Technical Info

Power, dressing room, table for mixing desk


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We provide all sound equipment and can provide basic lighting equipment.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know directions to help us find the venue, and a designated person to as for when we arrive. Knowing which door to load in from is helpful too.


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

Yes, we can play music before, in between and after our sets for an added cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We performed at the Athena in the centre of Leicester for the Niche Business Awards. It was an extremely fun night playing to guests who were ready to sing and dance the night away.


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

Most of the band met in a soul band, playing the likes of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Earth, Wind & Fire. Now, we love to take a song and subvert expectations on how most would expect it to be played. We take popular sing-a-long tracks and make them party tunes.


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

We began as a five-piece a few years ago, then life meant we went our separate ways. We've then recently rebuilt and rebranded, becoming a six-piece and have thrown ourselves into a variety of gigs: weddings, functions, awards evenings, parties, pub venues and more.


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

We love every type of event but more than anything we love to play a wedding. Everyone wants to have the best evening and we always try our best to make that happen. The guests are always high spirited and ready to dance and sing, plus our repertoire lends itself well to a wedding.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Arrival: 1 hour set up time, 30 minutes sound check
Setup/pack down: 1 hour to set up, 45 minutes to pack down


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, so long as there is a potential cover option should it rain.
A flat service is preferred and of course we'd need power close to the performance area.


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

We create a set from our repertoire in advance, based on the event. For weddings we will accept 2 requests in advance and a request for the first dance should the couple decide they want us to play for it. For the DJ music after our sets, anyone can make requests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

"Your sound was so strong, I thought you were playing a record."
"It's so great to see everyone singing along to songs from all different eras. You've picked a brilliant selection of tracks."
"It's such a lively set and their songs that you don't hear every band play."
"You just can't help but dance."
