We need some power outlets - 2 is a minimum but more is better. For performances outdoors a suitable rain shelter is needed. 5m x 3m is the bare minimum stage but again, bigger is better.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

Just where and when to turn up plus if the venue has any special requirements e.g. sound limiter or insurance to be sent across prior to the event.

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client send us a playlist.

We once played a venue where we had accidentally been double booked with Shawaddawaddy. Fortunately, the were good guys and we shared the space then played cricket with a potato with them afterwards. Best venue: there have been a huge number of 5-star hotels and restaurants each with their own unique charm, it would be hard to pick just one. A couple of the guys like football so getting to play in the corporate box at St James Park (Newcastle United) was a highlight.

Every member has their favourites and they vary: Billy Joel, U2, The Killers, plus plenty of more esoteric choices.

All of us have been playing since teenage years. This band is made up of a group of friends who have played in and around each other pretty much our whole lives.

Any event where the crowd are up for a good time.

Nope. Dan works on the radio. He's just got one of those faces. He does know Michael Buerk though so that counts for something.

Definitely the bass player. It's always the bass player.

Yes we can do that. Please give us plenty of notice though! Clients that request songs that are real classics may get extra perks.

Arrival 1 - 1.5 hours before start of performance & it takes ~ 1 hour to set up to set up or pack down.

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

We find it is normally best for us to pick the songs as we adapt to suit the audience on the night. Otherwise, its a bit like the manager picking the team. Saying that, if you've got a few that you definitely want us to play / don't want us to play, we can work with it.

Everybody always leaves with a big grin on their faces and the look in their eyes that they've danced themselves out. It's the best feeling in the world seeing that and the reviews afterwards are always glowing.

Can we use your microphone for announcements? Yep.
We are in a band ourselves, can we show off and do 2-3 songs at the event? Yep.
The bride is a really good singer, can she sing one of the songs with you? Definitely.
