Frequently Asked Questions

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

Honestly, every gig we perform feels like the best one yet. My absolute favourite gigs are the ones where the client hasn't just hired us because we're good, but because they absolutely must have us. When we arrive for soundcheck and the bride and groom warmly welcome us, expressing their excitement, it sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. In those moments, as anticipation builds before we've even played a note, and guests are already hitting the dance floor during soundcheck, we can't help but think, "This is going to be amazing." It's when we pour our hearts into every song, and by the end of the night, everyone - from the newlyweds to their guests - is exhausted but elated from dancing the night away. There have been countless gigs like this, each one is our favourite and the reason we love what we do.


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

Influences
Marvin Gaye
Luther Vandross
John Legend
Aretha Franklin
Earth Wind & Fire
Ray Charles

I can't name the greatest song of all time, I have way too many, but here are a few we love

Let get it on - Marvin Gaye
Leave the door open - Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak
September - Earth Wind and Fire
My first, my last - Barry White
Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin


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

After university, I tried education but found my passion lay in music. As a stay-at-home dad, I explored music as a side hustle and realized its potential. Collaborating with talented musicians led to our collective. Each member brings unique talent and passion, creating unforgettable musical experiences. Connecting with our audience is the most rewarding part. We're committed to pushing creative boundaries and inspiring our audience. Our journey is fuelled by passion, dedication, and love for music. We're grateful for the opportunity to share our music and excited for what's to come!


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

Weddings are undoubtedly our favourite events. It's an incredible privilege to be chosen to play a part in a couple's special day. Witnessing them truly enjoying themselves, thanks to our music, is immensely gratifying. There's simply nothing that compares to this experience.


Do you offer music services for other parts of the day, aside from just the evening entertainment?

Absolutely! We specialize in crafting tailored packages to meet all your musical needs throughout the entire day, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience from start to finish.


Can you arrive earlier than 17:00?

Yes, we can accommodate early arrival times, but please note that this may incur an additional cost.


Can you play past midnight if required?

Technically, our performance typically ends around midnight, as many venues have curfews in place. However, if the venue permits and accommodation can be arranged nearby, we can extend our performance beyond midnight for an additional fee.


Is it possible for us to witness a live performance before confirming our booking?

Absolutely! We typically schedule 1-2 public performances annually. Feel free to reach out to inquire about our upcoming shows. Kindly note that these public performances are typically held in Liverpool.
