We kindly ask for at least a 4m x 3m performance space and 1 x 13 amp power socket. We ask for 60mins of set up and soundcheck time, and parking at the venue.
Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs, as well as a simple lighting rig.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
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...
Previous clients have described us as highly versatile, engaging, and friendly who cater to many occasions.
