⚙️ Technical Requirements – The Essentials
To keep things smooth and sounding great, here’s what we need:
At least 3 power sockets within easy reach of our performance area
Indoor or outdoor – we’re happy either way! If outdoors, we’ll need cover from the elements (think gazebo, marquee, or similar)
Advance notice for outdoor events – just so we can dress right (yes, coats are a must!)
We’re compact! As a duo, we fit comfortably in smaller spaces – no huge stage required
Volume won’t be a problem – we’re pros at getting the balance right. Your guests will hear every note without shouting over the music
If you have any questions about space, power, or setup, just ask. We’re flexible and easy to work with!
Absolutely – we’re fully self-contained. We bring our own professional PA system to every gig, along with a simple lighting setup to create just the right atmosphere. You don’t need to worry about a thing – just point us to the performance area, and we’ll handle the rest.
📍 What Info Do We Need About the Venue?
To make setup smooth and stress-free, here’s what we need to know in advance:
Full venue address
Access details – how we load in and out (steps, distance from parking, etc.)
Power supply – number and location of sockets near the performance area
Parking – ideally free and close by for unloading equipment
Indoor or outdoor – and if it’s outdoors, what kind of cover is provided
Performance space – a rough idea of size so we can plan our setup
The more info you give us, the better we can prep – and the smoother things run on the day!
Yes – we’ve got it covered! We provide a complimentary DJ-style service before, between, and after our live sets to keep the music flowing and the energy high.
If you'd prefer to supply your own Spotify playlist, that’s absolutely fine – just let us know in advance and we’ll get it lined up. However, for the safety of our gear (and your party’s soundtrack!), guests won’t be able to access our equipment during the event – we’ve learned that mixing drinks and DJ gear doesn’t end well!
The best gig of my life was an absolute whirlwind of emotions. From the moment the first chord struck, the energy in the venue was palpable. The crowd's collective excitement created this electrifying atmosphere, and as the music enveloped me, it felt like a shared heartbeat with everyone around. Time lost its grip, and I found myself immersed in a sonic journey that resonated deep within. The artist's passion echoed through every note, sparking emotions I didn't know I had. It wasn't just a concert; it was a profound connection that left me in awe, joy, and a sense of belonging to something truly extraordinary. That gig etched a permanent, euphoric mark on my soul, a moment in time I'll carry with me forever.
It was at my local wedding venue, it was special and I will treasure this memory forever more.
Pearl Jam is my all-time favorite band because they exude authenticity. Eddie Vedder's soulful vocals resonate with raw emotion, making their lyrics feel deeply personal. The band's versatile sound, blending grunge and rock, keeps their music timeless. Their commitment to social issues and activism aligns with my values, making me proud to be a fan. Their live performances are electrifying, creating a connection with the audience that's unparalleled. With decades in the industry, their longevity speaks to their enduring talent. Pearl Jam isn't just a band; they're a constant in my life, providing comfort, rebellion, and an unforgettable soundtrack.
We boast over 20 years of extensive experience in the music scene, primarily gigging across the UK. Our journey began with a shared passion for music, propelling us to adopt a professional attitude towards our craft. Over the years, we've honed our skills, connecting with diverse audiences and venues. The love for performing and sharing music has been the driving force behind our continuous journey in the gigging circuit.
One where the seats are optional and people aren't afraid to boogie
We set up in around 40 minutes, we are a compact, efficient duo! We do not mind if you want 1/2/3 sets and can give advice on this prior to your event.
Absolutely – we love playing outside! All we ask is:
A flat, level surface to set up on
Access to a power supply close to the performance area
Some form of shade or cover (like a gazebo or marquee) to protect us and our gear from sun or rain
Advance notice is always appreciated so we can come prepared for the great British weather!
Yes – we love working with our clients to shape the perfect setlist!
We have a tried-and-tested repertoire that always gets the party going, but we’re happy to take requests and tailor the vibe to suit your event.
Got a special song in mind – like a first dance or a meaningful track? We’re more than happy to learn it, as long as we can do it justice. We’re always honest about what will work well live – not every song suits our setup, but we’ll give it our best and let you know if it’s possible.
There may be a small additional fee for learning bespoke songs, depending on complexity and rehearsal time – but we’ll always discuss this with you upfront.
We’ve been called a lot of things… but don’t worry, it’s mostly good.
Some say we get better with every pint (we’ll take that as a compliment). Others have described our sets as “amorous” – which might be the lighting… or maybe just the magic we bring to the room.
But what we hear most often is that we make people feel something – joy, nostalgia, connection – and that we help them forget their worries for a few hours. Whether it's dancing like no one's watching or singing like everyone's tone-deaf, we create the kind of vibe that sticks with people long after the last chord.
In short? We’re not just background music – we’re a proper good time.
