Customer questions

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

All of our members are well travelled and seasoned musicians who have played many hundreds of shows and festivals.

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

Yes

Do you have different line-up options?

We can do a reduced line up without the brass section, however, we feel that detracts from the music especially the soul numbers.

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. IPod Service in between sets or back ground music prior to our show starting is included in the band fee, however, separate evening DJ and / or day time audio enhancement (wedding speeches etc.) are additional costs that will be agreed in advance of any booking.

How much time do you need to set up?

Usual set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time but does depend on load in restrictions/parking etc. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

Yes

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

Yes. As a seven piece band including PA we do need approximately 20m2 floor space.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it and will gladly include at no extra cost. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you, however reserve the right to advise that it may not be possible. There is a fee of £50 for any other additional songs for rehearsal times etc.
