Christmas songs and carols:
A spaceman came travelling
Angels from the realms of glory
Away in a manger
Deck the Halls
Ding dong, merrily on high
Gaudete
God rest ye, merry gentlemen
Good King Wenceslas
Hark! The herald angels sing
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
I saw three ships come sailing in
In dulce jubilo
In the bleak midwinter
It came upon the midnight clear
Jingle bells
Joy to the world
Let it snow
Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
Mary’s boy child
Mary, mary
O come, all ye faithful
O come, o come Emmanuel
O holy night
O little town of Bethlehem
O Tannenbaum (Oh Christmas Tree)
Once in royal David’s city
See amid the winter’s snow
Silent night
Silver bells
Sussex Carol
The angel Gabriel
The carol singers
The Coventry carol
The first Noel
The holly and the ivy
The holy city
The infant king
The little road to Bethlehem
We three kings of Orient are
What child is this?
When a child is born
White Christmas
While shepherds watched their flocks

Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our clients love that we offer something totally unique for the guests - the blend of our classically trained voices with the subtle accompaniment of our guitars is a wonderful addition to many different kinds of events. Clients also appreciate our friendly professionalism and flexibility in terms of being able to tailor our repertoire to suit their event.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We have performed internationally at a wide range of places, from grand venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and Birmingham Symphony Hall to theatres on luxury cruise liners like Cunard, Dorchester Collection Hotels through to more intimate venues such as churches, restaurants and even clients' gardens, conservatories and living rooms!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
We both have an eclectic music taste! - artistic influences range from classical singers such as Franco Corelli, Placido Domingo, Maria Callas and Angela Gheorghiu to more modern artists like John Denver, Kate Bush, Billy Joel, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Sting... to name but a few!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
As artists we've performed in many high profile venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Queen Elizabeth and Cadogan Halls in London, Birmingham Symphony Hall as well as theatres worldwide in opera and operettas and in concert with the BBC Singers.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our standard line up is 2 x vocals and 2 x guitars, but you can hire just Darren, or just Caroline if preferred!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We are always open to being flexible and will do our best to accommodate your change in plans, so long as we are free and able to do so
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We are happy to provide iPod/iPad music between sets if desired
How much time do you need to set up?
Without PA equipment we need minimal set up time of 10-15 minutes.
With PA we would need 20-30 minutes to set up and sound check.
Can you roam around while you perform?
Yes - we can either perform acoustically or with microphones attached to our instruments so we can move around.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Absolutely! Our set lists have been tailored from many performances and learning what songs work together best for different events. However, we're very happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for you.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes, PA is included; we don't currently provide lighting
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. However we're very happy to learn requests for a specific event; there would be a charge of £30 extra to allow for learning and practice if it's something that isn't already in our repertoire.
