We need a performance space of roughly 3mx2m and 2 power sockets.
Yes, we have a variety of PA systems and amps for different size venues including a batter powered one for hard to reach spots! Stage lights and party lights available on request.
Any info on parking and directions are great to know and if there is access to power so we know what PA to bring!
Absolutely, let us know in advance and we can facilitate this no problem.
We have a battery powered PA that we can use in hard to reach spaces! Just let us know in advance. We also have long extension cable if required.
We played for Liam Gallagher at a beautiful private estate in Somerset!
Django Reinhardt, John Mayer & ABBA, but the list of favourite artists is long! They have so many classic songs from across different genres that we love to play in our set from Minor Swing to Slow Dancing in a Burning Room to Does Your Mother Now.
We started playing together 9 years ago when we left college, slowly developing a repertoire of songs and arrangements that were accessible and musically rewarding. Combining our love of smooth jazz with pop songs that we loved to sings along to, but on 2 guitars.
We love playing all types of events but arranging a song for a wedding is a special task that we really appreciate and get a lot of enjoyment from!
We like to arrive around an hour early to set up and sound check but can be flexible to accommodate any type of timings you may have!
Yes, we love performing outside. If it is very sunny or wet then we may request some kind of cover for us and our kit.
We have a long list of songs we like to play that we often pick and choose in the moment so the song always fits the atmosphere on the day. We also are happy to take a request included in all our packages. If you have any favourites or things to stay away from in our set just let us know!
People love that we learn a special request included in our price and that our songs are great for guitar/music lovers but also everyone can recognise a song as we have carefully arranged popular songs to be accessible but still complex enough to be interesting!
We offer one song request included in all our packages, but we are more than happy to learn more at an optional extra price of £70!
