Frequently Asked Questions

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

We recently did a corporate gig for John Lewis at Christmas which was really fun! We can't imagine anything more festive than playing for John Lewis!


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

We love all the Soul & Motown greats but our favourite has to be Michael Jackson. Although our favourite song to perform is always Never Too Much by Luther Vandross! That always gets everyone on the dance floor!


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

We have been musicians for many years. This is a spin-off from our main party band for smaller more intimate events. We've been performing for 6 years as Back2Skool but been playing & singing for so much longer.


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

Weddings are usually the favourite! The venues are usually beautiful and it's wonderful to be a part of a couple's big day!

Performance Info

Arrival: 1 hour before the performance
Setup/pack down: 1 hour
We usually play 2 x 45 minute sets but are happy to adjust this to best fit with your event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, although we ask for cover in case of bad weather and we will need access to power.


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

Clients can request a song or two. We have song lists we can send out so you can let us know any definites and definitely nots! If you let us know the sorts of artists and styles you like then we are very used to crafting our set lists for the occasion. Whether you want intimate background music or party time!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients like that we are versatile. We can do the typical acoustic background music but we can also provide really upbeat music for dancing too.


Can you provide a whole day package?

Absolutely! We play both slow and chilled ballads as well as music to get everyone dancing so we can play at all stages of the wedding or event and pick the right music for the right moment.


Do you have different line-ups?

Yes! We also go out as an acoustic trio with the addition of a small drum kit which is perfect to get everyone up and dancing!
