Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need a performance space of 5m x 3m minimum.
Minimum 2 x 13amp power sockets.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We provide all sound and lighting equipment.


What information do you require about a venue?

We'd need to know if they have their own PA system or a sound limiter.


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

Yes we're happy to play Spotify playlists before and between sets. Happy for you to have input into those songs.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We mainly play private events such as weddings and birthday parties but also occasionally have played at festivals and at Twickenham Rugby club to several hundred guests.


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

We love playing covers of songs that people want to dance to.


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

We formed the band in 2015 and initially played pubs and clubs in London to get some live experience. Since then, we've moved on to weddings and events and have gathered several awards along the way.


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

We love playing at all events. Our aim is to give guests a top night!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2/3 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 3 x 40 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?

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Please refer to our extensive 5 star reviews.


Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band, our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.


What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We usually begin at around 8/9 PM and play for around 2 hours but this is flexible and will be agreed upon with you prior. We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let us know.


Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. We usually play 2 sets of 60 minutes each with a short break in between. We can play Spotify playlists when we are not on stage, eg background music whilst guests eat and more lively stuff for those who have the energy when we have finished. But we recommend a DJ if you’d like to keep the party going!
