Customer questions

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

Yes - 100% Wendy, the female singer is always the lead vocalist for ANY lineup! Any additional male singers may vary. The male singers seen in the videos can be arranged if specifically wanted but any others will also be of the same great standard!

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes - Acoustic duo, trio and quartet all the way up to 10 piece big band. Take your pick!

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

We can be flexible within reasonable time frames so just give us a ring :)

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

Yes, we can do that. If a DJ service is required it may cost more. Please see 'extras' pricing. It depends what you're after so please ask.

How much time do you need to set up?

90 mins from arrival to start to load in setup and sound check for an average sized band (duo to 6 piece). Anything bigger and I allow 2 hours.

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

You are welcome to give us a list of preferred artists and tracks and we will tailor as much as we can. If specific songs are to be learned that aren't on the repertoire then we charge for this, so please see 'extras' price listing.

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

Yes. PA - 2 x 2000w EV speakers. 1 x 1000w Bass Bin. 4 x Lighting Rigs. All cables, bells and whistles!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our energy and professionalism... We're not your average wedding/function band musicians. We have a wealth of professional experience and have played with and supported acts like Van Morrison, James Arthur, Shirley Bassey, Joss Stone, Aretha Franklin and many more. Despite being life long pro musicians we all still LOVE what we do and we feel that shows...

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

As a band we play regularly on the main stage, main slot at The Ned Central London, Ronnie Scotts, Soho House, Southbank Centre and many more. Individually we have had the honour of playing at: The O2, Wembley, Hollywood Bowl, New York Jazz Fest, Main stage Glastonbury, London Palladium and Earls Court Arena to name a few.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

We all collectively love old school funk and soul so probably a combo of Aretha Franklin, James brown and a more modern sprinkle of Jamiroquai. However, we can play anything...

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

We have an upcoming performance at an awards ceremony at The O2. We also play the main stage at The Ned Central London regularly as a 5 piece jazz band, a trio and a duo having regular residency appearances there.

Wendy's voice was absolutely fabulous. Her singing was so beautiful and their choice in songs gave the whole evening a really upbeat vibe, just what we needed for our Christmas party.

The Temple Band were fantastic for our daughters wedding. All of the communication with Wendy before the event was great and they really were professional on the day. They all sounded amazing!! Thank you so much.

I booked these guys (a 6 piece band with sax) for my daughters 30th birthday party and we were absolutely blown away. From start to finish they were professional, lovely and as for the live music... it was second to none. All our family and friends were asking about them for future bookings and their performance really made our evening a memorable one. Thank you Temple!!! x
