Frequently Asked Questions

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

With this lineup the best gig would have to be a recent show at Lil' Nashville in London. This is the most popular country music venue in the capital and we played to an enthusiastic crowd of 300 people.


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

We're a female-fronted country band so Dolly Parton of course - we always feature a tribute to her. Emmylou Harris is another major influence. More recently we've been impressed by the songwriting skills of award winners like Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson and Maren Morris, and among the boys, we love Chris Stapleton.


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

Two of us were previously in a country band and decided to get back on the road with some talented recruits. We've all played various kinds of music, for example our pedal steel player Paul is in a sea shanty band and our drummer plays jazz funk. The cross-pollination is bound to help us in our quest to become the leading country band around.


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

Of course weddings and birthdays are always joyful events but we love playing for any crowd who just want to listen to some fine country music and have a little fun!


Do you play classic country like Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton?

We certainly include the all-time greats and several crowd-favourites in the set. We also like to play the newer artists that have emerged in the past few years, especially as our audience often has younger members who listen to country radio and know all the latest hits.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We are happy to play 2 x 45 or 2 x 60 minute sets, or longer if required, and we generally take a 15 minute break between sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely we are, and have done so many times in these increasingly dry summers. We would request some kind of cover due to our unpredictable climate and the need to keep everything dry for safety reasons. Playing on grass isn't easy as the drums need a stable base, and of course there needs to be a power supply close by.


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

We guarantee to play any song as a first dance, provided we have sufficient notice, and are happy to learn one or two more songs if requested. Apart from these, we have a repertoire that can be seen on our website.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have praised our singer for her outstanding vocals and for the musicianship of our instrumentalists. We always seek to engage with our audience and ensure that everyone feels involved in the show, whether simply enjoying the music or getting on the dance floor and maybe even trying a little line dancing.


Do you provide a line dance caller?

Not at the moment but this is something we'd be happy to look into.
