Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable.

Even if it isn't Katie singing we promise that the singer will definitely be brilliant!

Question 2

Do you have different line-up options?

Accepted Answer

Latimo's unique arrangements of classic tunes works as an 8 piece band - you wouldn't want it any smaller!

We do offer smaller 2 or 3 piece jazz ensembles for earlier in the day for receptions etc.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Then we work to them. Weddings have a lot of moving parts and we understand that timings sometimes need to change. We generally try to keep an open and relatively continuous dialogue to keep you happy with timings so just say.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Definitely. If you would like us to keep the PA set up for an hour or two after the set then we can come to a separate arrangement with that.

Question 5

How much time do you need to set up?

Accepted Answer

This is always dependent on the format of the wedding. Ideally we would have an hour and a half to two hours minimum to set up and sound check etc but this doesn't always fit the timings. It gets sorted either way.

Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Sure. There are certain staple tunes that work on nearly every crowd which we would be unwilling to part with - this isn't our first rodeo! However, if you have particular preferences or any strong musical hatreds then we'll definitely listen... unless the latter is Robbie Williams. 
Robbie stays.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Yes, unless you want it all for a much longer time than the band set. Again, this can be discussed closer to the time.

Question 8

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are an 8 piece band though and the arrangements we generally do can often strongly differ from the original. This means that we do charge extra for specific requests which accounts for arranging time, copying the scores, rehearsal and the performance.

Question 9

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Accepted Answer

It's big, loud and cool; Tunes that you have heard a thousand times played in often very different ways.

We work to a 'more is more' mindset which means that there isn't anything subtle about Latimo but it will do good things to your dance floor.

Question 10

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Accepted Answer

Well. Quite a few. Loads of wedding venues, swanky and otherwise. We've done Cheltenham Jazz Festival the last four years in a row, The Pheasantry in Chelsea(X3) the 229 club, Hideaway Streatham, Off The Cuff, The Boisdale of Canary Wharf (X4), the Hippodrome in Leicester Square and countless pubs and clubs, generally less swanky, more otherwise.

Question 11

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Accepted Answer

Stevie Wonder, The Cat Empire, Trombone Shorty, Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Tower of Power, Busty and the Bass, Caravan Palace etc.

Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

We're not at liberty to divulge that information.
