Home Base: Sheffield

So you are looking for an experienced band to make your party go with a swing and have never booked a band before? Redback has been performing for over 20 years at weddings, birthday parties, office parties, corporate events and fund-raising and charity calls, playing music that get the guests dancing and having a good time.

If you are worried that booking a band means a lot more work and that you will have a bunch of difficult rock stars to deal with here is what we do and how we do it:

When you contact us to arrange your event we will discuss your needs. We have a flexible sound and lighting system that can accommodate everything from small intimate gatherings to large halls. We will also discuss how much live music you need and how it will fit around and complement other activities you have planned such as a meal or presentations.

We will take care of liaising with your chosen venue and your event organiser to agree where Redback will set-up, access times, event timings, parking etc.

We stay in contact during your event preparations and are always on call to offer advice and experience on first dances, special requests, speeches etc.

We prefer to arrive at least an hour before the party starts to set up all our lighting and sound equipment.

We normally play 2 x 45 minute sets of live music during an evening (or daytime), PLUS we can put on all the music in between sets from our iPod playlists – so no need for a DJ!

We play songs from James Brown, The Beatles, Stones, the Supremes classics to the Talking Heads, Bowie and much more (see set-lists and sound files ).

In between sets our iPod play lists include Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Plan B to Wham and Abba to The Arctic Monkeys and MC Hammer! We can play your iPod playlist too.

We have no ‘Diva' style requests – no hot meals on arrival, dressing rooms, drinks, etc.

At the event you will have enough to do dealing with last minute hitches without worrying about the band. We will take all the pain and uncertainty away and allow you to concentrate on your guests and enjoy the event!

We have full public liability insurance.

Redback have played at some great parties and we like to think we have contributed to their success and now we want to play at your event! For more details see our Contact page or call Phil or Sue on (0114) 236 3331for details of our competitive prices.
