Frequently Asked Questions

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

We have performed around Beds, Herts & Bucks for the past year. Our favourite would have to be a Party at 3 St Peter’s in Bedford. It’s a small venue but intimate and has a grand piano!


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

Queen: Their music is timeless and adored by pretty much any age group. We also use 3 vocalists and have a lot of their songs in our library.

However one of the greatest songs written would have to be Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls, lyrically beautiful song!


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

We formed through the open mic scene. Our lead singer, Chris, had come off the back of a stint singing on P&O. And initially came together for a one off gig. A year later and we’re going from strength to strength!


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

Any event is great for us. Our favourites are usually celebrations! It’s a great feeling to make someone’s big day that extra special!
