Hi Guys, [ the 2 J`s ] A big thank you to you both for stepping in at the last minute to save the day.[ other act cancelled with covid]. The choice of music was a great mix for everyone and the banter and rapport with the crowd was good fun. Had everyone singing along and it made it an enjoyable night. Give these guys a call , they would be good for parties and are sensibly priced for any occasion. Keep up the good work lads [ but change your shirts]. ;) All the best for the future from all at Catchgate Community fc.

We had the 2Js play our pub. They are very professional, reading the room and getting our crowd behind them. It was a great night, and we'll definitely have them back."

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The most common comment we get is that people love that we are having fun and enjoying our time on stage, as much as they do listening and watching us and they feel part of the show.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Over the last fifty years or so, we have played in almost all of the clubs in the North East.....

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Not so much artists but by the music of the late sixties and beyond.

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

The most thrilling gig was when we played alongside one of my teenage idols, and we shared the stage with Pete Macdonald of the band "Goldie"

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up is guitar and bass guitar, we also have other guitars too ;)

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

We are very flexible, we are there to make sure that from our side everything works smoothly. If you need to change timings etc., please give us at least a week's notice.

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

Yes, we regularly offer this option at no extra cost.

How much time do you need to set up?

Depending on the size of the venue (which dictates what sound system we use) we normally require approximately 60 - 90 minutes at set up and sound check.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We try not to roam as we can sometimes lose our way back to the stage. Roaming is not something we are good at without satnav......... :D

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

Absolutely we have something like 259 songs in our repertoire, so if you want us to play anything in particular, please let us know.

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

We are totally self contained, The size of the stage and/or venue dictates which sound and light system we use.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
