We need a performance space of at least 2 meters x 2 meters. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and a parking space for events outside London.
Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig for DJ sets.
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
We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing.
Yes, and very happy for clients to choose our set from our repertoire.
We normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play longer, depending on what the client prefers, but there may be an additional fee if over 120 mins.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade where possible, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them. We are able to learn a song for an additional fee (£60 for one, £100 for two) to cover learning and rehearsal time.
As very experienced musicians that have performed at hundreds of events over the years, ensuring all clients feel as though they are in capable hands! Our extensive song list allows us to move easily between either chilled background music or more lively songs to get the crowd on their feet - and we’re very experienced in reading the room and knowing what’s required!
