Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of our favourite gigs was performing for Down Hall for their beautiful festive afternoon tea. It was a spectacular display of cakes and treats and it was a real pleasure to provide the soundtrack to the day.


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

We are huge fans of the Postmodern Jukebox style and it's always great to see people's faces when they realise we've taken a pop song or rock classic and given it the 1940s treatment.


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

We are all professional singers and musicians and have years of training and experience under our belts, but together, we have been performing since 2018.


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

We don't have a favourite style of event as we are happiest when we are entertaining our audience, so whether it's a garden party, classic car event or vintage festival, we are happy.


How long do you perform for?

Our standard set times are either 2 or 3 x 45 minutes but our set timings are always tailored to the event.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 1.5-2 hours before a performance and our usual performance times are 2 or 3 x 45 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Of course, as long as there is sufficient cover for rain and extreme sun, and ideally with the power supply nearby.


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

We have a repertoire list that we are happy for our clients to choose specific songs they would like to hear.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our performances have been described as entertaining, very professional and fun.


Can I request a song?

Yes, of course. We have a set list of songs you can pick from or if there is a certain song you'd love to hear that we don't have on our list, as long as we have enough time to learn it, you are welcome to make requests.
