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

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