Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need a performance space of around 8 meters x 5 meters. We require at least 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 3 parking spaces.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we supply all of own PA which we can use to provide background music if required but we don't bring our own lights.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know a suitable place to load our equipment in and park. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we're very happy to use our PA to play a playlist through if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We loved playing at the legendary Rivoli Ballroom and were thrilled to be part of a Strictly Come Dancing feature, the filming crew were there the night that we performed.


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

A difficult question to answer but, we love the feel of Louis Prima's music and the energy of the Jive era, drawing the majority of our set from the Great American Songbook of the 20's, 30's & 40's.


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

We started off busking locally in Reading and our performances developed from there. Since then, we've played at hundreds of weddings, events, dance gigs and festivals throughout the UK & Europe, over the last twenty years.


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

Anywhere that people want to dance!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typically require around an hour to setup and soundcheck. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


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

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 2 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers would describe us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.
