We ideally need a performance area of 5x3 meters but can work with a minimum area of 4x2 meters if space is limited. We’ve performed in a wide range of venues, including manor houses, hotels, barns, marquees, and small clubs, so we’re experienced in making the most of whatever space is available to ensure a top-level performance.

We will require the address, whether the performance area is above the ground floor and if there is parking available onsite.
We will also need to know if there is a sound limiter in the venue.

We have DJ equipment with a huge selection of songs from all eras and genres to keep the dance floor bouncing between our live sets. Music playlists between sets come as standard with every booking. We also offer a DJ package upgrade option where one of the band members will man the sound system all night to take requests and make basic announcements.

Headlining the Corby Music Festival this year to a sell out audience has been the highlight of our summer.

Our favourite artists range from Motown, guitar pop, rock, rock n roll to Irish folk.

The band consists of music graduates, live music techs and professional touring musicians. With 90 years worth of live performance experience between them, they have performed hundreds of shows across the UK and as a Hotel wedding venue resident band.

Our favourite type of events to play include dance floors and celebrations.

Assuming access to the performance area is good (i.e., ground floor with no steps and close vehicle access), we can be set up and sound-checked within 90 minutes. To ensure everything sounds great for your evening, part of our setup/sound check will involve the band playing at full volume for short periods to set sound levels.

Normally, we play 2 x 60-minute sets, but this can be divided into 3 x 40 minutes if required. There is also an “added extra” option to extend our sets to 2 x 75 minutes or 3 x 50 minutes.

Usually, we start the first set around 8:30 – 9:00 pm (after the first dance), but we are completely flexible. Arrival and finish times are 5:00 pm and midnight as standard. Early arrival and late finish fees apply outside of these timings.

We are and continue to be happy playing outdoor shows. Some of our favourite shows have been outside.

You are welcome to suggest songs from our repertoire that you consider “must-haves” or let us know if there are any songs you’d prefer we didn’t play. However, we ask that the final playlist be left to us. This is because creating a great live set involves many factors like key, tempo, style, and genre. Not only are you booking the band for our musical ability, but also for our experience in reading the room and selecting songs that will keep the audience engaged and the dance floor full.

Energetic, professional, value for money and well delivered.
