Frequently Asked Questions

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

In our nearly 12 years, we have performed multiple memorable gigs. We definitely enjoy the good vibe feel at all of the Weddings we have played over the years.

In terms of venues, there aren't many as big as Tribfest, which we have played several times. It has also been an honour to entertain the ex-service men and women at several Hull For Heroes events over the years, as well as our work for multiple Special Educational Needs events.


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

We have varied influences and inspirations. Many of which would probably not be reflected in the songs that we play. Despite us all being of a more Rock based learning, we also count Folk Music, Pop Music, Ska, Motown, and Dance Music as influences.


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

11 years of experience as a band, playing various size venues and events, taking our professionalism seriously while making your big day/event energetic and extra-special.


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

Any event is fun when you are The Charm Offensive. But the feel good vibe of performing Weddings is hard to beat.


What sets you apart from all the other bands?

Everything. Our performance is based on Energy and Entertainment. From the wacky shirts, to the wild dance battles, and the setlist of songs that you know and love but don't hear other bands play, to the pure unpredictability. Everything is unique.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours beforehand, to set up and sound check, depending on the agreed times. Generally we perform 2 sets around 45mins with a short break in between, but we are flexible to suit the requirements of the customer.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to perform outside, providing adequate cover is provided to protect ourselves and equipment from any adverse weather conditions.


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