Customer questions

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

We always work with the same 2 singers, Mikie Blak and/or Talia Janseen.

Do you have different line-up options?

All the tracks we perform need the 6/7 piece lineup.

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

Please give us as much notice if your timings are to change.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £300.

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 I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. Please pick the songs from the set list, but bear in mind wether you have male or female vocalist for your occasion.

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

PA and lighting is not included.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We are happy too learn 2/3 songs for your event, preferably if it's in the funk genre.
