The Redfords, Wedding Band ~ New {www} Sponsor

The Redfords are an awesome entertainment act perfect for any event, but best of all they are perfect for getting your wedding reception party started. In my opinion you cannot beat live music, it creates an atmosphere like no other, and The Redfords have the experience and talent to get your guests dancing away all night….

{w} Hi The Redfords, could you firstly tell {www} readers a little bit about you?

The Redfords are a live five piece bespoke rock/pop party band. Their set is lively, exciting and dynamic and is regularly updated with current songs. In particular, the band have spent a great deal of time and effort tailoring shows to suit weddings and corporate events. Featuring musicians of the highest standard, with several years experience within the music industry, The band has invested heavily in the highest quality instruments and sound equipment.

Their extensive and varied setlist caters for all ages and musical tastes including classic songs by The Beatles The Rolling Stones, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon plus many, many more! So can be absolutely sure that guests of all ages will be up dancing and singing all night! First dance can be learnt free of charge.

Clients can choose from 2 x 45 minute sets, 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets. with record music or DJ option between.

The Redfords always dress and perform formally in black tie. They feel that personal presentation and projection is a very important part of the overall performance and should display a clean stylish look with a positive but not bullish image.

Additionally or alternatively, the band can provide an acoustic Duo or Trio, specifically tailored for wedding ceremonies drinks receptions or during dinner. Able to provide music for every scenario, from a low key acoustic set, or a full on rock’n’ roll spectacular!

{w} What do you love/dislike about your job?

{w} How did you get into performing and into the wedding industry?

The Redfords met and formed in London 2004. All members are professional musicians.

Matthew the musical director and guitarist started his career at the American Guitar Institute and within 6 months of graduating at 19 was signed to Universal Records. He arena toured America and the UK supporting The Who, Neil Young, Nickelback, Wheatus, and The Wallflowers and has performed with Elton John, Robbie Williams, Holly Valance, Minnie Driver and has played to live audiences in excess of 20,000.

{w} Do you have any tips for couples in selecting bands?

Apart from the obvious things like checking what the price doesn’t include (many won’t include for learning first dance, disco between sets, rider, food & drink, waiting time, early set up, travel, lighting….) … check how often they perform for weddings, will their choice of music be suitable for your eclectic guest list, what do they do in case of sickness, is there equipment of good quality, tested and safe, do they carry insurance, Then having chosen a band that you like the sound of look beyond the facade to the musicians who will be performing in front of you. This group of individuals will be in control of the last 3 or 4 hours of the most important day of your life to date. What sort of people are they?

{w} Do you offer any extra services?

We were aware that at some weddings we were asked to start the dancing quite early on in the evening and in some cases directly after wedding breakfast. This is both too soon and in our opinion a waste of the clients money. At this stage in the proceedings a lot of the evening guest will not have arrived yet alone had time to soak up any atmosphere (or refreshment !!) Those sitting to dine will want to stretch their legs and ming for a while.

{w} How can we get in touch with you?

Best way to contact The redfords is either direct by telephone 07711 432598 (txt if you think we are performing) or by email on info@theredfords.com we normally answer within the hour.

Thanks so much to The Redfords!! Do go and visit their site, and listen to their amazing music. If you make an enquiry be sure to mention {www}. I’ll be back tomorrow with my usual diary entry 😉 enjoy the remainder of your Saturday lovelies xoxo
