About / Biography

The Wayfarers have been playing together since 2011. Since the beginning, there has always been one ambition -- to entertain!


To experience them play live is like a wave of energy! Not only are you seeing 4 experienced and trained musicians, you are also seeing 4 good friends sharing a stage together. The chemistry between the the band enables them to entertain with ease, getting the audience involved with songs and making sure every last person is having a great night. The band can take songs on an improvised journey, as well as switching instruments and lead vocalists. The music on the night will take you on a journey through the ages. 50’s rock ‘n’ roll, funk and soul classics, rawkus indie rock and the latest pop hits, even a bit of hip hop! And all seamlessly blended together to keep the party moving.


Their trademark 3 part vocal harmonies will leave you stunned, and the clever twists and medleys in the arrangements will keep you on your toes, transforming songs you've known your whole life into something new and exciting.


The guys have also spent many years working as session musicians and producers, touring all over Europe playing festivals, arenas, and doing live radio and TV work. Some of the artists the band have worked with or shared the stage with are: Sean Paul, The libertines, Charli XCX, Boy George, Jamiroquai, Lethal Bizzle, Fuse ODG, Wretch 32, and John Newman. At some of the band's regular London residencies, you can walk in to find yourself in the middle of a wild, sweaty, euphoric party! With the whole club on the dance floor, sometimes including the bar staff and security! And that is just the sort of thing they will bring to your event!

The Wayfarers offer a fully acoustic roaming service with added saxophonist for ceremony, cocktails and evening celebrations.
