For large venues, we would require PA with 4 inputs

Can bring own sound equipment for small venue

We'd like to be informed firstly of parking availability. Also food/drink provisions

we can provide a playlist in between sets

As a full band, we love playing Jamboree in Kings Cross, Green Note in Camden, Bear Club Luton. As a duo we love the rowdy messy atmosphere of Gibneys Irish pub in Old Street.

Jen is most influenced by Elton John, Dolly Parton, Doris Day, the Beatles. Ben is obsessed with the Dubliners, the Pogues, Jimi Hendrix, Tony Rice, and Bach.

Ben went to the Royal Academy as a jazz player and started the Thumping Tommys band there nearly two decades ago.
Jen recently joined the Tommys, having studied vocals at BIMM London then going on to pursue bass playing for indie rock bands, Queen tributes, and various function and session work across the country.
Together they have been playing since the pandemic when Ben recruited Jen to play and sing with him on some of his original work, then taught her the ropes of his folk/bluegrass livelihood.

We love a rowdy party crowd, but we enjoy an attentive dinner audience as well to really delve into our softer repertoire.

Usually 2x45mins with 15-30 minute break in between

Yes as long as it's protected from rain or any source of damp
Also prefer to avoid winter temperatures as it's hard on the quick fingers!

Usually a set repertoire but can be flexible (within the genre)
