If this cannot happen we are happy to move our car after we have loaded in the PA and gear required for the performance. Any parking costs that occur will be invoiced for after the event and are required to be covered by the client.
Yes we can, but we ask to be undercover incase of rain or hot sun to protect our equipment and band members.
We travel the UK and internationally depending on visa approval.
We can perform at weddings, birthday parties, celebrations, engagement parties, corporate events, meals and either be upbeat and bring everybody to the dancefloor, or provide nice background music for the more intimate events.

We can provide you with a wired mic and PA speaker for your speeches if requested beforehand for £80.00. We will not be able to offer this on the day as we will need to bring a separate system for you to use.
Yes we can. We can add a percussion player to make the duo even more upbeat. This is also perfect for those venues with a sound limiter, and we can also add a saxophone player or a male vocalist to add something a little bit extra to the performance.
We've been very lucky to play at lots of parties, weddings and corporate events. As well as the duo we also perform in different bands and original projects performing all over the world.
As a duo we love a well written song, so we perform anything from from relaxing artists like Norah Jones and Fleetwood Mac through to more upbeat acts like Maroon 5 and James Bay (we can also tweak our setlist to suit the mood of the evening!).

You can also tell us if there are any songs you would not like to hear on the day. We will also learn your first dance/special request for free to perform live, as long as it is sent through at least 2 weeks before the performance date. Any other songs that you’d like us to perform that are not in our repertoire list will be changed as extra for the learning time.
