Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We have performed at most of the top Hotels in England and internationally.
We have performed for Celebrities and many Cruise Ships.
We have been featured on BBC2 for a programme on weddings.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

There are so many brilliant songs that to pick one favourite is impossible, but our set is made up of all those great songs that cross all boundaries- the songs that everybody loves to dance and sing along too!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We got into gigging through our love of music, to be able to perform and make people happy on their special nights is such an amazing career to have!

We have been so lucky to perform at so many different venues, and Cruise Ships and toured around the world - which is important because those experiences go into every performance we do today to enable us to make sure your event is the best it possible can be.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We think every event is about one thing, making sure all your guests have the best time ever!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We would normally set within 1.5 hrs, and we can perform up to 3 x 45’s or 2 - 60 minute sets according to your schedule


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, as long as it ‘s a covered area, secure from rain and is safe for our electrical equipment i.e some kind a solid floor and we have a reliable power supply.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We always love to get a feel as to what sort of vibe you are going for, but also you are paying out a lot of money for our experience so we do ask you to put your trust in our ability to read an audience and to make it the best night it possible can be.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I think playing good music is only part of what a great band needs to do, you also need someone who can get an audience involved, someone who fronts the band, like we do to get everyone involved and make everyone feel part of the night.
