Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need a performance space of at least 5 meters x 3 meters. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 3 parking spaces.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

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


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. 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, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Hard to single out one particular gig! In terms of numbers, we played a corporate gig at Liverpool Arena, that was pretty epic. But we have played hundereds of weddings in idyllic locations and played at many sports stadiums, big hotels etc.


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

Again hard to single out one particular artist, but we most enjoy playing hits from the 80's and 90's.


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

We have all been gigging together since we left Leeds Music College about 15 years ago! Still going strong after all this time.


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

Weddings are great, everyone is there to give the bride and groom the best day possible, us included. So getting people up dancing and seeing them make memories is very rewarding for us.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set up time: 1 hour
Typical performance: 2 x 60 mins sets of live music.


Are you happy to perform outside?

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


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

We give the option for 1 special song to be learnt by the band to play live if required. I.e. First Dance
We can send clients our repertoire list and they can pick a handful of those that they do want played/or vetoed!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Great band, really fun vibe, such good energy! Kept everyone dancing at the wedding. Super mix of throw backs, classics and modern bops. Book them!
An excellent band with a wide variety of songs to perform. They are able to work flexibly and professionally under pressure, and are fast and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend working with them for any event or occasion if you get the chance!
