Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
We are all natural and skilled "live" musicians who have played 100's of gigs. People love to dance to the band. We never play to a "backing track" or "click track" - what you see is what you get and if the dance floor is full we know to extend the song to keep people happy.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?
Yes the singer on each occasion will be Vic Cracknell.
Do you have different line-up options?
Our line-up is normally Vocals/keyboards, Saxophone, Double Bass and Drums (4 piece). Depending on the event, function or space restrictions we would consider being 3 piece or a 2 piece (vocals/piano with saxophone).
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We are flexible and understand if that happens. Please do keep us informed if that happens.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
We can provide playlist music when we are not playing (or we can put your phone through our PA system if you have a favourite song list). There is no extra charge for this.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
We pick our own set list as it is crafted from countless performances. Do let us know if you have any particular favourite songs and we will endeavour to include them.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If a song isn't included in our set it is possible we could still play it. There is no extra charge for this.
