Verified profile

We got together in March 2018 to play some of our favourite tunes and realised that there were similar people who loved these songs too! A number of gigs in our local pubs later, and we were asked to play at a number of local weddings, now we're flying! We can't wait to bring this music to you and your guests - you'll be singing along, dancing along, and having a fab time - we won't rest until we've achieved this goal! All of us in the band are professional musicians and know what it takes to make your day magical. We'll be working closely with you to make sure no stone is unturned in getting everything ready for your event, liaising with the venue, getting setup quickly and playing awesome songs!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes. We can offer solo, duo, trio and quartet band sizes depending on your needs, and budget, although we really are primarily a four-piece party machine!

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

No problem! Let us and know and it's highly likely it will be perfectly fine. Any significant changes may incur additional cost, but we are always aware that timings can be slightly fluid on the big day!

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

Absolutely. We include this as standard before, between and after sets (typically while setting up and packing away), but we can also extend this for an extra fee. Let us know what you need and we'll work something out!

How much time do you need to set up?

90mins is the ideal minimum for the four piece band.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Absolutely... this would typically be more the case if you want the music to be backing a meal or drinks reception. We're experts at this and love entertaining guests up close and in small groups. We have battery amplification too, so we can wander in the remotest of places and still be heard! Our main thing is the full band vibe, but can do both!

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

Yes, absolutely, although it's sometimes better to let us know which songs you'd prefer NOT to hear. We've built the set to enable us to follow the vibe of the dancefloor and keep guests entertained, so like to have flexibility to play the songs which are going to make the party memorable for being the best ever!

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

It most certainly is! All PA and lights will come to every event we perform. If we're to play a large venue (200+ guests), then it's possible we may need to hire additional equipment, but let us know and we'll work something out!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

You bet we can! First dances, favourite songs... just let us know! We will need advance notice, and we'll need to confirm it's possible with time and instrumentation in advance, but it's very rare it can't be done!

What do your clients love most about your performances?

They love our attention to detail, our varied and fun set which never fails to fill the dance floor!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We've played many wedding venues all over the UK. Sometimes it's pubs, or beer gardens, in forests, barns and many others!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Mumford and Sons, Lumineers, Coldplay, Oasis, Stevie Wonder, and many more.

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

Each one of the many weddings over the last couple of years! You won't have seen us on the TV, but we treat every performance as the most important one, because it's YOUR most important one.

Just back from honeymoon! Thanks again for the music at our wedding - I'll never forget how everyone went mad for Mr. Brightside at the end!! Seriously though, you were fab and I wish you all the best.
