Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
If you have an iPod playlist, you are more than welcome to run it through our PA speakers before and after our performance. We will always have the requisite cables to accommodate this.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the set 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 live performances, carefully selecting tracks that work best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're always happy to liaise with our clients to ensure we find the playlist that will work best for the event.
