Having played together in bands for over ten years, Gloucestershire based acoustic guitar/vocal duo Ben & Jon listed everything they play and realised they know loads of great songs! DJ service available.

Acclaimed London musicians Ben "one of the most naturally gifted singers of his generation" and Jon, of acclaimed Merseyside pop band Amsterdam perform top drawer versions of these great songs which include, amongst many others the music of Johnny Cash, Van Morrison, The Strokes, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, U2, Elvis Presley, Beatles, Prince. The band are suited to either background music or a rockin' night's dancing, and are skilled at getting crowds up on the floor and on their feet.

The guys have in the past been resident musicians in both Regents Street uber cool Cuckoo Club and South Londons Entertainment mecca 'The Bedford'. They're also available as a kicking rock covers band The Wild Nights (White Stripes, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys).

The Wild Nights duo can provide their own laptop DJ service, before, between and after their performance (featuring mixed tunes, a huge catalogue of songs and laser lighting), saving you on the cost (and space) of hiring a separate DJ.

What people say Help

  • We were delighted with our choice of band for our recent wedding. The band were such a nice group of lads, and helped to make our evening just perfect. I would highly recommend them to anyone who was considering having live music at any event, and hope that perhaps one day we will have the opportunity to see them play again.

    Carolyn and David, Wedding, August 2010
  • Excellent band. Great musicians. Lead singer has got a really soulful voice. Really nice guys and they don't look cheesy!

    Roy, Club Manager, London June 2010
  • The Wild Nights were fabulous! Charlie and I were very impressed. Quite a few of our guests have said how great they thought the band were and the choice of songs they played was perfect.

    Sarah, Wedding, Gloucestershire, January 2010
  • The Wild Nights were absolutely brilliant! We and our guests enjoyed them immensely and were sad when they completed their sets! The range of songs they played was excellent for the range of guests we had at our wedding and there was something for everyone. The guys were helpful, polite, professional and out to please us with their performance. We have nothing but praise for them and hope we can use them for another event in the future and will definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again.

    Steve and Becky, Wedding, London, August 2008
  • Thank Ben & John for a fabulous night - they were awesome and would definitely book them again if they'll have us!

    Owen and Victoria, Wedding London, August 2008
  • They played brilliantly, had all the talent we'd expected, but bags more personality and good humour than we could have hoped for. They even allowed a group of drunk guests (my brother and mates) to steal the microphones and sing 'American Pie' whilst the true professionals (the band) just took up backing vocals and guitars... it was hilarious, and everyone has commented on it since. It was one of the highlights of the day. They were truly wonderful, and both such lovely blokes, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

    Ness, Party, London, July 2008
  • We'll never forget their beautiful rendition of 'stand by me' for our first dance, we were both nervous and they made it feel so natural, and when everyone began singing along with the band when the chorus came around... well, it was pure magic. So please pass on my thanks to them for making our evening so perfect.

    Hannah and Charles, Wedding, London, July 2008
  • The ‘Chill Out’ area was where The Wild Nights performed post dinner.
    The client was very pleased with their performance. Many thanks again to all for their great efforts!
