What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
We have performed in many sell out shows in theatres in Wales and have also appeared on TV and radio.
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
We have five vocalists in the band so you get a mix of male and female lead vocals and styles. We always try to make sure that the band in the video is the band you see, however if one falls Ill we do have dep musicians of the same standard that can stand in for them.
Do you have different line-up options?
No smaller options are available but we can add extra musicians if required.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We try to be flexible and make sure our audience get a great show.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes we provide a personalised Free DJ service before, between and after our sets to provide usually four and a half hours of total time, however this can be extended if required at a rate of £100 per hour.
How much time do you need to set up?
Typically 1.5 hours to get the full PA and lighting ready but DJ service can begin as soon as we get the basics PA system in which takes about 45 minutes.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Yes you can however we have crafted songs together in a manner based on the best way to keep the dance floor full and provide high points, slow points and plateaus using stagecraft experience. But we are always happy to discuss how to make our songs best fit the experience you require.
