Roll up, roll up, read all about it! Staffordshire wedding band kill the dance floor! Well that SHOULD have been the headline on the novelty newspaper in the video. But of course, the newspaper was produced before HARD TO HANDLE WEDDING BAND took the stage to perform at the wedding reception of Antonia and Rich at Sandon Hall, Staffordshire, and as all good conspiracy theorists know and armchair detectives know, it’s important to establish a timeline of events when investigating an event.
This event was well planned. Bride and groom hired us as their Staffordshire wedding band over a year in advance after having sampled the goods – our massive 350+ song multi-genre playlist: https://hardtohandleband.co.uk/playlist/ . They also took the opportunity to review recommendations from other brides and groom on our video review page: https://hardtohandleband.co.uk/reviews/ . They knew we were the suitable partners in crime for this particular caper, so fully tooled up, they got down to the important business of selecting songs for us to perform. As you might expect from an operation with this level of organisation, Antonia and Rich were very specific about the songs they wanted to hear as it was important that we killed the dance floor:
