Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our clients most love our punctuality, professionalism and amazing sounding performances!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
As a band, we have performed at private parties around the country. Individually as musicians we have performed in some amazing venues, including White Rock Theatre, Hastings, G-Live Guildford, Dublin Castle, Camden, The Hope and Ruin, Brighton
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
We have a great variety of influences between us. Everything from Duke Ellington, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and Ed Sheeran.
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
Yes, we strive to make sure the line up is the same as you see in the videos. The lead singer will always be the same. We do have pre auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our main line up is as follows : Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar and Drums.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA during the band breaks, we provide this for an additional £150
How much time do you need to set up?
We like to drive at the venue around 3 hours before the guests arrive. This gives us time to set the band equipment up and have a sound check before people arrive. We are also happy to provide playlists through our PA to get your guests ready to the live performance!
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
All equipment is included in the quote.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you, providing enough time is given.
