Customer questions

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Absolutely! Busta Groove is made up of Ollie on lead vocals and guitar, alongside Dean on standing percussion. We're an established duo, not a rotating lineup of musicians, so the performers you see in our videos are the same musicians you'll get at your event.

Do you have different line-up options?

Busta Groove performs as a dedicated two-piece lineup featuring live vocals, guitar, bass arrangements and standing percussion. Our unique setup delivers the energy and full sound of a much larger band, while taking up considerably less space. This is our signature lineup for weddings, parties and corporate events.

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

We understand that event schedules can change, and we're always happy to be flexible wherever possible. Just let us know as soon as you can, and we'll do our best to accommodate any adjustments. Significant changes to performance times or duration may need to be agreed in advance.

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

We can play background music through our PA system between our live sets, helping to keep the atmosphere going throughout your event. If you'd like particular songs or a playlist, just let us know in advance and we'll be happy to discuss arrangements.

How much time do you need to set up?

Our compact setup is one of our biggest advantages! We typically need around 25–30 minutes to get our equipment set up and soundchecked. We arrange arrival times in advance to ensure everything is ready well before your guests expect the live music to begin.

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

Absolutely! You're welcome to let us know your favourites from our repertoire, and we'll do our best to include them. We also use our experience to read the room and tailor the performance to your guests, keeping the energy flowing and the dance floor busy throughout the night.

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

Yes! We provide our own professional PA system and performance equipment, all included in our quoted fee. We have a compact setup that fits comfortably into most venues, while delivering a powerful, full-band sound. Any additional production requirements can be discussed in advance.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We're always happy to consider special song requests! If there's a particular song you'd love us to perform, let us know well in advance and we'll see whether it's suitable for our lineup and style. While we can't guarantee every request, we'll always do our best to make your celebration personal.
