Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

All we require on the day are armless chairs for every player (depending on the ensemble you choose).


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

No sound or lighting equipment required.


What information do you require about a venue?

All we require is the venue name and postcode along with the confirmation that there will be enough space for us to play.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

No


How far do we travel?

We try to keep our work based within 2.5 hours travel-time of each of our bases in Manchester and London but special arrangements can be made if need be. If you are having an event out-with the UK or again, somewhere further afield within the UK, we are able to travel but extra charges will apply. Contact us for a quote and to check our availability.


Should you book a duo, trio or quartet?

The smaller groups such as the duo or trio are ideal for smaller venues and budgets but we recommend the quartet as there is a much larger repertoire of music available!


Can we accompany a singer or other instrumentalist for your event?

Yes that is possible if we are able to speak to the musician beforehand to make the arrangements required.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We arrive 45 minutes before we are required to start playing as it only takes us 5-10 minutes to get set-up. Normally our bookings are between 1-4 hours but we are open to hearing special requests from our clients. We aim to take approximately fifteen minute break every 90 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes we are able to play outside weather dependent. We are unable to play in direct sunlight, windy or rainy conditions and we ask that the temperature is above 17 degrees (MU regulations). If it is over 17 degrees and sunny we will require some shade- this is because our instruments can’t handle the heat!


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

Our clients can make as many requests as they would like from our setlist. Any music requests not on there that they would like to hear, we can get specially arranged for a small fee.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Very easy to communicate with and the music creates a magical atmosphere!


What will we be wearing?

We can present ourselves in all black; women in long black dresses and men in dinner jackets. Or if you would prefer we can add a touch of colour to your event by dressing ourselves in smart colourful outfits; women in colourful dresses and men in coloured shirt/black trousers.
