We need a performance space of at least 1.6m x 1.5m. We also require 2 mains electricity sockets, unless our clients wish us to perform acoustically.
we provide our own amplification. we don't usually perform at high volumes.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue
yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music, in which case we would require a playlist in advance.
We are a fairly new duo and have only played small venues up to now such as The Doric in Edinburgh, The Ensign Ewart in Edinburgh, The Harbour Chapel in Dunbar and The Station yard in Dunbar. We have enjoyed them all. Our guitarist and singer has performed at Carnegie Hall in Dunfermline at the Wee Fife Folk Festival 2024, this was his most favourite gig.
We are both heavily driven by our love of traditional songs and tunes. Robert Burns and Robert Tannahill play a significant part in our set. As for what is the greatest song of all time, “Westlin Winds” by Robert Burns is a major contender.
We have both had experience of gigging in the uk and the rest of western Europe. We started gigging together in Edinburgh and the surrounding area. We have played small pub gigs, sessions and functions/parties.
Anywhere with a good atmosphere especially where people are wanting to listen to traditional music.
We normally arrive 1.5 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 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.
Yes, we are happy to perform outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. Overhead shelter is required if it is raining for the safety of our equipment and everyone at the event.
We can learn specific songs for any event if given advance warning but most of our set is the songs and tunes which we feel best fits our style. We play mainly tradition songs.
“Great folk duo played one of my events I organised in my community worth booking and listening to very much a unique and different sound from many other bands/duos”
