Band Profile

Wild Willow are a highly versatile and dynamic professional singing duo from the heart of Berkshire.

Gaining rave reviews and positive acclaim for their accomplished live performances, Wild Willow have been performing together for over five years with a unique take on a well known song and a repertoire that literally runs into the hundreds.

Wild Willow offer a professional quality performance at fantastic value for money. Ideal for weddings, birthday parties, black tie functions and even small intimate ceremonies, their stunning acoustic take on the songs they choose is marked by their remarkable two-part vocal harmonies and highly accomplished guitar work.

Choosing superb songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, right through to the present day, Wild Willow know how to create that "big" sound ideal for Friday or Saturday night entertainment - or choose smoother songs for a soulful, toned down weekday set. It's also worth noting that the girls prefer to keep their sound 'live' - so you won't find any backing tracks or pre-recorded material at one of their nights - what you see and hear is pure live acoustic entertainment with more than a splash of sophistication!

Experience an evening of spellbindingly good music with a real ‘wow’ factor - this is pure acoustic entertainment at its sweetest and best.

Testimonials
"Just a note to say thank you both for your lovely performance and singing at our service. Everybody said how beautiful the service was and how wonderfully well your singing complimented it.

Best wishes and thank you again.” Rob & Elinor, Bucks, Oct 2011

"I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for Saturday night. You were both amazing, played the right mix of songs and judged the audience fantastically. Thank you for making my night so memorable."

Karen, Berkshire, July 2011

"My husband and I used Wild Willow for our wedding renewal ceremony this year. We wanted a very special and bespoke arrangement for the day, which I admit could be difficult to achieve. I'm delighted to say that Wild Willow were an excellent choice. Wild Willow were simply perfect and wonderful. They helped make our day very memorable and all of our guests commented on how brilliant they were and lovely the music was. They played all the songs that we'd chosen beautifully and even recommended some other song choices of their own, which were also perfect for the occasion. I know that after hearing them play many of our guests are now considering booking Wild Willow for their own events! The day and the music was exactly as we'd imagined and hoped it would be. It was simply magical and we're so pleased that we found The Wildflowers for our special day.”
