Thank you so much to The Hysterics for a fantastic performance at our annual summer work party. Charlie was absolutely brilliant from start to finish - communication was clear, professional, and friendly throughout. The set was spot on and captured exactly the vibe we were after. Everyone had an amazing time. We couldn’t have asked for more!

I would like to take a minute to thank you so much for your fantastic performance for us last week. I have had nothing but amazing reviews from all our customers, asking when you will be back again and if they can have your cards to contact you direct. You got all the crowd involved and up dancing having a great time. Thank you for your patience with me and keeping me calm on a stressful day and turning it in to one of the best days I've ever had at work. Will see you again very soon.

Went to see The Hysterics yesterday and trust me when I say they were the best band I'd seen in ages and probably the best I've seen in that venue. Well done lads, looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Do you have different line-up options?

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

We will always try to be as flexible as possible to help ensure we can work with you to make your event run smoothly. If timings do change, please let us know.

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

Yes! We offer a playlist DJ service free of charge as part of our package. This includes music played through our PA once we are setup, in-between our sets and for some time afterwards while we pack down.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually need 60-90 minutes to unload and set-up (this depends on distance from parking to the performance area, power availability etc). We are happy to play some music if we are setup and have done a sound check in good time before the event starts.

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

Yes, absolutely! We love having you involved in the process. Please feel free to input what you want to hear us play. From time to time, we may make some changes to benefit the set as we know how songs can flow etc.

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

Yes, our price includes full PA and lighting setup.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We are happy to take a request free of charge for your event. If you wish to have more songs, we will charge this at £100 per song to cater costs for extra practice time. If you do have requests, we will need this ideally 4-6 weeks before your event (for last minute bookings, we can discuss these terms).
