Stunning Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire has three distinctions – two pretty major, one little more modest. Distinction number one is that it is widely known in the spooky world of ghost hunters as one of the most haunted castles in the British Isles. Grey ladies, children playing, ghostly footsteps, when it comes to the paranormal, Clearwell Castle has it all. Distinction number two is that it was the favourite haunt of many 1970s rock bands looking for a uniquely atmospheric place to record. Queen, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and more produced amazing, iconic music at the venue.

The third distinction is a little more modest – Clearwell Castle has hosted wedding performances by none other than Gloucestershire wedding band HARD TO HANDLE on several occasions. And while we may not be as huge as the aforementioned rock leviathans, we certainly entertain wedding guests with the same energy levels. That’s no idle boast – one look at our fast paced, frenetic performance videos shows you that we have a passion for performing. In a 2 hours of live band music we do our level best to ensure every one of your guests are entertained. Our philosophy is a simple one – play instantly recognisable dancefloor-friendly music all night, and jump around like lunatics.
It’s a winning formula – if your wedding guests can see that we are relaxed and enjoying ourselves, there’s a very good chance that they will enjoy themselves, too. We don’t care if we end the night as hot seat messes with hoarse voices and various aching body parts, because we know that come the next morning you will all be feeling the same! You will have spent five or more hours on the dance floor, jumping around and throwing mad shapes to our mix of rock, indie, pop and more, with our DJ raising the roof during our breaks with more of the same plus dance anthems and Ibiza classics – or not – because it’s all about you and your musical tastes, so you get to decide what we play in our band sets, and you also get to decide what our DJ mixes.
Far too many Gloucestershire wedding bands think it’s all about them – they decide what music to play, they decide how long they will play for and what they do on the night. Sure, they may take a cursory look at your song requests, but they probably won’t play more than a couple. And if they do, they will more than likely want to charge you extra for each song request they play. Also, as you may have discovered if you have received quotes from more than one Gloucester wedding band, you will almost always be charged extra for a DJ music service. Often this amounts to little more than a preloaded Spotify playlist which leaves no facility for guests to request songs on the night, especially when the musicians have left the room and can be found propping up the bar or with their heads in the buffet, first in the queue, having pushed in front of your guests.
