The Hit List played at our wedding last weekend - and what a night that was! The band really got the party started with tonnes of energy, super vocals, and played hit after hit! We can't thank them enough for learning our first dance. Stu was great to liaise with, with brilliant communication from start to finish. Many thanks, the new Mr & Mrs Jorge

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

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. We will always notify you in advance of in the video if there is a change to the video lineup.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line-up is as follows: Vocals, Guitar, Bass & Drums. Everyone in the band sings and so we can cover female and male lead songs. We offer an acoustic duo option and we are also happy to include additional musicians such as Sax and Trumpet.

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?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. We can also offer a request DJ service for an additional fee depending on timings etc.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about within an hour but like to allow at least 1.5 hours before the performance time. 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?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote. We usually require a minimum of 5m by 3m space to perform

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 are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
