Customer questions

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

We have one main Vocalist/Frontman guitarist, plus three other members of the group also feature on some songs. All members provide harmonies & backing to the main Vocalist. Our Band is as you see them in our videos. We are a permanent group who have been playing together for many years, although occasionally we do need to bring in a dep player.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our Line Up is mainly fixed at five musicians although we have added to this on some occasions. The line up is ............. Drums, Bass Guitar, Rhythm/Lead Guitar, Lead/Rhythm Guitar, Alto/Tenor Saxophone/Keyboard.

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

We are very flexible on timings & setting up & are always happy to fit in with whatever arrangements are made. Please advise on any changes ASAP. On one occasion we had to move to another Venue/Location because the power supply had failed soon after we had started playing. The Client was very happy with a very successful evening in the end.

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

Our PA System is very adaptable & can accept CD Player, iPod & other attachments either provided by the Client or by ourselves for break times & before playing time. (ie background music during Dinner) If this service is required following, or after the Band playing time there would be an extra charge of £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

We need approx 1.5 hours to set up & sound check. It is always helpful to know the opening & access times of the Venue as we could arrive at an earlier time. It is also helpful to know if the event is all in one area. (ie Reception/Dinner in separate room to the dance floor)

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

We have a large Playlist of popular music to choose from & we are happy for the Client to pick songs from our list. Other suggestions are always welcome as our experience means that our repertoire is greater than our Playlist. We need the guests to enjoy the music so our Playlist is designed to get people up & dancing & having a great time.

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

Our quote includes us as a Band. Including Musicians, Instruments, Amplification, PA System. plus Lighting if required. We can fit in to a minimum 6m x 4m space if necessary but extra room is always welcome. We will always need a mains power supply.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Special 'First Dance' Wedding Nos or 'Special Requests' for a Dinner or Birthday or Anniversary Party is always welcome. If not on our Playlist then where possible we would rehearse this in.

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our Clients love the range & variety of music we offer. We play a mix of music that appeals to all ages & types & designed to provide a very happy experience. We cover Rock & Roll, Country, Reggae, Jazzy Standards, Motown, R&B, Rock & Pop all in an exciting mix.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We have played a so many large & small Hotels, Golf Clubs, Bandstands all over the South of the UK that there are too many to list.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

We are mainly influenced by good music from '60's to 2000's Bill Haley, Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Van Morrison, T.Rex, Tom Jones, ELO, Phil Collins, Abba, Queen are some.

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

Most high Profile gig would be 'The Randolph McDonald Hotel', Oxford for New Years Eve. This is the Hotel featured in the 'Morse' TV Series. The gig was a sell out for over 400 people who after a sumptuous Dinner, danced the night away in to a New Year with great acclaim. We spent the next day recovering in the 'Morse' Bar!!!!

We were very pleased with The Revivals Band. They played a good selection of party/dancing music, & we have had several compliments from our family & friends of how great the band were. We had a fantastic evening, & would consider booking them again, if we were arranging any functions in the future, & would definitely recommend them to others.
