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 and between our sets. We also offer the option of a Laptop DJ add-on after an evening set, for an additional cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We performed aboard luxury cruise ships for four years. We feel so fortunate to have travelled the world together whilst doing what we love most; performing and entertaining audiences!


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

We would never be able to choose the greatest song of all time, there are too many! Between us, we have such a broad taste in music, however Charlotte's favourites to sing are soulful love songs.


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

We actually met whilst on board cruise ships! During our time cruising, we met a huge range of audiences with lots of different tastes in music. This helped us curate an extensive repertoire of songs, meaning we can cover practically any occasion.


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

We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! We believe that music is such a special part of your big day, and we feel so lucky to help provide those lasting memories for so many happy couples.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We kindly request 60 mins to set up and soundcheck. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, 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?

The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them. Please enquire if you wish us to learn a new song (not featured in our repertoire) as we may need to factor in an additional cost for rehearsal time etc...


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have described us as highly versatile, engaging, and friendly who cater to many occasions.
