is there a particular knack to getting them on, or are they just as "easy" as wired ones? I've a pair to put on tonight, having never done it before, so any advice welcome.
thanks in advance.

No knack required IMHO. I tend to get the first bit on at the bottom, then stand the wheel on the floor to hold that bit of tyre on while I get the rest on. Once they've been on for a bit they seem to hold their shape a bit better.

Use a couple of drawing pins or even better, staples, to hold the bottom in place while you push the top of the tyre on.

It can be worth pushing the bead over into the middle of the rim, rather than letting it sit in the inside of the rim where it ends up when inflated. This should give a few mm of extra room which can make all the difference, especially on Mrs G's MTB, which has tubeless-ready rims.
