Much more than a straight swing outfit who just stand there and play, The Wise-Guys strive to make each event unique with their humor and audience participation.

The Wize-Guys aim to delight and with over 20 years of experience, they are true professionals at it!

Performance highlights include a fantastic sing-along to the Dean Martin classic “That’s Amore”, dubious “waltz” instructions from the singer, the rousing chorus to the Andy Williams favourite "You’re Just too Good the be True" and much more!

What have they done before?
Collectively and individually this band are highly experienced and experts in their field!

Roger the singer, Steve the guitarist and Mitch the drummer have worked together since the mid 90’ and have racked up impressive credits including MTV, Universal Pictures & James Bond's 40th birthday party at Cannes Film Festival!!

The Wize-Guys have also had numerous residencies at top UK venues and corporate clients that include many of the worlds top companies including Vodaphone, BBC TV, BBC Radio 2, Lloyds of London,  Barclays Bank, Diageo and Phones4u boss John Cauldwell.
 
Previous venues include Eastnor Castle, the Reform Club, the Science Museum, Tower Bridge, the Hilton and Park Lane Hotels, Ronnie Scott’s club and more.

The Wize-Guys recently took part in the BBC3 show “Don’t Tell The Bride” and have worked with many top names including Rory Bremner, Jimmy Tarbuck,  Jazzy B, Tony Hadley, Alexander O Neil and many others.

Your Event
The Wize-Guys will make every effort to personalise your event. The band are flexible with timings and set lists and, where possible are happy to learn your first dance or special song! 

The Wise-Guys have top sound and light equipment and due to the nature of the music have no problem with heritage and sensitive venues with sound limiters. 

The band are also able to set up very quickly in tight spaces with minimal fuss and disruption to the event proceedings. 

The Wize-Guys can provide quality background music from a laptop playlist between their live sets and carry full, PAT test and Public liability insurance.

"As an events organiser, I find using Alive Network a comprehensive and efficient way of booking the perfect music for my event. The Wize-Guys were absolutely great and the client was really happy with them. Everyone loved dancing to their music and they made a real effort by dressing to match the 'Casablanca' theme. I really hope to be able to book them again."
