About The Honey Badgers
From the Arctic Monkeys to the Killers, and from Kings of Leon to the Stones, the bands we choose to cover heavily influence our sound—each song is delivered with nothing short of love.
No matter what the setlist, we aim to keep the dance floor packed. With high levels of passion, professionalism, and polished performance, you won’t find a more dynamic, well-rehearsed band.
We are in London, Bath and Holmfirth as our base, we travel throughout the UK + globally.
We’re happy to travel to any location for your event. Please note that travel expenses will vary depending on the distance, but regardless of where you choose to host your event, we’re committed to delivering a great performance.
Feel free to contact us to discuss your event in more detail. We look forward to speaking with you soon.
Can we choose what you play?
One of the first questions you may have is, ‘What will the band play?’ The Honey Badgers maintain a dynamic and ever-evolving playlist.
Another common question is, ‘Can we choose the songs?’ The answer is always a resounding yes—this is your special day, and we’re happy to play the music you want.
That said, we recommend we work in a collaborative manner to ensure the best possible experience. While you’re welcome to suggest songs, we find the most memorable events strike a balance between your preferences and our ability to read the crowd and create the perfect atmosphere.
Just let us know which songs from our playlist you enjoy (and any you prefer to avoid). From there, we can curate the setlist to ensure your favourite tracks are played at just the right moments.
Additionally, if you have a special song that’s not on our list, we are happy to learn it for your event. This is especially common for weddings, where the couple often want to select a unique song for their first dance. We are more than willing to accommodate such requests, (while it helps to expand our repertoire in the process). We can even accommodate guest requests from our existing playlist.
FAQs
We typically perform approximately 2.5 hours of live music during the evening, which usually conclude by midnight. This is often arranged as three 50-minute sets with breaks inbetween, though it can also be structured as two longer sets if preferred.
We are flexible and can adjust the performance schedule to suit your specific requirements, providing as much (or as little) of the music you need for your event.
We’re a four piece band – guitar & vocals, drums & vocals, bass, and lead guitar.
From our experience, we know what works well at a party, so we have a good idea of what we will play. On the night, we always read the floor to gauge the mood of the event and then alter the playlist accordingly.
Yes, our equipment is at your disposal throughout the event for speeches or announcements.
Simply put, no we don’t charge extra. We provide our own high-quality, professional sound and lighting systems, which are included in any quote for the band.
We need about an hour or so to set up and sound-check comfortably. If there are any access issues to the venue, we need to know in advance. Normally, we have a chat with the venue anyway to introduce ourselves.
For parties and weddings, we typically aim to set up 3 hours before the scheduled performance time.
On a typical evening, this might involve setting up around 5:00 PM, with performances running from 8:00 PM to midnight. If an earlier setup is required, we can accommodate this with prior notice.
We are able to perform both with or without a stage, indoors or outdoors. For stage performances, the ideal stage dimensions for a comfortable setup are 18ft x 12ft. If performing without a stage, we require an area of approximately 15ft x 10ft.
For outdoor events, a marquee or a suitable canopy is recommended to ensure protection in case of poor weather conditions.
We require at least two electrical sockets in the vicinity of the performance area. The full band with all sound and lighting equipment requires power consumption of approximately 4000W, which can be safely provided by 2 standard mains wall sockets.
Bookings are confirmed by receipt of a £100 deposit and a signed contract with full details of the event. Balance payment is usually by bank transfer during the week of the booking.
