Acoustic band

London

Public liability insurance of £1 million

We are a 5/6 piece band from North London who play Irish songs and tunes and love playing each year on St Patrick's Day. We play all the favourite sing along songs as well as jigs, reels, polkas, fiddle and whistle tunes, some Pogues numbers and also have a good repertoire of other songs for a mixed set. We have both male and female singers and we are all multi instrumentalists so there are lots of lush sounds and harmonies going on. Our drummer is a dab hand on the bodhrán. We play accordian, fiddle, double bass, whistles, ukuleles, guitar. We have our own pa sound system that we normally provide at gigs. We are also able to play outdoors with our battery amps if no power source is available. If there is a particular song you request just let us know and if we have time we are happy to incorporate new material.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Everyone in the audience seems to enjoy themselves. We have a lot of variety in our music and everyone in the band is a multi instrumentalist.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Prospect of Whitby pub on the Thames, The Wonder pub in Enfield, The Black Horse in Kingston, St Patrick's events, parties, birthday events, weddings, farmers markets and many many more.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Too many to mention

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

Sand Banks Jazz Café, Black Tooth Productions live theatre events.

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, we are able to also offer accordion and violin, or other smaller options for a smaller budget. We also have regular dep musicians so that we are able to fulfil our commitments if one member of the band isn't available. These are people who play with us regularly and who know and understand our songs and sound of the band.

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

We are pretty easy going, just be in communication with us and we will do our best to get everything running smoothly for you.

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

Yes, no problem. We have songs a plenty for our break or before or after we start, just let us know.

How much time do you need to set up?

Normally about an hour but it all depends on the environment. Sometimes we can be a bit quicker but an hour is nice and relaxing and gives us enough time to get everything right

Can you roam around while you perform?

A few of us can if we are not plugged in to amplification equipment. Violin, accordion and percussion is easy to roam around with but a double bass not so easy...
