Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
Yes, we're entirely flexible and can go from 4 singers up to 40. Our usual line up for carol singing is 10 singers (SSSAATTBBB).
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We aim to be as flexible as possible and will always work to make your event fantastic, however the timings change.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We come without the need for any accompaniment or any amplification, so this isn't something we do, we're afraid!
How much time do you need to set up?
We can turn up and go - whatever the space and time limitations, we can deliver wonderful carol singing.
Can you roam around while you perform?
Absolutely - we've done this at the British Gallery before, and various carolling events
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
You're very welcome to ask for specific carols, but we've now fine-tuned (over 10 years!) a list that perfectly captures traditional and modern, fast and slow etc - we think you'll love it: all of our many other bookers and their guests have!
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes!
Can you learn song requests before the event?
We have an arranging service for pieces you'd like which is £150 per new piece.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
We're an exciting, young choir and we pride ourselves on our professionalism and musicality. We exceed every expectation of carol singers one could have: the arrangements are all in full, multi-part harmony and we have lots of modern arrangements that are sensitively sung. Ultimately, we deliver Christmas through music & thats why so many brands ask us back!
