Wired played at our wedding in August for our evening celebrations. They learned and performed a first dance song of our choice. They were better than we could have imagined, the songs were great and got everyone dancing. The lead female vocalist has an amazing and powerful voice. We would 100% recommend them for a party/celebration.

I booked W!RED for the 3rd time in less than 12 months to host the entertainment for our Xmas party nights at Nailcote Manor. Once again W!RED brought the party. They tailored there set perfectly to suit the broad range of our guests and kept the dance floor full from start to finish. We have more bookings for the band throughout 2024 and can't wait to welcome them back

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We love every gig, from public events to intimate weddings. Our focus is on fun, and a standout was a raucous night in a large marquee for a Horse and Jockey Club - probably our largest, wildest crowd under one tent!

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

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We value our reputation highly, ensuring all our musicians are exceptional. We maintain high standards, guaranteeing a skilled, harmonious performance.

We are always flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If the timings change, just let us know.

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

Yes, and we are pleased to offer it at no additional cost. Whilst we don't provide a manned DJ service, we can arrange a DJ for your event if you wish.

How much time do you need to set up?

Typically, our setup takes 1 to 1.5 hours. Once the PA system is operational, we offer a complimentary playlist service to create the perfect ambience. This not only sets the tone for the event but also primes your guests for the exciting live performance that awaits them.

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

We engage in a collaborative process with our clients to custom-tailor your set lists as per your requests. Utilising our experience, we expertly curate a set that aligns with the unique atmosphere and theme of your event. Our goal is to ensure that the music resonates with your special occasion.

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

Yes, our PA, lighting system and sound engineer are included in your quote. We ideally need a 4m by 4m performance area.
