SmallTalk's Reviews

5 out of 5

Thank you all so much for everything last night, I loved it. It really made for a great atmosphere for the party. I’ll certainly be recommending you to anyone who needs a band!

5 out of 5

We hired SmallTalk as our wedding band and cannot recommend them highly enough. We were able to pick our favourite songs from their vast setlist as well as them learning a special song that meant something to us! They were able to get the crowd going and it really felt like we had friends playing at our wedding, a true sign of a band committed to making your event the best they can!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Previous customers have often complemented us on our choice of music for the event and knowing exactly what the guests want to hear as well as being part of the fun and joining in with the celebrations.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Grand Hotel, Brighton Doubletree Hilton Metropole Hotel, Brighton East Court, East Grinstead All Saints Centre, Lewes Southlands Barn, East Chiltington Hickstead Hotel, Hickstead

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

Your event is our priority. If a member becomes unavailable due to illness or an emergency, we have a pool of professional musicians who regularly dep for us. They know our set inside-out, so the performance quality is never affected.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Singer, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drummer. We also have an 5 piece option that includes a keyboard player. We can also add a professional DJ to keep the party going once the band has stopped performing.

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know

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

Yes. We provide background or party music between sets so the atmosphere never drops while we take a breather.

How much time do you need to set up?

We can set up in around 1 and a half hours if needed, but ideally we prefer at least 2 hours to check everything, run cables safely and perform a full soundcheck.

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.

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

We provide our own PA system, stage lighting and FX, plus background music if required.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We’re happy to consider requests if we’re given advance notice. We’ll always try our best, but we can’t guarantee every song will be possible depending on the style, arrangement or instrumentation.
