry and sheer quality of their performances were unbelievable. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better band. They absolutely smashed every part of the day and helped make our wedding truly unforgettable.

The Hired Guns played throughout our wedding day - the ceremony, the drinks reception & the evening. They also performed a roaming set from the ceremony area to the reception which was a highlight. They were amazing and we could not recommend them enough. Very professional and accommodating, and Si's communication was excellent - the most responsive of all our suppliers. The venue manager also commented on how friendly they were to their staff. And the music was simply awesome - 10/10!

The Hired Guns were amazing! Really built and kept the atmosphere up and were super helpful in the run up, even when the venue asked for last minute changes. Genuinely amazing! So much personalisation on offer and so kind to work with.

Could not recommend these guys highly enough. They were incredible on the night, easy to work with throughout and so accommodating. The energy they brought to our wedding was incredible. They really were superb and more than we could have asked for! Thank you!

Si & The Hired Guns were simply fantastic! Si's voice and musicianship are second to none. He has an incredible ability to adapt his voice to suit a wide variety of musical styles, making every song feel authentic and engaging. We had several musicians at our wedding, and every one of them said this wasn't just the best wedding band they'd ever experienced, it was one of the best live bands they'd seen, period. Hiring Si & The Hired Guns for your event is an absolute no-brainer. They were the highlight of our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for celebrating with us on our special day. You totally rocked it and we were both over the moon. The first dance was EPIC thank you!! We received such great feedback from our guests - they loved it as much as we did so here's hoping we can recommend The Hired Guns for future weddings! Thanks for being such a big part of our day. Abbi and Will xx

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Superb musicianship, full dancefloor, great setlist, energetic on stage performance.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

See our "Meet the Hired Guns" video for a list of all the artists and venues we've played with and at previously. We've also played 1000s of functions between us so you can add a huge number of wedding and party venues to that list, too!

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We have 3 different singers in The Hired Guns as shown in our promotional videos and you can choose which play at your event (subject to availability at time of booking). These are the only singers that play for us.

Do you have different line-up options?

We offer the following standard line-ups: 3-PIECE: singing guitarist, bassist and drummer 4-PIECE: as above plus your choice of a second singing guitarist, saxophone or piano/keyboard 5-PIECE: as above plus your choice of any 2 from a second singing guitarist, saxophone or piano/keyboard

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We understand timings can change and things sometimes need to be flexible. Luckily, we're super flexible and happy to work with you to fit event timings - even on the night if necessary!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We always provide a free, software DJ service every time we play. This means we'll play music before, between and after we play until the agreed cut-off time to avoid any awkward silences! We have great contacts for superb live DJs should you want to add this as an option.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually require an hour to set up, soundcheck and be ready to play. We always discuss our reqirements and all other details with you before the big day during our "final call" which we arrange for around a month prior to the event.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We'll provide you with a setlist that we know works well, but also an extended repertoire from which to choose so we can make sure to cater to you and your guests' tastes. Full details will be discussed on our "final call" which we arrange for around a month prior to the event.

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

Our quotes include fully insured PA and lighting equipment required for your event, complete with safety certificates we can forward to your venue. The Hired Guns are covered for £10million of Public Liability, too, so rest assured this is all in hand.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We will always learn a first dance or special request where possible free of charge. We can accommodate additional specific song requests but please inquire before booking.
