Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We have performed at many venues and enjoy small or large crowds. We have had some amazing gigs and met some amazing people along the way so picking one favourite is difficult. We are one of the resident bands at the Bierkeller in Worcester and we feel like part of the family there so that’s one of them.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The '70s and '80s were the best music eras in our opinion. One of our favourite artists from this era has to be Madonna. Hit after hit they just kept coming . Another favourite artist has to be Micheal Jackson.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We all started gigging at 17/18 years of age. Two of us were signed artists in those early days. Many years later we all got together to form W!RED. We’ve been together for many years and have done hundreds of gigs but it’s the friendship that has shone through. It doesn't feel like we are at work when we gig as it’s still just 4 mates having a great time making music.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love playing at all events but weddings are special because of the first dance. It always brings a tear to our eyes and it’s most satisfying having learnt it and it to be so special. Having said that, it’s also the most nerve-racking!


How long have you been together

We have been together as musicians? Andi, Martin and Phil have been together for over 6 years. Sue joined us over 4 years ago and we’ve recently joined forces with Helen who has significant experience and has opened for esteemed artists including The Real Thing and Sir Joe Longthorne.


Can we do requests

We can but we would need advance notice. We use the latest technology for playback of our sets so it’s not ideal for us to do requests during a show. We feel this can upset the vibe and we don’t want to lose people from the dance floor. We can sometimes add a request in at the end of the night.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Depending on access we will require at least 1.5/2 hours from arrival to set up & soundcheck. Performance times are reasonably flexible.

2x 45 minute sets +encores
2x 1 hour sets +encores
3x 40 minute sets +encores


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we are happy to perform outside as long as there is adequate cover from the dreaded rain and a staging area that is nice and flat. All electrics must be to code and safe. Obviously, we would prefer not to play outside in the winter.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs as long as they fall in the singer's vocal range for a small charge. We normally ask clients to pick 5 songs they love and leave the rest to us. This way we can make sure we have a setlist that runs smoothly and keeps people engaged.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We only have one description from our clients, 5 STARS all round!


How long do we perform

We have a few options on performance times
2x45 mins
2x60 mins
3x40 mins
1x 45 mins
