Lewis and George played our wedding as a two man band and were absolutely brilliant. They kept everybody singing and dancing all evening which is exactly what we had hoped for. We've had so many compliments on the music. Thanks guys - we can't thank you enough.

“A MASSIVE thank you to these guys for their incredible performance at our wedding they were amazing, and we had so many comments from our guests about how great they sounded. So so talented and they made the whole evening perfect, exactly what we had in mind for our wedding so we’re really over the moon we found them. Lewis was really helpful and communicated brilliantly to find out exactly what we wanted, and was so accommodating right the way through. The whole evening was so relaxed and fun, and we and our guests were up dancing and enjoying the music until the very end. And an extra thank you to the guys for accommodating my uncle’s impromptu rendition of Highway to Hell - that will be a memory we will cherish!”

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

We've been luck enough to play some very high profile events for clients like Go*gle and Meta, as well as some smaller festival slots, but we're most at home providing the vibes for down to earth weddings and parties. We love nothing more than being a part of someones big day, and seeing people enjoy the music is what its all about.

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

Seamless Show Guarantee: We take pride in consistency. You can expect the lineup you see advertised to perform on the night. In the rare case of an absence, we have top-tier, well rehearsed backup musicians ready to step in, maintaining the high quality you expect from a professional band.

Do you have different line-up options?

We offer two line ups! Our main line up is the trio, consisting of Guitar, Bass, Percussion, and Vocals, and is perfect for anything from background music through to main entertainment and dancing. Our second line up is the duo, consisting of two guitars and vocals, perfect for those events where a bit of background ambience is required.

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

Smooth sailing guaranteed! We're flexible and can adjust to slight timing shifts as your event unfolds. Just let us know, and we'll make it happen.

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

This is a popular add-on, and we're happy to offer our unmanned dj service free of charge before our first set and in the breaks between our sets. We can continue the unmanned DJ service for an hour after our final set for a small additional fee of £125, or we can offer a manned service (songs can be chosen and changed on the night) for £175.

How much time do you need to set up?

We typically arrive 1-1.5 hours before your event to set up our equipment. To help build the atmosphere, we can provide a free playlist service to get your guests in the mood for the live show.

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

We've honed our setlist through years of experience, picking songs guaranteed to get your guests moving. But we're always happy to tailor the playlist to your preferences to create the perfect atmosphere 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 3x2m space to perform in.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Our extensive repertoire covers a wide range of music, and one song request is included in all our pricing options (perfect for a first dance or aisle song). We're happy to learn extra songs too, all extra songs after the one included in our base fee will cost an extra £200 per song to cover rehearsal time.
