Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take requests?

Yes! Feel free to tell us your favourites from our repertoire, and we’re happy to learn one special request for each event. This could be a first dance, a song to play the bride down the aisle, or your favourite song to close your party!

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

We bring our standard PA and lights to every show at no extra cost. If you already have a sound system we’re happy to use it, but if you don’t, then you don’t need to hire any extra equipment for us.

We just want quiet background music so our guests can chat. Can you do that?

We’re happy to play as quietly as you like. We adjust our volume and setlist to make sure we’re appropriate for each setting.

We don’t want quiet background music, we want loud and exciting! Do you do that too?

Absolutely! Our standard PA system goes all the way from conversation volume to rock concert. Consider booking us as a trio or four piece band to get your guests on the dance floor!

Our venue has a noise limiter, can we still book you?

We’re highly experienced in dealing with noise limiters, and we’ve never had a problem with one. Put us in contact with your venue and we’ll make sure we have all of the relevant information to plan around it.

What happens before/between/after your sets?

Anything you like! We can play pre-mixed playlists – either ours or something you send us in advance – or hand over to your DJ. We also offer a DJ upgrade, where a band member will select and mix tracks as well as take requests.

Can you play outside?

So long you can provide power (and a plan B in case of inclement weather), we can play anywhere you’d like us. We’re also happy to play as a busking or roaming guitar/vocal duo.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes, we’re happy to provide certificates on request.

Do we need to provide food and drinks?

Our standard rider is soft drinks and a hot meal for each musician, or a £15pp buyout.

We have something unique planned, can we talk to you about how you can fit into our vision for the event?

We’d love to hear from you! Use our contact form or email us at info@wanderingwest.co.uk to talk to us about what we can do for your event. We can accommodate most requests, and in the rare cases that we can’t help, we’ll refer you to someone who can.
