Frequently Asked Questions

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

We headlined Wallingford Bunkfest back in 2017, and got the crowd going with 45 minutes of singalongs!


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

We love a multitude of artists, but our favourite has to be the Beatles, singing and playing their songs is always a joy!


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

We have been professionally gigging for nearly a decade around the UK, playing weddings, corporate events and private parties in bands and acoustic duos. We started our careers working for Carnival Cruise Lines in the cover band onboard the Carnival Legend.


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

Anything and everything! Weddings are a particular favourite, because all the guests are already in a celebratory mood.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive an hour before the performance to set up our equipment. There is a short soundcheck immediately before 2 x 50 minute sets over 2/3 hours.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, this is fine, ideally under cover with a flat surface. A power supply is essential unless the performance is mainly background music.


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

Yes, song requests can be made and we're happy to send over our songlist and remove or add music.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Fun, energetic and engaging. A wide range of music for all kinds of events!


Is it possible to request songs that are not on the setlist?

Yes, this is fine! Let us know at least a week in advance and we'll learn it for you. We do charge £50 extra for every new song.
