Customer questions
Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
The female singer seen in the videos is available at all times and we have an amazing male dep singer to take the place of the male singer seen in the videos on the rare occasion that he is unavailable. But we also have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable and all are of a very high standard.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our main line-up as a 4-piece is as follows: Male and female lead, backing and harmony vocals, Guitar, Keyboard, Drums. Our 5-piece is the same with added bass guitarist, our six-piece also includes a sax player. The trio has male and female lead, backing and harmony vocals, guitar and keyboard, and occasional use of backing tracks for a fuller sound.
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 or on the night just let us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free.
How much time do you need to set up?
Depending on the access to the stage area and the number of musicians, it can take up to 2 hours to be set up and sound checked, but we try to make this 1.5 hours whenever possible. The duo and trio take less time, normally 1 hour.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and experiences learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat and play some or all of your favourites if those would work well for your event.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes, our PA equipment and lights are included in our quotes.
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. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we will do our best to do this for you providing we have enough notice and we have the time to rehearse it. We have always managed to learn every requested song so far.
