Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment

The Big Cheese are a band of talented musicians, vastly experienced at playing to audiences and superbly good at what they do.

Alexis is the main man, a veteran of thousands of gigs as a solo player at parties and in restaurants, wine bars, pubs, clubs, festivals and weddings. He is the guy that fronts the band, plays guitar, drives the van and answers the phone and will always be at any booking, answerable to the event and to the client. Grant helps him out on the admin side of things, as well as playing bass and vocal duties.

To ensure that the whole band at your event are not subject to the availability of any one particular musician, there are a pool of players, all trusted and highly capable, that gig regularly with Alexis.

We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing.

We usually arrive on site at 6pm and, if appropriate, start loading in and setting up. If there are speeches or such, we will wait until the best moment. We like to play 2 longish sets of 75 minutes each, common timings are: 8:30-9:45, 10:15-11:30. We can then DJ until midnight, which is when we usually like to finish up. This is all flexible of course, but it works well as a starting point.

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

We offer to learn any song of your choice as a first dance. We have a large repertoire, and often take requests on the night. If you have very specific "love it" or "hate it" from our set list, please let us know and then we will tailor the song choice around this.

"the best wedding band they had ever heard", "There wasn’t a moment that dance floor was not filled", "loved your music and you created a great atmosphere all evening", "All our guests thought you guys were great", " played their socks off once again", "everyone loved your song selection and ability to play all the songs requested, no matter how random they were", "incredibly slick and a great mix of pop and Irish".
