Power plugs (ideally 2 or more, 1 absolute minimum)
Yes, we have a top quality sound rig and lighting to illuminate the stage area and dancefloor.
All venues are different but it's useful to know about anything that might affect our performance (eg. sound limiters or noise restrictions) and access issues (eg. if we can park near to the entrance of the venue or if we will need to carry our heavy equipment more than 50 yards or up many flights of stairs).
We always provide a free DJ service. We have a big archive of party tunes but you're also welcome to send us a Spotify playlist of your own choices which we can download into our system and play on the night.
As session musicians, we've played all over the world.
Guillaume was in charge of the drummers outside Buckingham Palace for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, while he's also played with Reef, Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones and many more at venues from Glastonbury to the Royal Albert Hall.
Ross has played for One Direction and James Morrison, while Si has sung on number one songs and has been streamed on Spotify over 175million times (and counting!).
Jon has played at Wembley Arena, Hyde Park Calling and many more with artists like James Bay, Pixie Lott and Smokie.
Lloyd is touring all over Europe and has played some massive shows at The Royal Albert Hall, Boardmasters, Radio 1s Big Weekend and more.
Steve has played multiple festivals with Judge Jules and has performed on huge West End musicials including the Lion King and Dirty Dancing.
Guy is signed to Earache Records with Kit Trigg's band and has played all over the UK.
We grew up with indie bands and love the energy and musicianship of bands like the Killers and Blur, heavier bands like Foo Fighters and Rage Agaunst the Machine, as well as classic bands like Toto, well crafted pop music from Stevie Wonder to Taylor Swift... all the GOOD stuff!
We all met on the London music scene, either through playing gigs together or meeting through friends of friends. We love performing, whether it's a festival or up close and more intimate at a private party, we love what we do and that's infectious for audiences of any size.
Private parties and weddings where we are close enough to see the reactions on peoples faces are always a lot of fun. The proximity to the audience means we can chat to them between songs and really make a personal connection that you don't get at bigger events.
Arrival: 1 hour before the performance
Set up / pack down: 20 minutes
We love playing outdoors. We need a flat surface (otherwise the drums can topple over!) and a power supply. And, just in case, a plan B for keeping everything on the floor dry in case the weather is less than favourable!
We have a huge repertoire but have also spent a long time honing our craft - we know what works well and keep everyone on the dancefloor!
That said, we usually encourage clients to pick 5 or 10 songs they absolutely love so we can work those into the set while allowing us the wiggle room to react to the crowd on the night.
