I got in touch with StraightFIRE after a recommendation from a long-standing friend but didn't really know what we wanted to do in terms of entertainment for a large family gathering. Sam was so helpful on the phone, listened to all of my thoughts and put together the most perfect performance. They played all of my favorite Motown songs and also some new music that the children enjoyed - everyone thought they were amazing and danced the night away. Thank you so much - I will definitely be in touch again for any future family events.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

How much fun we have on stage and our interactivity with the crowd. We play a huge mix of genres and some remixes people will have never heard before but can't help but dance to.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Individually, in our careers as session musicians, both of us have played at almost every prestigious venue and festival in the country. As a DJ/Sax act, we have played for many classy events and held residencies in France and Spain.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

All sorts from top musicians across Jazz, Pop, Dance and Classical music through to DJs and Producers who have revolutionized a niche within the market.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

For House/Dance music, playing to hundreds of people at the Folie Douce in Val Thorens, France.

Do you have different line-up options?

We can add discuss adding other live instruments to the line-up if you wish. Percussion, guitar and vocals are our most common requests but we most commonly perform as a duo.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Not a problem. We will work with you to accommodate any changes in timings within reason.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We can do but if we are on site with a live DJ then we would usually do this ourselves!

How much time do you need to set up?

It very much depends on the event. We would recommend an hour as a ballpark figure to be on the safe side.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes, our saxophonist will often roam into the crowd to get people going.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our sets have been curated and developed over a lot of live gigs so trust us, we know what we are doing! That being said, if you have some particular favorites then we will always do our best to accommodate those within the set.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, our quote is all inclusive of top end P.A. and a basic lighting rig. We can provide high-end lighting on request through our partner AV business.
