We require a suitable area to play in free from obstructions. About 7 square meters is ideal but we can squeeze down if needed. Two mains sockets are usually enough if they are close to the playing area. It helps to avoid being close to corridors or walkways where people are constantly walking past.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a lighting rig.

We need to know any specific directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue or any other specific requirements.

Typically no as we give a one off fee based on our understanding of the engagement and location. Expenses may be added by agreement if we know in advance what they might be i.e. ferry fees, parking charges etc.

We usually arrive approximately 1.5 hours before we are due to play, which allows for an orderly set up. This may vary if, for example, at a wedding we need to set up early as we are playing in the same room where the ceremony and speeches are taking place, or at a dinner dance where we are playing shortly after the meal.
Performance times vary depending on the engagement and customer requirements. We are flexible with this and will adjust to suit. The most common performance times in our experience are 2 x 1 hour sets, or 3 x 45 minutes sets.

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

We generally play the songs in our set list, which is published so clients know what to expect. For special events such as weddings and anniversaries we will learn specific songs if given sufficient time and notice.

Previous customers would describe us a fun party band playing catchy sing along tunes that everybody knows.
