Yes, we bring our own PA system and lights. For festivals and theatres, we use the venue system or hire in.
Address and technical information is always useful depending on venue type.
Yes
Most interesting venue was probably the Eden Project, best gig is hard to say too many to mention, any gig where the audience joins with us and has a great time!
80s artists are our influence, favourites being George Michael and Madonna, greatest song....come on, we can't pick just one!!!
We're seasoned musicians and entertainers with an impressive track record from weddings to corporate galas, even Wembley Stadium. Our musicians have donned various hats, from touring Europe with Grammy-Nominated artists, to rocking stages alongside Moby, Arctic Monkeys and The Sugababes, performing for the prestigious Bolshoi Ballet and contributing to Walt Disney Company's West End productions. We've even shared screen space with Kevin Costner in a Hollywood movie!
The ones where it really matters....
Yes - we have full Public Liablity Cover and our equipment is regularly safety tested, we can email you or your event planner/venue a copy of the current certificates on request. Most venues require bands to have this level of cover (so that the venue meets it's own insurance requirements), it's always worth checking this when you book any bands or musicians.
We play larger venues and festivals regularly too, so we also have ready to send - Technical Specifications, Method Statement, and Risk Assessment sheets, just ask if you need them.
You've probably seen our songlist already here and on our website. We're always happy to include any favourites you have from there (or miss any out that you don't like!), but please don't write a set list for us, this gives us no flexibility if your guests don't like the same music as you do! It's best to trust us, we've been making audiences happy for many years at all kinds of events, part of our expertise is understanding what audiences like so they have a great time!
Yes, we can work with these, no problem!
We play for up to a total of two hours on stage, typically 2x60 minute sets with one break, or three 40 minute sets with two breaks. If your event would be better served by different timings, say one of 90 minutes, or two of 45 minutes, that's no problem: we'll simply arrange the timings to be flexible with whatever else is happening during your event. We usually arrive by 6pm (allowing 1 hour to set up) and finish by midnight. If you need us to arrive earlier or stay later, just let us know in advance of the event.
For private events, Yes, we provide a virtual DJ service for when the band isn't playing, so there can be background or party music throughout the evening. If you want to choose the DJ playlist (maybe a themed evening, or your favourite tunes) just let us know, we can arrange that with you too.
Arrival minimum 90 minutes before start. Pack down allow 1 hour. Standard arrive 5pm, midnight finish.
2 hours total performance not including breaks, example 2x60 minutes, 3x40 minutes, 2 x45 minutes - whatever you prefer and works best for your event.
DJ/Background Music with custom playlist before/after & during breaks.
Quality PA included, suitable for audiences up to 200 people , with LED stage lighting for band, sweep/scan lighting for dance floor. Can easily expand light or sound if needed, with specialist engineers available for larger events, or we can work with your sound/lights.

Always happy to talk songs with our clients :)
