Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We offer performances for classical voice with any combination of orchestral players or accompanists incl. piano and organ. We also offer performances to bespoke playback productions, or only instrumental ensembles as well (e.g. string quartet, chamber ensemble).

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 very popular request and we offer this service as well as DJ/playback services via our PA after the final performance, for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Our musicians either perform acoustically or with microphones attached to our instruments so we can move around freely. Our operatic performances particularly can be performed in scene depending on the venue.

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

Most certainly. We are happy to arrange any other pieces of music upon request too.

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

PA is included for bookings above GBP 1000

Absolutely.
