Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our beautiful voices, broad repertoire and engaging performances.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Royal Albert Hall, Cadogan Hall, Bridgewater Hall, ROH Clore Studio, London Coliseum (International Opera Awards),
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
We have worked around the UK for many of the UK’s major Opera companies, including ENO, ROH, Royal Albert Hall, Opera North, Glyndebourne, Garsington Opera, Park Opera, Grange Festival and many others including BBC Radio Proms in the Park.
Do you have different line-up options?
We range from a solo singer with backing track to full choir (8-32 singers), pianist/organist and/or instrument ensemble.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try to be as flexible as possible, so just get in touch if anything changes.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes! We can provide background music through our PA before and after our sets as a free service. If you require this for more than 15 minutes after our last set there will be an addition charge.
How much time do you need to set up?
This depends on the service booked. We usually set up around 1-1.5 hours before the performance and will need 10-15 minute sound check.
Can you roam around while you perform?
Yes - this can work brilliantly and we’re happy to discuss what you would like to make it work for you and create an exciting and engaging performance for you.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
We have honed our set lists over many gigs to create the best atmosphere for your event, but we are more than happy to chat through requests and ideas so that you have exactly what you need to make your event work for you.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Our PA and lighting is included, we need a minimum of 1.5m2 for 1 performer, 2m2 for 2 performers and so on.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If the song you’re looking for isn’t published on our set list, there is a good chance we do already know it and can include it for you. We also offer a bespoke arrangement service if you’re looking for a special song to be performed. There is an addition fee for this, starting at £50 for a simple arrangement. Options beyond this are quoted individually.
