Wedding Band for Hire - Weddings and Party

Welcome to the Red Stripe Band’s home on the web.
You have arrived in the right place if you want to make sure that the live entertainment for your wedding and party will make a perfect end to the most important day of your life – so far!
More than just a band!!
We have developed an entertaining and engaging live stage show over the last fifteen years which has been described as “Jools Holland on speed”
If you want a band to play everything from Abba to Robbie Williams then DON’T book us!
However if you want good time party music which appeals to all ages and a fun entertaining show with on and off stage antics which will have your guests up dancing and getting down  - then fill in the form on the “contact us” page to enquire about our availability.
We deliver our show, just like Jools Holland, using foot stomping boogie woogie, swing, jive, ska and rock and roll which makes for a memorable evening.

When you book us you will get:

• Red Stripe (otherwise known as Neil Drinkwater) - on piano and vocals – he will be jumping on the piano stool and the piano given half a chance
• The lovely Gemma Nelson – on vocals (Stars in their eyes finalist and West End dancer)
• Martin Gray – tenor saxophone – you will see him getting down on and off stage
• The beautiful Erica Clarke – wielding an enormous baritone sax - she will get amongst you during the evening to help with the dancing
• Mike Nicholls – the “professional” on Trumpet
• Our rock steady rhythm section – Steve Djurovich and Ed Williams

We have played at hundreds of weddings over the years at home and abroad and you can read what our happy clients say about us on the right hand side of this page.

We have inserted a little video clip on each page of this site but there are many more video clips, pictures and sound bites on our sites as follows:

Practical info.
We come completely self contained with all equipment and lights (full details provided on enquiry). If staging is required then this is usually supplied by the venue.
We also provide recorded music during our breaks which means that the cost of a DJ is saved. You can tailor make your own playlist to include all your favourites in the order you want them played.
We will usually set up after the speeches but before the evening reception begins but we can, by arrangement, set up before the day begins.
Our equipment can be fully ready within 45 minutes but we guarantee to have recorded music playing within 15 minutes of being given access to the playing area.

As a guide our prices range from £1,200-£2,200 which depends on a number of variables such as the day of the week, the time of the year, the travelling distance from London (where we are based) and the size of the band so PLEASE give us all that information below and we will get back to you with a precise figure.

We look forward to hearing from you and making your day complete.

Best wishes

Red Stripe
