Performance Info

It will take us about 90 minutes to set up our equipment and sound check. In order to achieve this, we need to be able to park as near to the venue as possible. A typical performance could consist of 2x60 or 3x40 minutes sets, but we can be very flexible to accommodate your schedule.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to perform outside (weather permitting) and have done so on numerous occasions 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?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients love our diverse repertoire and energetic performances. We often get complimented from clients who book us how they love that we often take solo's, like to jam and have fun whilst performing.


Will you learn a specific song to play at my event (e.g. First Dance)?

Yes, we are happy to learn one song for your event free of charge. However, don't forget to check our set list on the repertoire page to see if we already know it.


Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We have three main singers who perform in the band on a regular basis: Leonie, Eleanor and Carla. However, if either are unavailable, we have a selection of other professional singers that dep for us and have performed with the band in the past. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all our performers are of an exceptionally high standard.


Do you have different line-up options?

Our standard line-up option is a 5-piece band consisting of: vocals, guitar, keys, bass and drums. However, we can add a saxophone to our line-up if this is required for your needs and/or a 2nd singer. We can also provide a light jazz trio or a jazz quartet (including a singer) for when something more subtle is required such as whilst guests are dining/conversing.


What time do you finish?

Our standard finishing time would be 11:30pm/12:00am, however, if you wish for us to play past midnight, there would be an additional fee, which would need to be negotiated.
