Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
No it's a duo every time - more accurately, it's THIS duo, so you don;t have to worry about some bloke who wasn't in the video turning up :)
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No Worries!
We're totally flexible with our sets and can slice them any way you please to work around food, fireworks or drinks etc. Just give us plenty of notice.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes we can cover the gaps between sets as long as we don't have to move location at the same time. If you need music constantly though out the day, even when we're setting up or rearing down to move, you'll also need a professional DJ.
How much time do you need to set up?
If we're using looper pedals and vocal effects pedals, we like to have an hour just in case of any difficult get-ins or power issues.
If it's purely acoustic music with just the guitars, vocals and a portable speaker, we can normally be ready to go in around 20 mins.
Can you roam around while you perform?
Not really - we often use a battery powered speaker which allows us to play in locations where running power would be impossible.... but I'd probabky find it hard to carry it around at the same time as trying to play the guitar!
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?
Yes
Can you learn song requests before the event?
We'll learn up to 4 songs of your choosing for a wedding ceremony, and we can perform your first dance live in addition to this if you'd like.
Unfortunately learning a full gig's worth of material would mean we could only do about 50 gigs a year :/
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Most often people will comment on our harmonies, musicianship and the often unusual arrangements of the songs in our show.
When working with loop pedals, our clients enjoy trying to work out where all the sounds are coming from!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Hundreds upon hundreds!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Ben Folds, KT Tunstall, PUSA, The Indigo Girls, Dave Matthews Band, The Dixie Chicks, and of course - Vulfpeck!!!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
We did the six nations rugby final at Twickenham Stadium a few years back... oh and we were once asked to play at an airport terminal as the client's girlfriend got off the plane. We assumed it was a proposal but it turned out to be an elaborate apology... anyway we turned that one down in the end. Imagine trying to get paid if it wend badly...!
