Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up can change according to the size of the event! We can provide entertainment with Uke Ellington as a soloist, a duo with upright bass, a trio with drums and the full band with the addition of keys.

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

We can be flexible with timings, within reason. We're always happy to help and want your event to be a success, so just let us know what we can do!

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

We're more than happy to provide background music, and can also offer a DJ service after the final set for an addition £175.

How much time do you need to set up?

We would usually set up 1.5 hours before the performance time, which would include a soundcheck. Once the PA is set up and ready, we can provide background music to help set the atmosphere!

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes, we regularly work as a roaming band and can move around quite freely!

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

We'd be more than happy to chat about your favourite songs on the set list. We normally settle on a few, which we can then build the rest of the set around so that everything flows in the best possible way!

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

All PA and lighting equipment is included!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Do ask if there's a song you'd like to hear that's not on the set list, as there may be a chance we already know it. If not and you'd like to request that we learn a specific song, there would be a small additional charge.
