Singing couple with additional options as needed (an extra guitarist-singer and/or a full band of instruments).
Live Singing performances at events (either track singing, or accompanied by a live instrumental band).
Can cater for large or small occasions with a range of formats to suit budgets (track singing for smaller capacity / budget event, going all the way to a full instrumental band for a full event experience).
Multi-lingual singing abilities (Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu) and a selection of English numbers also as needed.
Music for your corporate, social parties or personal celebrations (e.g. wedding, birthday, anniversary, etc.).

We play songs across the entire spectrum of:
Bollywood: From the 60s to current days - Hemant Kumar to Kishore Kumar to Arijit Singh.
Tamil: From MSV to Illayaraja... to Rahman and Anirudh hits covering all eras of singers.
Malayalam: Here again, an entire range from the golden oldies of the '60s to current beats.
English: A very limited set of songs from my all time favourites, Eric Clapton, Dire Straits.
Power requirements close to the performance area to accommodate the sound, lighting, etc.
A small table to manage the laptop for playing the songs.
Yes, we are completely self-contained and manage our own equipment needed for the musical performances (PA system, laptop, stands and lighting). Where instrumental music is needed, this can also be brought.
Size of venue and number of guests expected.
Can do.
Most recent occasions include Park Hall Hotel, Wolverhampton for a 70th Birthday Party (150 guests) and a Wedding Reception at the Grand Palace Banqueting Suite London (200 guests). Besides these, we have performed across a wide range of prestigious venues in England - from shows and concerts at Corn Exchange in Newbury (600 capacity), Hexagon in Reading (1200 capacity), Garth Hill Auditorium Bracknell (300 capacity) as well as a number of smaller venues and home parties and Bollywood Night performances at large pubs / restaurants etc. (from 30 - 100 guests)
Impossible to name one artist or song... I would say Kishore Kumar, Rafi, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle, Arijit Singh, Yesudas, SP Balasubramaniam, Illayaraja...and the list goes on!
Been a singer since my University days and have been singing since then. In recent years, with a much better work/life balance, I have started spending more time on my musical passion and dialled up my singing performances.
I also have good experience in conducting events for the Indian diaspore for the last 2 decades (Initially in West Berkshire and last 10 years, conducting events more broadly across the UK).
Live Music events with a high-energy and passionate music-loving audience who love to "sing along" or dance to our fast numbers.
Equally, a small group who relish and love the beauty of soulful melodies and slow songs ...
We normally arrive 30 minutes to an hour before the performance to set up.
The most common performance tends to be 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets.
Yes, but would need a power supply close by and some shade as protection from sun or rain for us and mainly the equipment :-)
Yes, absolutely, we love more engagement and involvement from the client side.
They say we are a couple with great musical talent and passion who complement each other really well, which raises the overall event experience.
We are a multi-lingual couple who can provide performances in Hindi (Bollywood), as well as Tamil and Malayalam.
We can also perform a few songs in English if needed.
This depends on the budget and experience you are looking for.
Karaoke set-up would be the starting point and we have a good database of songs to perform from across the languages.
If there is interest and budget, we can add a few instruments (e.g. guitar + vocals) or a full set of instruments (guitar, keyboard, percussions).
