Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Our standard Brass Band line-up consists of 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, sousaphone and 2 percussionists.

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

We will always try to accommodate timing changes, although within reason. 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?

N/A

How much time do you need to set up?

Very little. As an acoustic roaming brass band, we don't require a PA system or technical setup. We simply arrive in good time before the performance and coordinate directly with you or your event team. One of the benefits of our line-up is that we can be ready to perform quickly, making surprise appearances easy to arrange.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Absolutely. Roaming performance is one of our specialities. Performing acoustically allows us to move freely amongst guests, lead processions, and create an interactive experience throughout your venue or event space. We're used to performing in all sorts of weird and wonderful locations, so as long as it's safe, we'll always do our best to accommodate.

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.

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

N/A

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes. We're always happy to discuss special requests, whether it's a club anthem, company song, sporting anthem or a piece with personal significance. Where a bespoke arrangement or new chart is required, this can usually be arranged for an additional fee to cover scoring, preparation and rehearsal time.
