Based in Salisbury, Wiltshire
= areas covered (up to 155 miles)
= free travel (up to 75 miles)
A space of roughly 7 x 5 meters would be the ideal requirement, however, we will always find a way to make everything fit based on customer/venue requirement. A source of power will be required for any performance area.
Yes, we have our own PA system, as well as access to a simple lighting setup if required.
We would need to know any directions that will help us find the venue, and find the right place to load any equipment, as well as parking. It would also be useful to know if there’s a sound limiter in the venue, however, being an acoustic duo this shouldn't be a cause for any issues.
Yes, we can provide a Spotify playlist before, after and between sets. we are also happy to create a playlist based on the client's taste. This can be decided prior to the event.
We have performed together at many wonderful venues. One of the most stunning would be The Roman Baths in Bath. Otherwise, we have covered quite the variety of venues, whether it be the Fanzone at Southampton FC or The Millenium Centre in Cardiff
We both first performed together in University. Since then we have been members of a very successful function band, which still performs to this day. Out of this we formed our duo, to which we have performed many weddings, birthday parties and functions up and down the UK
Any event where the crowd is enjoying themselves.
We will arrive at a time suitable to the client. Setup takes no longer than 30/45 minutes.
Our performance times can be flexible based on the needs of the client, however, a standard performance will normally be 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets. We can also perform x1 long set (1 hour 30 minutes) should that be more desirable.
We are more than happy to perform outside. Of course, should rain be forecast, then we would need a performance area that would be covered. We would also need a source of power nearby.
We do have a set repertoire that we will usually play to (this can be provided to the client prior to the gig), however, we are always happy to learn new songs upon request prior to the performance. We also consider ourselves very interactive performers, so we will always attempt to work out song requests on the spot.
A very energetic and charismatic performance. A nice blend of piano and acoustic guitar with simple, but effective harmonies. Always gets the crowd singing and dancing one way or another.
