Frequently Asked Questions

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

We performed at a promotion party for the Leicester City FC players and staff following their promotion to the premier league, it was a great atmosphere with all the players watching, dancing and singing along with us, parading the championship trophy around the room.


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

We have a huge mixture of influences, ranging across a wide array of styles. Bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Linkin Park carved out our teen years. TOTO are probably one of our favourites, their work as a session players with amazing artists such as Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Earth Wind & Fire, Steely Dan and Madonna, plus their original material gives them the edge!


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

Many of us studied music at school and college, continuing through university. This passion for music and gigging morphed into performing at hundreds of weddings, parties and events around the UK and Europe. We all love performing and partying with amazing clients and guests!


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

We love playing at all sorts of events, from parties to corporate events but weddings are our favourite! To see the sheer joy on the bride and grooms faces throughout the day, special, intimate moments during the first dance. The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing, to celebrate their loved ones special day!

Performance Info

90 minute set up time (minimum) - 7:30pm music begins
Typically split live music into 3 sets, 1 x 30 min, 1 x 40 min & 1 x 60 min. This spreads the music out much more evenly across an evening.
We are happy to do 2 sets, these can be 2 x 45 mins, 2 x 60 mins or 1 x 45 min & 1 x 90 min.

Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to perform outside provided the area is flat/level for us to set equipment up on. We require safe power and some cover to either shade us from the sun or protect our equipment from potential rain.


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

Yes. We work closely with clients after booking to give them some control over what we play from our repertoire. We will learn song requests, specifically first dances, father daughter dances etc. We can learn 1 other song that isn't in our repertoire. Clients highlight song preferences from our vast list which we then add or remove songs to our sets depending on whether you love or hate them.
