About Willow Street Band

Bored with bands that look like the Peaky Blinders playing Ed Sheeran covers. We are something different.
Party band
Saint Leonards-on-sea
Public liability insurance of £1 million

"Simply the greatest and most versatile band you will see outside of Wembley Stadium. Stomping beats, stunning vocals and jaw dropping guitar playing. All totally live. A fun set of tunes that cover a broad spectrum from rock'n roll to club classics."

Best thing ever. We did a 60's night and these guys were amazing. We did not have much room so hired them as they are just a little duo. They bantered with the crowed and made it all so fun. + that guitarist is a bit tasty :-) Would highly recommend.

These guys are great :-) They set up before a unveiling at a modern art show. I asked for them to make something up just for us and they improvised something on the spot. It was great, so wish I recorded it. To be honest I only booked them because the guitarist coust my eye but sooooo glad I did.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

People love our friendly and funny banter. Our special relationship brings joy and laughs to many of our event guests. We like to keep things light and entertaining and get people up and dancing and involved in any way we can. Another example of what people love most is our unique versions of covers, Bruce’s amazing guitar skills and Andi’s voice.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We are so lucky to be out gigging every week! We’ve played everywhere from gardens and fields to pubs and even swanky hotels. We’ve had to build our own stage before we’ve played before and on the other end of the scale played on a huge festival stage. We love any and all venues and always find a way to make the space work for us.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

We absolutely love listening to music old and new. We’re both very into classic rock and blues as well as new and current music, anything with live instruments and a good beat. Bruce’s guitar solos have often been likened to Hendrix and Van Halen. Andi has also been inspired by the great diva singers of the past as well as newer vocalists such as Lady Gaga!

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

We’re not sure what you would class as high profile but we’ve had the pleasure of playing at corporate events at hotels such as the Hilton in London as well as some lovely weddings such as a recent one at a lovely big Taproom in Ashford. We’ve also played at a few festivals such as Foodies and carry on Campout.

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

Yes

Do you have different line-up options?

Nope we are a unique 2 piece. The biggest best sounding small band on earth. The lineup is an integral part of the act.

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

This would normally be fine just please let us know as soon as you can.

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

Yes of course! We do this all the time.

How much time do you need to set up?

We need at least 1 hour to make sure we’re set up and sounding great for you.

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

Yes you can, you’re also welcome to give us some suggestions. If we have the time to learn new songs for you we will always try! We’ve had a great time learning some of our clients favourites even if it wasn’t something we wouldn’t have normally chosen so feel free to ask and we’ll see what we can do for you!

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

We bring PA so we have everything we need to sound great for you. If you have additional lighting requirements please let us know.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

This can be done if we are given enough time and notice. Please just note that it will be an epic Willow Street Band version! Making songs our own is what we do best as you can tell from our promo videos. If you want us to learn a song for your 1st dance then there will be an additional charge. Just ask for a quote :-)
