We can provide a Spotify service. This is a really popular request, and we offer it for free before and between our sets.

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

Our set list is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to discuss and make sure we find what works best for you and your event.

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

Our PA and mixing desk are included in our quote.
