Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
Our line-up is as follows: Vocals (whole group or solo) Banjo, Button Accordion, Guitar / Piano, Piano / Tin Whistle.
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?
We can offer a service like this if you are interested for an extra £150 per hour until the venue closes or until the event is finished.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1 hour 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?
No, we are a static group due to the nature of our instruments and our PA system.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Of course, we’re happy to perform the songs you like and can work with you to ensure you have an amazing time. If there’s any songs you’d like covered, we’d be happy to chat with you to see if it is doable.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
PA is included, however if you would like lighting, this would be an extra expense as we would have to outsource for this service.
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. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
