The Music

Q: How long do Redwood play for ?
A:  A standard Redwood gig is 2 and a half hours with a short break. But as with most things this can vary depending on the requirements for your event.

Q: When do you take your break ?
A:  This can depend on a number of elements, but usually we break when the hotel/venue are serving refreshments (usually after the first hour or so of our set), this allows people to relax and enjoy the food and drink before returning to the dance floor to dance the night away.

Q: How long does it take to set up ?
A: An hours set up time is recommended to insure no delays, but once we have your start time, we will work with the hotel/venue to ensure we are ready to start at your desired time.

Q: Is the music too loud ?
A:  No.  We are never afraid to turn down or up depending on the requirements of the venue, we set our volume levels to suit you, we wont be too loud or too quiet.

Q: Do we pick our own First Dance ?
A: Yes, we will play your choice of first dance. For inspiration, see our sample setlist for examples of first dances we have learned for couples in the past. If your choice of song isn’t on that list, don't worry, once you inform us of your choice at least 6 weeks before the event we will learn it.

Q. What genre of music to Redwood play ?
A. We play all genres, and have a varied setlist which includes: Rock, Pop, Soul, Country, Blues, Waltzes, Rock 'n' Roll and more..... If you have a favourite song (or songs) that's not on our sample setlist, let us know at least 2 months in advance and we'll learn it and play it for you. we want you to have a say in the setlist for your night, but also we've been doing this a long time and can recommend the type of set that will fill your dance floor!!

Q. Do Redwood play fully live ?
A. Yes, sadly in this day and age this is a common question. We feel a true authentic live sound is best and therefore refuse to use backing tracks or samples. What you get with Redwood is pure, quality live musicianship.

A. Our Line up: Vocals (all 5 members of the band sing), Acoustic Guitars, Electric Guitar, Banjo, Harmonica, Bass Guitar and Drums
