Yes, We are completely self contained. We bring our own PA system and have a great lighting package for both the stage and dancefloor.
There are a few things we would like to know about your venue before the event date such as:
If they have parking or access close to the event room, is there a sound limiter, does the band have access to a storage room. We are happy to communicate with the venue if given a contact name and email.
Yes, we provide a playlist service for free as standard. We can also work with requests from the client if given them in advance. Our playlist is unmanned as when it is playing we will usually be finalizing set up, having something eat or packing up the equipment.
We have played a wide range of shows, and we enjoy every single one. We have played some wonderful venues, such as the Ageas bowl and St Mary's Stadium in Southampton.
The band members have a wide range of influences, in truth to many to mention :) If its music you can dance to, then you can be sure we have heard it.
The members of the band have all got many years experience and have played in various bands all across the world. From the UKs best Greenday tribute band, playing in the USA, to opening for Bon Jovi you can trust the band to provide a great nights entertainment.
We love playing weddings. To be part of one of the biggest days in the clients lives really gives us a buzz like no other.
Yes, If we are made aware of your venue having a sound limiter we will bring an electric drumkit. This along with our sound technician will make sure the levels are kept sounding their best giving peace of mind to both you and the venue.
The Band perform 120 minutes of music split over 2 x 60 minute sets (as standard). We also offer a cheaper 1 x 90 minute set list.
We include a “DJ style” playlist as standard in our quote. This is played before our sets, during the interval, and when our 2nd set finishes.
The band will arrive at the venue at 1800 and begin loading in equipment. Earlier arrival times may incur an extra fee.
The band require 60 minutes to set up all our equipment and perform a line check. We then ask for 15 minutes of uninterupted time for a complete sound check.
The band will aim to finish live music at 2330 as standard. The DJ playlist will run to Midnight. These times can be agreed beforehand with the client.
Weather dependent, absolutely.
We ask that trust is placed in the band to use their years of experience to cater a set list for your event. We create a set list which seamlessly blends together and flows. We can take recommendations of songs which the client doesn't want to hear.
High Energy, Professional, Fun and above all else something for everyone.
