Wild Bees
A happy lively fun saxophone-based duo of sax and guitar (and occasionally double bass and keyboards as well); playing unique instrumental or vocal versions of well known much loved tunes, both old and new.
Perfect as smooth background music or more prominent, at weddings, restaurants, pubs, clubs, wakes, parties, corporate-events, festivals, anniversaries - anywhere!
Based in Henley On Thames, Oxfordshire
We like a minimum performance space of 3m x 2m if possible, two parking spaces and a couple of 13 amp mains sockets, though we can bring our own electricity for outdoor events. NOT a noisy, smelly generator!
Yes, we are completely self contained with our own PA system.
We require accurate directions to find the venue, contacts there and where to load in and out our equipment.
We are happy to play music from Spotify between sets, from the client's playlist if required.
We arrive well in advance of the performance to allow plenty of time to setup and do a soundcheck. For pubs, clubs and parties we find 2 x 45 minute sets work well for us and the audience, but can extend that if required. Weddings are a different matter, and we are very happy to fit in with what's needed, playing when required and move around using our portable sound equipment. For example, playing on the lawn for the drinks reception as the guests arrive, then moving indoors to play background music during the meal. We like to give our clients exactly what they want.
We love playing outside and our only requirement is shelter if it's really hot or raining. We have our own portable power supply for the PA, (NOT a noisy, smelly generator!), so can be really flexible about where we play, and can move around as required by the situation.
We are happy to provide our song list to clients in advance so they may choose their favourites, and if they have a song that's particularly special to them we will work on a Wild Bees version.
