Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We are relatively flexible with how much space we need. We can trim down our equipment and setup time for the smaller performance space. A minimum of 2 plug sockets on either side of the performance space is ideal.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes we provide absolutely everything.


What information do you require about a venue?

Any load in information is always helpful. Being as close to the performance space as possible helps minimise carrying equipment long distances. We need to know in advance if a sound limiter is a factor.


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

We can and it is part of our price guide and often included in our higher packages.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The one where we made a sweet old man cry with our rendition of Purple Rain.


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

Queen are collectively our favourite band.


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

Matt and Saxon have been gigging around 12 years collectively. We've performed well over a thousand gigs in this time in varying formats (duo, trio & full band) at a host of events including, festivals, weddings, pubs, corporate events and clubs.

During this time Matt and Saxon have also had multiple residencies at different venues across the northwest as well as running some popular open mics in the north west too.


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

Private parties are fun. It's nice to be trusted with such a personal occasion and have the responsibility to ensure everyone has a great time.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We generally arrive to most performances with around 90 minutes until our performance time. Setting up usually takes around 45 minutes and we use the rest of the time to address any issues with equipment if there are any.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Unless there is any extreme weather we are happy to accomodate playing outside!


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

We offer different priced packages based on requests and we can offer the client the opportunity to choose our entire setlist. This can be expensive as it's a lot of work on our part, but something we have done previously and are happy to do for any event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients love our versatility and the range of our setlists, we always try to cater to everyone in the room.


Do you require a deposit?

We require a 20% deposit to confirm any private booking.

No deposit is required for public events. Just a booking confirmation.
