Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

One of the most regular pieces of feedback we get is about the warm family atmosphere we create- and this makes us really proud! We strive to create an upbeat party atmosphere whilst injecting our signature amount of heart into every beat.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

As we've been performing across the country for over a decade, we've played hundred of venues, from tepees to castles and everything in between. We've even played out in the Gambia, an experience we'll never forget.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

As three dedicated music lovers we take our inspiration from all the greats, from Buddy Holly right through to modern classics like Mumford and Sons, not missing out all the soul and pop in between!

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-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable. As a dedicated band our reputation means alot so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level. We'll be sure to let you know in advance if this should happen.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up consists of three dedicated members- Ste our lead singer and guitarist, Frank on bass or second guitar and Alun on drums.

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. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £180.

How much time do you need to set up?

We strive to arrive at least 1-1.5 hours ahead of our start time to get set up. However we'll be as flexible as we can to fit around your day!

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, as well as including all your special requests.

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

All of the equipment we need to perform is included in our quote. We just need a safe power supply and enough space to set up in.

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. We just need enough time to do so ahead of the day.
