Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Although we play many very well-known numbers, we also make a point of including not so often played numbers that we have found people particularly enjoy.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Private parties Corporate parties Public parties (shows and street parties) Clubs Pubs

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The list of influences is extremely wide, but mainly includes "exciting" or otherwise emotive music.

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

Yes - Karl is our full-time front man! However, although very unlikely, it is just possible that one or more of our normal line-up may be replaced by known deps in the case of illness etc.

Do you have different line-up options?

We may be able to offer a 4 piece line-up if this is more in line with the client's needs. Please contact us to discuss possibilities. Our normal line-up is Vocals, 2 x Guitar/Synth, Bass and Drums.

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

We will always try our hardest to accommodate changes in clients' timing requirements, always bearing in mind that we have other commitments which may clash. Communication is the key, and clients should contact us as soon as possible if a change is required.

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

We will be happy to provide a wide selection of incidental music before the performance and during any break between sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

Different events and venues will always demand different set up times dependent upon various factors. However, as a rule of thumb, a minimum of 1 hour and an absolute maximum of 2 hours can usually be relied upon. We will normally do a site survey in advance to ensure we are aware of any specific challenges.

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

Our normal set list is constantly changing and is always geared to maximum audience enjoyment, and we will offer a particular list on agreement. If additional or alternative songs are requested, we will always discuss this with the client.

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

Yes - all PA and lighting equipment is included in our normal quote. Please note we no longer offer the use of smoke machines as these are often contrary to fire regulations at specific venues.

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. We will always discuss the logistics of this with the client, and agree on any price revisions resulting from the additional material.
