Hi there- we are Wonder of Uke, and we’re ready to bring those fun summer vibes to help you get up your party started in style! We’re sure to get your guests foot-tapping, hand-clapping and singing-along as we roam around performing a set packed full of classic tunes, modern songs and musical mashups. Our repertoire covers a huge range, with must-have 50s & 60s classics from the likes of Dean Martin and The Beatles, through to 70s Disco divas such as Sister Sledge and Abba, via the powerhouse of Music that was the 1980s, onto the best of 90s Brit Pop such as Oasis and Spice Girls, right up to modern day choice picks from the likes of Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa, with a sprinkling of wrap and reggae thrown in along the way! There’s sure to be something for everyone at your party, wedding or event. And with lineup options from a duo up to a five piece, there’s something to suit every budget, too. With a range of costume colours and themes, we will work with you to fit in with a style of your event, and we’re happy to tailor our set to see your musical tastes. We are an all-female band featuring talented musicians, singing and playing a variety of instruments including the ukulele, banjolele, guitar, trumpet, saxophone, drums and even a kazoo or two! Our impressive professional credits include vocals, live band and album recordings with Bryan Ferry, Michael Buble, Eric Clapton, Roger Taylor, Lulu, Will Young, Patti Boulay, Gina G and Procol Harum. We have performed at various high profile venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Palace Theatre, The Ritz, The Dorchester and Windsor Castle and they have sung for the likes of Cherie & Tony Blair, Richard Branson, Jamie Oliver, Chris Evans and the King of Sweden. Our clients include easyJet, Dulux, Cherie Blair Charity Foundation, Royal Ascot, Windsor Racecourse, Somerset House and Westfield. With audience participation, blended harmonies and quality musicianship, your guests are sure love our lively and fun party starting sets - the perfect way to kick off your corporate or charity event, add a sparkle of glamour to racedays and festivals, spread the joy and good vibes at your wedding reception, surprise colleagues at the office or in an icebreaker situation, and bring the good times as your guests arrive at your party, getting them ready to party from minute one! Calling all lovebirds! We offer a special service for weddings - as well as our fun roaming sets, we can also provide live music during your ceremony, with a small PA if required. Have you ever dreamt of re-creating the Love Actually scene where Keira Knightley is surprised by musicians popping up to perform the Beatles classic All You Need is Love? Well, your dreams can become a reality! We have done this at several weddings and it always goes down a storm, and provides a unique and memorable moment for you and your guests on your big day.

Wonder of Uke were the perfect booking. They lead a procession from the pub to the venue where we were getting married and it lent such a joyful air to the occasion. They performed all our requests with aplomb and the guests really enjoyed their playing. Anna communicated brilliantly and professionally.

Hi Anna and Elkie, Wendy and I would like to say how fantastic you all were at our wedding on Friday. We had such an amazing day. One all the most memorable moments was when we first turned up to the pub and everybody was there to greet us and you were playing. We have had lots of people ask where we found you so we have passed on your information to them. Hope you do not mind. Thank you all again so much. Love, James and Wendy Russell xx

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

That would have to be the delight and surprise on their guests faces as we start making our way around performing to them! It's also great when a guests requests a certain song and we are able to play it for them.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Royal Ascot Racecourse Royal Windsor Racecourse Newmarket Racecourse Sandowne Racecourse Syon House The Grove, Watford Spencer House Oxnead Hall The Orangery Maidstone Dodmoor House Gildings Barn Wasing Park Bruisyard Hall Mixbury Hall Design Centre Chelsea Westfield shopping centres Boat parties on the Thames

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

We love music of all sorts - mostly we love finding surprising songs that our clients aren't expecting an all-female acoustic band to place, such as Gangsters Paradise!

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

We performed at a Cherie Blair Foundation for Women event at the beautiful Syon House, with Cherie and Tony Blair in attendance as well as some other (secret!) celeb guests!

Do you have different line-up options?

We sure do! Our line up options are as follows; Duo - 2 x ukulele/singer OR 1 x ukulele/singer & 1 x percussion/singer Trio - duo plus brass (trumpet or sax) or percussion Four piece - duo plus (trumpet or sax) and percussion Five piece - duo plus trumpet, sax and percussion

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

No problem at all, we always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event, just let us know. If things change on the day, we'll always just let you know the latest time we can stay until, then we can rejig things with you on the day.

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

As we are a roaming band, we don't offer this but if you decide to go for a non roaming set and you want us to provide a PA, we will absolutely make sure there is background music on in the breaks.

How much time do you need to set up?

Not a lot at all - that is one of the beauties of a roaming band! We just need a bit of time to check out the area and get changed. We will always arrive in good time so you're not stressing and you know we are there will in advance of our set time.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes - this is what we do best! :-)

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have the most amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event and get an idea of the kinds of songs you like and don't like.

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

No -it is not necessary for roaming set but is available as an add on.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Sure can - if there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you, as long as we have at least four weeks notice. If it is a really bespoke arrangement, there may be an additional cost for this to cover any additional rehearsal time.
