Frequently Asked Questions

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

With such a huge wealth of experience that's hard to say. There's a rush to playing big crowd events, and something very special about the intimacy of playing for a small party.


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

We are seasoned, professional musicians who have refined our skills in playing and performance over years. We bring all that wealth of experience to every performance.


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

Again, impossible to say! Love it all!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup - one hour. Pack down - thirty minutes.
Standard performance time - two fifty minute sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We're happy to perform outside providing appropriate cover is provided to give shelter from rain and shade from sun, and adequate provision is made to keep the band dry and, when necessary, warm. We need a flat level surface and power.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We rarely have a set list, finding it better to consider the event and gauge the room. We have found that clients can rely on our experience to provide them with the best music for their event. We consider requests.
