Hi, we are James, Toby and Nick. Thanks for taking the time to get to know us and more about what we do.
We have performed together in some of the most popular function bands based in Yorkshire over the last 14 years, from rock bands to 14 piece soul and motown bands. We have played all the songs that get people dancing and learnt which ones have worked best over the years, from experience, we know how to bring the party!
Priding ourselves on giving a genuine personal service from the moment you enquire. We have included promotional material on our profile that is 100% LIVE audio and video clips taken from real events. You will see plenty reviews and pictures of us on our profile to give you confidence in booking, please take a look around.
We recently decided to start a project where we can call upton the very best musiciasns we have worked with. We have an amazing track record for successful Weddings, Corporate and Private Parties. We are award winning, including The North of England Wedding Awards 2023 for best live music and Hitched Wedding Awards 2024 for best live band and DJ. This is based on dosens of votes and reviews from previous happy clients, which include a huge amount of examples where we have gone above and beyond to make their event special.
We can tailor our musicians to every event perfectly. If you want a rock/indie band playing "90s and naughties bangers" at your wedding, we will make it happen. If you need a 12 piece luxury soul and motown band for your corporate event, we will make it happen.
The three of us have made a full time income as music performers since graduating 12 ago at Leeds Collage of Music.

Also a talented vocalist. An experienced sound engineer, so you can rest assured your guests will have a pleasnt listening experience.
. Nick is truly all "all about that bass", very in demand and plays in mulptiple acts, from amazing jazz ensembles to tribute shows. He has at least 500 function tunes under his belt. Experience is key!
The band starts at 4 musicians where we add a male or female lead vocalist, you can then build up the band and add as many musicians as your event desires (upto 14)...

We require at least x2 13amp power sockets for the DJ and smaller band. With our larger setup, ideally at least x4 13amp power sockets to distribute power evenly
Yes, we are completley self contained and the sound system and lighting is included in any quote
We need to know any specific directions it its not obvious on google maps. For example if its a marquee wedding in a field, we may need to know specifics to find it. Other than that, if we havent played a venue before we will reserach and figure our what we need to before the event. If you venue has sound limitations, we can work to their rules in place, please just know we can't go louder than they allow.
Yes absolutly, we will even sort this in pre planning. Send us a playlist or let us know the kind of music you want and we will build it and run it in our automix DJ programme when the band are not performing. Please note this is free of charge and NOT our professional manned DJ service add on.
Every couples wedding, every charity event for a great cause, every birthday party is equally as special to us no matter where it is. Each one is the best event and venue we have ever played at 😌
We love any music that gets people feeling good and dancing. From the classic soul sounds of Stevie Wonder to the energetic rocky sounds of Blink 182
We have all played music from a young age, we went to Leeds Collage of Music and from there have played live music full time to this day.
We are most experienced in Weddings and would have to say this is our favourite, we love the personal touch and no wedding is exactly the same. It creates memories that will last forever and we are honoured to be chosen for the big day.
Our setup times we require from when the area is clear are:
. DJ, DJ and Sax: 60 minutes
. 4 - 8 piece band: 90 minutes
. Larger band: 120 minutes
We provide 90 minutes of live music as standard, usually in x2 45 minute sets. We do offer to play longer on request at an additional fee, but find the 90 minutes is a great sweet spot for enough entertainment and is the industry standard.
Yes, providing we have full shelter from and unexpected bad weather
Yes absolutly, songs possible will vary based on different musicians and singers and we ask for compromise on the final setlist. We are happy to send a list of songs for you to give your prefernaces and we will revolve it around that.
Please check our reviews/testimonials
If this is prearranged yes, we have often had people sing with us and it creates a wonderful moment to remember. We even had the bride and groom both on stage playing bass and singing to summer of 69 once!
We have invested in equipment suiatble for lower comfortable volumes, while still having amazing crystal clear sound on the dancefloor. This includes the highest qualiry electric drum kit and in ear monitors to avoud loud stage sound. We are actually on a few venues reccomended suppliers list because we are so good and respectful with the sound experience.
Mainly weddings and charities such as Overgate Hospice and St Gemmas Hospice
Many! Near enough all of them in Yorkshire between us.
