Established in 2005 we have earned a firm reputation as one of the best event bands in the UK. Having performed over 1800 events we consistently provide unforgettable shows for your guests with quality renditions of popular hits performed with bags of energy and crowd interaction. No shoe-gazers allowed in this band! Available in line-ups from 3 to 9 piece, including male & female singers and horn sections, we can also provide acoustic music for cocktails and dinner, with DJ's to fill in the rest of the night. We use only the very best sound systems and top quality lighting rigs. Over the years we have expanded into a collective so we have the capacity to put on up to 5 events per night with the same high standards of performance and professionalism. This also provides significant redundancy in the rare instance of illness. Aside from the onstage skills, we pride ourselves on prompt client communication to make sure that all runs smoothly from time of booking through to the event itself. Don't hesitate to get in touch and arrange a video call with us!

Hi there, Hope you are all well and that you've had a wonderful Bank Holiday. Now that some of the post wedding chaos has subsided, we just wanted to get in touch to say a huge, huge thank you to you guys for the most incredible performance and just the best night at Pimhill on the 20th! We had SO much fun, and you guys are just utterly brilliant. The party was just absolutely everything we wanted, and you made it, so just a massive thank you from us - we're forever grateful! We have had countless guests commenting on the night and since about how incredible you were - you really were stand out and absolutely made our day! Thanks again - and hopefully you'll be getting some future bookings from the many of our guests that wanted to know all about you! All the best, Rebecca and Nick :)

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The interaction, the fun and the energy.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We have performed at hundreds of venues all over the UK.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

It's not so much influences but what songs and artistes we think we make a party! So that would include everything from Elvis & The Beatles through Abba, Queen, Elton John to Bruno Mars & Dua Lipa!

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

There's been a few, including Rachel Riley's wedding. Most are private events for weddings and corporate dinners.

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

Mostly yes - we have a selected team of musicians from which we pick as we are able to put out up to 5 line-ups per night. These musicians are all auditioned and fully trained to maintain our super awesome show and guard our hard-won reputation

Do you have different line-up options?

3pc - Drums, Bass, Guitar (all with vocals) 4pc - Add Keys with vocals 5pc - Add dedicated lead singer (male or female) 6pc - Either male and female lead singers, or Sax added 7pc - Male & Female Lead singers & Sax 8pc - Adding a 3pc horn section to the 5pc 9pc - Male Singer, Female Singer, 3pc horn section, drums, bass, guitar, keys

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

This is usually not an issue unless setup times are significantly earlier or performance times go after midnight.

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

We will provide unattended playlists for free. DJ sets by a band member will be £150 until 1am. Dedicated professional DJ's are usually £400+

How much time do you need to set up?

About 60-90 minutes

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

Our number one aim is to keep your dancefloor full and that's from years of experience getting the choice and order of songs right, but of course we want to make sure it is the vibe you are looking for. Let's chat through your favourites and any you really don't want to hear and we'll incorporate them into the set.

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

PA & Lighting is included up to a max of about 300 guests. Beyond that we may need to hire in more equipment.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Absolutely - we always include learning a special song, and are quite flexible with other requests. If there are quite a few requests we may have to charge an extra fee for the rehearsal time and this will be dependent on the size of the lineup. Usually it's £25 per player per song e.g. 4pc lineup would be £100/song.
