Wedding band

Public liability insurance of £10 million

WINNERS AT THE WEDDING INDUSTRY AWARDS 3 YEARS IN A ROW! Best Live Band in Yorkshire & the North East 2022, 2021 & 2020. We're proud to say we were also highly commended by the judges, who are highly talented musicians themselves, so this one means a lot to us! We're a real Yorkshire wedding band, which means we cut the cheese and put our heart and soul into each and every event. If you're looking for a more traditional performance then you're in the wrong place. No more matching ties and boring ballads, we play live music by the best artists from the last 60 years and our live sets are one long high-energy performance. If you're looking for a wedding band in Yorkshire, or anywhere in the UK, drop us a line to enquire about booking us for your big event and we'll get right back to you with our price and availability. Although we play at loads of weddings, we perform at all sorts of events. If there is any partying involved, count us in! WEDDINGS The big day is our thing, and we love it! We've performed at hundreds over the years. We know what makes guests tick and we can help organise things to perfection. Ensure you and your wedding party have the night of your lives! PARTIES There's always an excuse for a party and we won't judge you for that. Whether it's a special celebration, a 40th birthday party, or an 80th... you make it happen and we'll make sure the room is bouncing from the get-go. CORPORATE EVENTS We've been lucky enough to work with great organisations - The Royal Air Force, RBS, Dixons Carphone, BAE Systems, Grosvenor and KFC to name a few, and we're specialists when it comes to getting the office crowd on the dance floor. ABOUT US We're Warning Tones, a 4-piece wedding and events band based in Sheffield and Doncaster. We all love performing and we definitely feel like we're living the dream getting to rock out for a living. It's been almost a decade since we first met and became a band and it's been great fun from there on in. As you might guess we're all massively into music. When we aren't playing at events you can usually find us teaching guitar, bass and drums at Amped Up Music Academy in Doncaster, which means we get to play our instruments all day, every day! Our goal in life is to have as much fun on stage as possible. We realised a long time ago that when we're enjoying ourselves, everyone enjoys themselves, so sometimes we go a little bit crazy, but the good news is if you go crazy with us then we don't look weird! THE BAND Warning Tones’ 4-piece live band package consists of two hours of ultra high-energy tunes to get your guests up on that dance floor. We usually perform 2 sets of 60 minutes, but we are flexible with the length of our sets so we can fit things perfectly with your schedule. All of our band quotes include: – Top-quality speaker system and lighting rig – A special live song request or first dance performed live – £10m public liability insurance and PAT-tested gear – Customise your own set list from our set list page We don’t have fixed prices online so we can remain as competitive as possible, but it only takes 30 seconds to get a price for your event! REPERTOIRE We've spent almost a decade refining our set list of the coolest indie, rock and pop tunes from the 50s to the present day. We play songs that have been tried and tested to fill the dance floor at every event and there's something for everyone in our repertoire - it's not unusual to see every generation up on the dance floor at our events, which is exactly where they should be. OUR SETUP Venues are often surprised at the amount of gear we have - that's because we don't cut corners when it comes to our performance. We use only top-quality audio and lighting equipment to make sure everything looks and sounds absolutely top-notch. We bring everything we could possibly need for your event, so all we need from you are a handful of plug sockets - super low maintenance! We'll even take care of all your venue's requirements - our equipment is PAT Tested and we're covered for £10m in Public Liability Insurance. (Good to know: our equipment can fit into a space that's 4m wide x 3.5m deep.) DJ PACKAGE Alongside our live performance, we also offer a full DJ Package. Our DJ works in harmony with us and can take requests for all your favourite tunes both beforehand and on the night. We only use quality gear, the same as if you hired an independent DJ, so we can keep your guests on the dance floor all night long. ACOUSTIC SET Our full band strips back to a duo for our acoustic set. Two voices, two guitars and a ukulele – and a whole extra hour of live music. It’s fantastic for a little more chilled-out music and works great during meals, guest arrivals, ceremonies or drinks receptions – or just any time you need to keep your guests that little bit more entertained. REVIEWS We've spent years building our reputation as one of the hardest-working wedding bands Yorkshire has to offer. A nice relaxed weekend off? No chance, we're outperforming every week. If we aren't passing out by the end of the night we've failed you - our clients get 100% every time and we make sure of it. Check out our testimonials from events all across the UK. We regularly perform in Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Hull, York, Huddersfield and Doncaster and we can assure you that you won't find a higher-rated band for hire anywhere else.

We just want to say how amazing you guys were at our wedding at the Woodstock on Saturday! The warning tones are the best band hands down, they were worth every penny for live music along with the dj package. The whole dance floor was packed and everyone commented on how great the evening music was! We had the absolute best wedding and having live music just topped it off. You got everyone involved, the music was great and we can't thank you enough! Thank you again so much! Mr and Mrs House

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

No gimmicks, just energy, enthusiasm and a passion for music that ensures your guests will be spilling onto your dancefloor from the very first song - and right through to the end of the night. Guaranteed to rev up any crowd and if we are not completely exhausted by the end of our set we've not done our job.

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 do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Vocals, Drums, Guitar, and Bass. Warning Tones also perform an acoustic duo that is a great addition if you’d like some more chilled entertainment a little earlier in the day.

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

If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know. We're flexible with our set lengths and timings so we can ensure our performance compliments your event perfectly.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set, we can provide this as an add-on. Please get in touch for more info!

How much time do you need to set up?

It takes us around an hour to fully set up and sound check our equipment. It then takes us around 20 minutes to get changed and warm up our voices, and just generally prepare so that nothing goes awry!

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

This is totally up to you. We write a personalised set list for all our events, usually including the songs we know go down the best everywhere we go, but you’re free to have as much input on this as you want!

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

All bookings come with a full PA and Lighting rig, suitable for 300 guests. We usually say we need 4m (width) x 3.5m (depth) to setup, but we can often fit into smaller spaces than this. If you think the space at your venue is smaller than our recommendation, get in touch and we’ll let you know if we can squeeze in.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We’re more than happy to learn and perform your first dance free of charge if it's your wedding you are booking for - if not we're happy to take a 'special song request' for any random track you can think of, as we can usually arrange almost anything to suit the bands' instruments and playing style.
