Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
We have two different lineups… The full band is a 5 piece Great for dancing, parties, festivals, etc
The Trio is a great little band, perfect for your front room, in a bar, or a short after dinner music set.
But if it’s dancing after the full band is what you will be wanting…
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No problem to change timings. If we need to get there significantly earlier/leave later, we may need to amend the price depending on the realities of travel and distance.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We can provide a DJ service for an extra £250 or you can simply plug into our PA system with your own iPod. NB if you want DJ lighting there will be an extra charge.
How much time do you need to set up?
The trio takes 20 minutes to set up.
The full band with Drums takes 45 to 60 minutes.
We like to arrive an hour ahead of time with trio, and two hours ahead of time with the full band.
Can you roam around while you perform?
The trio can do a semi roaming set. This means we can play a song or two directly to one table, then move to another table elsewhere in the room for another couple of songs, and do this for up to an hour (using just a handheld mic for the singer into a tiny battery amp the size of a shoebox)
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
We are happy to guarntee to do one or two Songs of your choosing from us that list, but there’s a certain flow to the evening which we like to get right by drawing up a great set list taking into account one or two requests.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
We include a small PA suitable for 60 to 120 guests in our quote. We can supply floor lights and a slightly larger PA for up to 200 people as a small extra cost (£150) or we can book in a professional sound engineer and full lighting PA rig… price on enquiry.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes! If they will fit into our set in future we’re very happy to do this, and would ask for an extra 50 quid per player for the rehearsal (250 quid total)
