We have a small PA system which would cover 100-120 people, and for up to 6 singers, within our cost. Larger audiences would require a bigger PA. Two plugs necessary. A dressing room for belongings. We tend to travel separately so parking spaces for each member of the team you book.
If you, the client, are providing a PA system, we need individual cordless microphones for each singer, floor monitors or in-ear monitoring for singers and pianist, and a sound engineer to be present throughout the performance.
We do not provide lighting, but we can provide a medium sized PA system for 100-120 people.
We need to know if there is a sound limiter at the venue, and if there are any parking restrictions.
We can play music from a Spotify playlist in between our sets.
We specially arranged a gig's worth of Harry Styles songs for our 7 piece choir with a 3 piece band for an outdoor cinema showing 'Don't Worry Darling'. It was fantastic weather and the audience were really up for it - perfect conditions for some brilliant new (to us) music!
The best venue we've ever played would be Hackney Empire, for the BBC Gospel Choir of the Year finals. The atmosphere was electric and it was amazing to play such a big stage and venue, in front of the cameras.
During Covid, the artists that kept me going were Kirk Franklin, Jacob Collier and Stevie Wonder. Two songs we will never get bored of singing - Signed, Sealed, Delivered and Oh Happy Day!
We started gigging together in 2010/2011 after meeting at some studio sessions singing for the X Factor. We're like a family - any new members are friends or relatives of another person in the group, except for a couple of chance meetings along the way.
We love performing at festivals! Watching people sing along and dance to gospel songs alongside house music and r'n'b warms our hearts.
Our minimum line up is 4 singers with backing tracks, or with piano. We occasionally perform as 3 singers and piano for funerals.
You can add singers to make 6, 7, 10 or 12, and can add a 3 or 4 piece band.
We have a specific wedding and funeral package, but all other events we perform for anything up to 90 minutes. This could be one song or the whole 90. E.g. 2 x 45s or 3 x 30s
We arrive 2 hours before our performance time to set up and sound check.
Yes. If you need us to be amplified, we will need a power supply and a plan if the weather is bad, e.g. significant cover or moving indoors.
If you are booking us to sing a capella, or unamplified, we can sing anywhere! Do be aware of the limitations of singing without amplification - voices don't travel far when there are lots of chatty guests or a decent breeze!
For weddings, funerals and specific events, our clients can choose from our repertoire list what they would like.
If a client would like something not on our repertoire list, we charge £275 for full length songs and £175 for shorter songs e.g. for a bridal entrance.
For funerals, we can arrange one song for free.
For parties and drinks receptions, we choose a set list with the clients from our repertoire list, or we can choose a set for them.
Previous clients talk about our joyful uplifting presence, amazing voices, great arrangements, and that we get the vibe right for the occasion. We perform at many different types of events so we are used to responding to the occasion and the audiences we have.
