Frequently Asked Questions

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

The best gigs always tend to be weddings as the crowds are always lovely and it such a privilege to be part of a happy couples special day.
Best venues is a tough one, we've played everywhere from Castles to Chelsea Flower show, but to be honest the humble village Hall is always a great venue to play in!


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

Our band specialises in cherry picking the greatest tunes across the ages and then putting our own vintage spin on them, so It's very difficult to pick out our favourites as we love and play lots of different artists. However, you cant go wrong giants such as Ray Charles, The Beatles and Beyonce! Greatest song of all time? Wow thats a tough one, Jump in the Line by Harry Belafonte' has to come close, it's such an upbeat song and every time we play it the audience without fail go nuts and it inevitably ends up in a great big conga line!


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

The band members are all full time professional musicians and have been for a number of years. We've played hundreds of gigs all over the UK and Europe. All of us starting gigging as we whippa-snappers I think we all did our first live show by the time we were 14!


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

Weddings, lots of lovely people and lots of lovely cake!
