“WHEELZ” Charity function, wedding and party band. Rocking around the 60’s and 70’s! |
|

Ready, Steady, Rock for
Charity. The cost of running
live music events can sometimes be prohibitive or erode the potential benefit
for the charity. But what if you know that the band’s fees, whatever the
event, are for charity as well? Now there’s an idea!!! Wheelz was formed in
late-2005 and comprises seven like-minded rock and rollers with a history of
playing and (and surviving!!) through the halcyon days of the 60’s, 70’s and
80’s, when music was not only entertainment but almost a way of life. Wheelz is out to
recreate that era with its own style of rock and pop. The band is itself a
fundraising vehicle. Whatever the occasion, all the fees received are
actually donated by the band to charities of its own choice. ‘What better way
of raising money than to do something you really enjoy’ says bassman Paul
Wellman. The band line-up
consists of three guitars, keyboards, drums and two singers, who double up on percussion,
providing a full range of rock and roll, soul and hits of the era, with a
great blend of musical sound, dynamic vocals and harmonies. So why do they do it?
Well, over the years live music has been generally relegated to expensive
concert arenas and die-hard pub landlords, with discos or piped music taking
over. However it is a fact that seeing a band play live is not to listen to
perfect reproduction of a record, but to enjoy the whole experience of being
entertained by ‘live’ musicians. This is what Wheelz
is all about. It is a nostalgic trip back in time to remember (and join in if
you want!!) the atmosphere of those unique days. The group is available
for any gig, especially charitable events and will travel almost anywhere if
the cause is good (and the price is right!). The band’s reputation is growing
and the diary is already quite full for 2007, so don’t delay. If you are interested
