Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Arrival is around 2 hours before the performance or as agreed with clients.
Set options offered are 2 x 60 mins OR 3 x 40 mins and timings are flexible to suit each event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to perform outside with some cover (gazebo) and a flat stable floor - power will be needed near the area.


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

We don't perform to a strict playlist but rather are guided on the night by what your party guests are enjoying and they quickly get a good feel of what to play to get everyone up and dancing. That said we do ask clients (if they want) to pick 10 songs from the repertoire list that they really like and 10 that they really DON'T like, this gives us a good idea of your preferences and gives them something to start with. However, if you're happy to leave it to us then that's fine too.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

New Soul reads the room with uncanny precision—They build tension, create release and
ride the wave of the crowd’s energy, taking the music to places no one saw coming — often crafting fresh material on the spot, ensuring a truly original experience.
