Unplugged

Overview

Recreate the legendary BBC Radio One Live Lounge by booking the equally legendary Unplugged for your wedding or event.

The two lads who make up this band have a list of credits as long as your arm having toured the world with major stars, performed alongside Holywood's Kevin Costner and played and sang on movie soundtracks and countless TV adverts, movie and TV show soundtracks.

 

Now settled down in the lovley south west of England to record and spend time with their young families, the boys now have the time to indulge in their first love, performing live.

Unplugged are the perfect addition to your wedding day or corporate event. Here are some wedding options they'd like you to consider;

Performing acoustically at the Ceremony...
- play as guests arrive
- perform during the signing of the register, a song of client's choice
- play as Bride/Groom exit with guests
- (optional) perform a song of client's choice as Bride walks down the aisle.
We can learn a new song , or client can choose from our songlist.

Performing acoustically during Drinks & Photographs...
Entertain client's guests as they mingle and socialise while the bride & groom and their friends/families are having photographs taken. (60 min)

At the Wedding Breakfast...
Playing subtle, acoustic versions of the songs on our song list, creating a relaxing atmosphere while the Wedding Breakfast is served to client's guests. (60 min)
Early Evening...
As guests arrive for an evening reception, let us entertain and provide an ambient welcome, before handing over to client's full band or DJ. (60 min)
We can also play for client's first dance if they choose.

Full Evening...
Play for client's First Dance, then giving 2 x 50 minute performances, integrated with client's DJ, going through to the end of the evening. If client doesn't have a DJ / disco we can provide recorded music for dancing or background between our performances, we can also include client's own iPod/Mp3 player if they'd like to hear their own favourite playlists when we are not playing.

 

Unplugged may well be the only live music you need and when it's of this incredibly high quality and represents such superb value for money, you may well find it's the second best decision you've ever made!

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure Unplugged, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with Unplugged and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with Unplugged around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for Unplugged. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from Unplugged and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm Unplugged's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
