What is included?
Our standard pricing includes everything you need for a great event, including over 2 hours of live music, a free DJ playlist service when not performing, a powerful p.a. for up to 600 people indoors or 400 people outdoors, and a dynamic computer controlled stage lighting system with haze/smoke machines for a great party atmosphere. We have good communication and a professional proactive approach to planning and co-ordinating events. Our standard service includes on-line meetings to go through all the details of the event with the organiser.
What if the venue has a noise limit?
Many venues have a noise limit for the benefit of the local community and other residents and this will usually prevent the use of an acoustic drum kit. But don't worry, we have this covered. Our standard pricing includes for the use of a top of the range electronic drum kit and a 'silent stage' system so we are able to play at any volume required by the venue. This set up gives a great live sound at any volume and is actually a good option for large venues as well. All of the live videos on this website were recorded using this silent stage set up.
Based in North London
Our song list has a good mix of popular party anthems and well known and loved rock songs and has been carefully chosen to get everyone on the dance floor. We will be happy to put together a set list for your event based on your preference for pop or rock and the age range expected at the event. We are also happy to learn an additional first dance or event specific song for each occasion.
