How do we know you will put on a good show?
Unless you've seen and heard the band perform - You don't!
However, you can hear 1 Hit Wonders play some sample songs here »»
All I can assure you is that; we are all experienced and professional musicians, somebclassically trained, some of us have played with name bands, orchestras and in West End musicals... We put one heck of a lot of effort in to our show.
One Hit wonders was formed in 2009 by bassist Tim Long and percussionist Steve Wyse who sort the best musicians and performers in their home county of Kent - "It was a struggle to get everyone onboard... We did it, and as well as enjoying playing as a band, One Hit Wonders have become close friends". What areas do you cover?
We are happy to play anywhere in Europe! The band is based in Southeast London and Kent. For venues more than 3 hours journey time from London, we do charge a fee for the overnight accommodation of 7 people. Can we hire you via an entertainment agency?
You can! The band 1 Hit Wonders are represented by two entertainments agencies, one in London, one in Kent. We reckon that by finding this page, you know what you're looking for, you've done your homework and viewed other artist's websites, then concluded that LotD play the music that you and you're guests will all enjoy. Booking direct saves around 15%-20%. What sound and lighting equipment will you bring?
The band supplies a high quality 3Kw Electro-Voice PA system and 8 x Par 64 LED spotlight rig (low power consuption - we won't blow any fuses) which is suitable for function rooms/small halls - up to 500 guests. We can supply a larger sound system with extra lighting plus engineers - cost depends on size of venue. Contact us for a quote. Booking costs?
It is difficult to give a quote without knowing a little about your event. Many things affect the cost of hiring the band including size and location of the venue, the length of time you would like us to play and any extra sound system/lighting etc., we'll need to bring.
Our aim is to give your guests the best entertainment and to work within your budget. Contact us now and we will be more than pleased to provide you with a no-obligation quote for your next function or event. What functions will 1 Hit Wonders play?
The band performs at a wide variety of venues from pubs and small function rooms to stately homes, theatres, halls etc. We also will play in a marquee or outside, undercover... weather permitting. What size stage does the band need?
We can squeeze onto a smallish stage if need be but it does affect our ability to perform. A performance area - it doesn't necessarily need to be a stage - of 20ft x 14ft is generally adequate..
How long do you need to set up?
Our basic set up generally takes just under an hour. In larger venues where we have extra sound and lighting equipment, we would prefer 2-3 hours. Band booking & contracts?
As a token of goodwill and your commitment to your event, we require an advance fee of 25%. If for any reason you need to cancel, provided you give us at least 14 days notice then your deposit will be refunded. Less than 14 days and no refund will be made. Parking?
Band members live in different parts of London and Kent, and although we share vehicles, we do need parking for 3 vehicles - one van and two cars.
