Five things
you can book.
From a seven-piece headline set to one verse on somebody else's record. Here is what each one is, and what it needs from the room.
What is bookable
Say which one and we can talk numbers
Every one of these has been done more than a dozen times. If what you need is none of them, describe it and we will say honestly whether it is a fit.
75–90 minutes
Headline set
The full band, the tour set, and an arc built for a room that has come specifically to hear it. This is what the festivals book.
—
Seven-piece band with horns
—
Front-of-house engineer travels with us
—
Full technical rider and stage plot
—
Two encores rehearsed, one usually used
35–45 minutes
Support or festival slot
The four-piece, the six songs that land fastest, and no dead air between them. Built to win a crowd that came for somebody else.
—
Four-piece band
—
Twenty-minute changeover either side
—
Shared backline where the bill needs it
—
Set list agreed with the promoter
60 minutes
Voice and guitar
The songs as they were written, for a listening room, a gallery, a rooftop or a late set after somebody louder has gone home.
—
Two performers
—
Two vocal mics and one DI is the whole rider
—
Requests taken from the floor
—
Works with no stage at all
Two sets of 45 minutes
Private and corporate
A small number each year, built around the occasion rather than lifted from the tour. First dances learned properly, not approximated.
—
Format agreed after a conversation
—
One song learned for the occasion
—
DJ cover between sets if wanted
—
Quoted after a call, never off a list

—
Recorded at Nubuke Sound or remotely

Stems, comped and dry, plus a reference mix

Three takes minimum, all of them sent
—
Writing credit only where writing happened
How it works
Four steps, no surprises
The whole process, written down, so nobody has to ask what happens next.
01
Send the date
City, venue, capacity, budget and which format you had in mind. Two working days for a reply, usually less.
02
We hold it
A pencil hold goes on the diary for fourteen days while the details are agreed. Nobody else is offered it in that window.
03
Contract and rider
One page of terms, one page of technical. Fifty per cent on signature, the balance on the night.
04
The night itself
Load-in four hours before doors, sound check ninety minutes, and the band on stage at the minute the contract says.
Bookers ask
The four questions that always come first
How do I book you for a show?
Send the date, the city, the venue and the budget to booking@wren.music and you will hear back within two working days. For anything inside Greater Accra a phone call is usually faster.
Do you always travel with the full band?
No. There are three formats — solo with a guitarist, a four-piece, and the full seven-piece with horns — and the right one depends on the room and the budget. Say which you had in mind, or describe the room and let us suggest.
What do you need from the venue?
A stage of at least four metres by three, monitor wedges for each performer, a sound check window of ninety minutes, and somewhere private to change. The full technical rider goes out with the contract.
Will you play weddings and private parties?
For a small number each year. The set is built around the couple or the occasion rather than lifted from the tour set, so these are quoted after a conversation rather than off a price list.
