Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need around 5x3 meters space to perform in
We need 2 double 13 amp supplies
We don't need a proper dressing room, but a space to change, keep our instrument cases etc.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we are completely self contained. We bring our own PA system and all equipment for the gig. We have a very simple lighting set up, if you would like a full disco feel, we'd advise hiring extra lights.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. It'd be great to know if there is an event organiser to be in touch with.We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


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

Yes absolutely. We're happy to play music through our speakers between the sets. If you require us to do so post the gig you can then look at booking our full DJ service as an add on to the gig.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We performed in front of thousands of people at Camp Bestival 2023 on a huge stage made from a ship. Our piano player was on a flying grand piano, whilst I was singing sat on top of it (The piano flew over the stage from a crane!) We were playing as a full 8 piece band (including 3 piece horn section), we had a 30 piece choir, plus 10 dancers and circus performers creating the spectacle show called All You Need Is Love. It was one for the books!!


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

Florence and the Machine - her voice is so powerful and she knows how to write an epic pop song. We never play a set without Dog Days or You've Got The Love, they always go off with the crowd.


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

We are a band made of professional full time musicians. We all studied music and have devoted our lives to performing live, recording, studio sessions, touring, writing, and teaching. We have all gigged extensively and globally, playing all over Europe, The Middle East and North America.


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

The beauty of our job is it's so diverse, it's great to be playing a festival one week, on tour through the Alps the next, playing a wedding the week after. Variety keep all gigs fun to play

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We take about an hour to set up and sound check.
We are happy to arrive by 6pm and finish at midnight.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to play outside so long as there is no chance for rain on the day. Water and electrics don't mix well.


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

We can discuss it together. We are of course happy for in put but need to make sure the set list has a good flow. We often recommend a traffic light system for the client to make of our repertoire : Green - must hears Amber - happy either way Red - would rather not have included.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Some recent reviews...
- "The hottest dance floor EVER"

-"They really bring the energy and keep the dance floor packed!"
