Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We would need at least three separate power outlets close to or on stage.
Having even a small riser or stage is better than putting a band on the floor where they can't be seen.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We can provide lighting and sound at additional cost. See our price points


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

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 choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Our best gigs are


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

We are influenced by all artists we come across. Music is art and entertainment all rolled into one massive moving culture. Check our setlists to see specific artists we enjoy covering.


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

We are all professionally schooled musicians who have decades of combined playing experience


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

We love playing festivals and weddings! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level STAGE 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?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers would describe us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.
