Uncle Arthur and The Alley Cat know exactly how to bring people together and ensure everyone has the best time from start to finish. They absolutely made my birthday party the best it could be and everyone loved them. The vocals and guitar will be everything you could wish for. I would recommend these guys to anyone and I will definitely be booking them for future events. Could not fault them in any way! Thanks so much, you were amazing!

Uncle Arthur & The Alley Cat are the best up and coming duo on the market. They are ones to look out for! From a range of original songs to mash ups of ska, reggae and old bangers. They bring alternative and diverse song choices that will guarantee you all to be on the dance floor and singing your hearts out! Don’t miss the chance to have a blast. Connor & Carson are both such lovely people, they will instantly put you at ease from the point of booking to the performance itself! The best night to bring all different types of people together
 Would highly recommend!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We play as a duo, however our sound & energy gives off full band feels and so we feel our act can stand well where a typical ‘band slot’ is advertised.

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

We are usually pretty open with times, however if we have another show on the same day we will make you aware of this when timings are set.

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

Yes we can. We can play tailored playlists by yourselves or we can sort the music in between/before we play.

How much time do you need to set up?

We need access to the space at least 2 hours before. Please discuss with us if the room is in use before our set, so we know if any noise disturbance is an issue.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We use cables however we have a pretty wide space to roam and naturally we tend to make our way in to the crowd most shows.

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

We do take requests but this can be discussed ahead of booking.

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

PA system is included. We do not provide our PA to be used for the rest of the evening and will take care of our own sound requirements. We are also open to other peoples sound systems with prior agreement.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

This can be discussed prior to booking, if we can accommodate it we will.
