We LOVE song requests! There – we’ve said it. We have outed ourselves. Unlike sooooo many other bands advertising themselves as appropriate for wedding receptions, we actively seek out song requests. We want to know what gets you moving and grooving, strutting your stuff on the dance floor. And when we receive your song requests, we learn and play them. It’s a simple philosophy, but then we’re just three simple musicians. We want to make you happy on your big day, and we know that one of the best ways of making you happy is to play the songs that you and your guests want to hear. So bring those song requests on!
We recently had the opportunity to revisit one of our favourite Staffordshire wedding venues, Pendrell Hall, where the lovely Charlotte and the handsome Martyn had chosen to celebrate their wedding reception. It’s fair to say that bride and groom had impressively eclectic tastes. Check out the setlist we based around their song requests:
SET ONE
This will be our year (Foo Fighters) – Charlotte and Martyns’ first dance
Everyday (Slade)
Days like these (Van Morrison) straight into Sweet Caroline

Learn to fly
SET TWO

While this number of songs requests (34 songs packed into 2 hours of live band music) would make some so-called wedding bands run screaming into the night, we are song request monsters. Adding new songs to our multi-genre repertoire ( https://hardtohandleband.co.uk/playlist/ ) is our lifeblood, so when you hire HARD TO HANDLE BAND you can be confident that you’ll hear a playlist tailored to your favourite music. It’s like having your own personal wedding band, and that’s why our lovely bride described as “fabulous”. We’d have to agree, Charlotte.
HARD TO HANDLE WEDDING BAND – 2 hours of killer indie, rock, pop and more + live DJ!
