Sarah and Tom - Wedding
Art Gecko
"We had them play in a Manor House and we weren’t sure what to expect but straight away they had everyone up dancing having the best time. Great songs to suit everyone and felt like they were just part of the group: Really talented guys! Look forward to the next event we need a band! "

Lindsay - Stag festival
Sarah Lucy Jazz Trio
"AMAZING - made our wedding day Sarah, Martin and Matt performed at our wedding last year. They sung whilst I walked down the aisle, performed during the drinks reception and then gave some backing music during our wedding breakfast. Our guests absolutely loved it. They even went around to the tables during the food and sang to each table. It made it very special. The band were super easy to work with, very responsive and learned a song for us which was so lovely. Great value for money too. Would absolutely recommend!!!!"

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
