Try Them For Yourselves
This might not always be something that is considered when hiring a Wedding and Function Band, but for those that are interested, here is a taste of what we bring with us when we play.
Public Address (PA) System
In order to ensure we are constantly providing the best for our audience, we have
recently upgraded our PA, purchasing new active speakers and a sub-
We connect the instruments, microphones and backings to our Mackie CFX12 mkii mixing
desk, then this runs our to our Mackie SRS1500 sub-
Lights
We are always looking to improve our show, so have recently added 2 high output LED Stage Wash lights to our current rig of DJ lighting and smoke machines. This helps us create a stage in any environment.
Microphones
For vocals, we use the industry standard Shure SM58’s, or Mark will use his Sennheiser Radio Mic system to allow the band to mingle with the audience more. So if you are on the dancefloor singing, you might just get a bit louder than you expected!!!!
Guitars
The bit you are really interested in!
Due to the variety of styles we play, we bring 5 different guitars to all gigs, being used by both Leighton and Ritchie.

Instead of using amplifiers, we use a pair of Line6 xtLive modelling FX units straight into the PA, meaning more control over what is heard by the audience without any backline competing with it.
Ritchie also uses a Line6 G90 wireless system, and uses this to spend most of the gigs either on the dance floor, stood on tables / chairs, or rocking face to face with the Father of the Bride!
We find that by having these wireless systems, we can offer much more audience participation than other acts, and a spectacle that will help make your event all the more memorable.
P.A.T. Testing and PLI
Please note that all the equipment used is P.A.T. Tested , and Pretty Vegas carry a £10m Public Liability Insurance Policy. Copies of these certificates can either be brought on the day or sent to the venue in advance.
Sound Limiters
It must also be noted, that we have played before in venues that feature “Sound Limiters”, which CAN have a negative impact on both the experience and our equipment. It is preferable that these are not in effect during our performance, and we would ask that any individual booking Pretty Vegas clarify whether or not these are in place at the venue in question. See F.A.Q. For more details.
