Frequently Asked Questions

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

Queens Jubilee, Kings Coronation, and playing with Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones. Best venue would have to be Buckingham Palace or the Royal Albert Hall.


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

Kim is very influenced by Gospel singers such as Aretha Franklin and all of the soul greats such as Marvin Gaye. Chris is into all kinds of guitar music, jazz, blues and country. Best song ever is a tough one, but Blackbird by the Beatles is beautiful, we love playing that in our sets and all audiences seem to resonate with it.


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

We both started performing when we were about 15 years old in pubs, venues and social clubs. We've played in all kinds of bands from Motown Shows, funk, Gospel, jazz clubs, and even an Elvis tribute show! We both mentor young musicians and met whilst doing this. Our duo grew from here and we've played all over the world entertaining guests at all kinds of events.


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

We love playing anywhere the guests are having a good time. We're both very experienced in so many musical situations, from recording studios to weddings and Royal Coronations! It's always about the people enjoying what we play together.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We need minimal time to set up as our equipment is very compact and self contained. We'd suggest arriving an hour before the event. We normally perform 2 x 45 minute sets, but we can play longer if that suits the client better. We tailor what we do around the type of event and what the client needs.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We're happy to play outside, weather permitting. We'd also require a power supply near to the performance area.


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

We can learn 3 or 4 tunes that the client chooses if they aren't already on our repertoire list. We'd need a few days prior notice for this.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous audiences always note how incredible Kim's voice is and how perfect the atmosphere was for the occasion. They always note how professional, friendly and welcoming to all the guests we are.
