Headlining Bristol Harbourfest on a beautiful Summer's day was a gig to remember.
We joined a massive team of entertainment for a private Summer party in Axminster at a gorgeous country mansion, countless elaborate decorations in every corner of an enormous marquee. Guests, walls & grounds were all decorated phenomenally, so we made sure we & the stage were decorated equally well!
Our influences as individuals are a real mix of everything: Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bernard Purdie, Slash, Nile Rodgers, Metallica, Alicia Keys, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Eminem, Queens of The Stone Age, Stone Temple Pilots & Led Zeppelin.
As well as being her biggest vocal influence, Alicia Keys is Ally's favourite artist.
Coming from a Heavy background, Aaron's favourite artists include the likes of Trivium.
Allen's favourite artist is guitarist Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots.
With perhaps the biggest wildcard, drummer Owen's favourite artist is Aurora.
Bassist Allen & drummer Owen founded the band during quite possibly the most difficult time for a musician - the global lockdown of 2020. Once they'd built the band's reputation after social distancing faded away, guitarist Aaron was invited to the group in 2022. Not able to join until early 2025, lead vocalist Ally formally joined the band after a few one-off guest appearances in the year prior. Since then, the lineup have played a number of weddings, birthdays, festivals and events all across the UK!
We've had huge varieties of responses from all types of events. We've played family-only back-garden events and huge fields full of people. We've played small social clubs & enormous halls. Our favourite type of event is one where people, in crowds large or small, are in the best of moods - ready to dance & sing and appreciate a live band.
We normally arrive anywhere up to 2.5 hours before our first set to set up and soundcheck. We normally perform for 2x1 hours, however we are happy to perform for the amount of time to client requests.
Yes, we are happy to perform outside but we ask for shade and a power supply close by.
Yes. We let clients pick the full set from our repertoire and we can learn up to 3 songs for them also. We are also happy to select the setlist or offer advice on which songs we find work best, depending on the crowd.
Previous customers would describe us at having great interaction and having the dance floor packed from start to finish.
