Wonderland is a live duo featuring strong male and female lead vocals, virtuoso electric and acoustic guitar and mandolin, backed with the best digital backing tracks available, giving you a full band sound without the racket and expense of a full live band.
COVERS: Wonderland have a vast repertoire covering all eras and styles. Everything from Elvis to The Kings of Leon, Patsy Cline to Adele, Abba to The Killers, Jimmy Shand to The Proclaimers, Johnny Cash to Journey. With over 500 songs please check the repertoire page for regular updates. If your first song is not in their repertoire Wonderland will learn it for you. A lot of couples these days prefer to have the original CD played for their first dance - Wonderland will happily oblige.
CEILIDH: With caller to encourage your guests to join in and talk them through the steps. Typically for half-an-hour before the buffet but more or less can be played depending on your requirements
DJ: As your evening guests arrive, during the band's breaks and at the end of the night Wonderland will play suitable mixes to keep your guests entertained. They will also honour all of your requests - just email your playlist at least one month before your reception.
Wonderland specialise in Highland weddings but distance is no object, this being their full-time profession. Please get in touch for a highly competitive quote and complimentary wedding CD.
Wonderland are a fun and enthusiastic duo. They give you an amazing variety of music that will keep everyone dancing into the wee small hours.
Professionals since 1993 Wonderland have performed in most of the top hotels, Country House Estates and Castles in Scotland. This will be their eighth consecutive year playing at Lochaber's biggest Hogmanay party in the Nevis Centre, Fort William. This 1,500 capacity venue always sells out and this year will be broadcast live online.
Steve Brown is the band leader, singer/guitarist and your point of contact for all correspondence. Due to their high number of bookings (54 weddings alone in 2011, plus birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate functions, Xmas parties and the odd pub gig/rehearsal) Steve finds it best to work with a pool of professional female lead singers. The band performs as a duo with one of these experienced lead vocalists. In all their 18 years Wonderland have never missed or had to cancel any booking. Full-time musician Steve also teaches guitar and piano for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music exams, plays with Moving Pictures - a Rush tribute band www.movingpicturesuk.com and can also be booked as a solo performer www.stevebrownmusic.co.uk
Wonderland offer a personalised and contracted service, are members of the Musicians' Union, have £10,000,000 Public Liability insurance and all equipment is PAT certified - something all major venues and hotels insist upon. With enough notice Wonderland will learn whatever song you want for your first dance and will have any other songs you request ready for your evening.
Wonderland's repertoire is extensive - over 500 songs with new ones added weekly. Playing pop, rock, country, Scottish, ceilidh and disco. Something from every decade right up to the most recent releases. Their performances are smooth, professional, energetic and just as good as the original songs themselves. A vast range of music will ensure everyone has a good time. And as one bride mentioned "you don't play to entertain yourselves, you play to entertain the people who have come to celebrate the occasion".
Wonderland will give you an exciting party atmosphere and a great ceilidh as well. They also provide a professional light system and disco and use the state-of-the-art Bose L1 sound system. Definitely one of the few great all-round function bands.
