We provide a stress free, unforgettable day for all our clients.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
As standard we provide music via our Macbook, once we've set-up, in between live music sets and whilst packing down.

We specify a 1 hour set-up time.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
If there are songs on our set-list that you definitely want to hear and songs that you'd rather not hear we'd very much like to know. Please be aware that we do like to retain a certain degree of control as we pride ourselves on playing a tried and tested set-list to keep your event full of energy.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes, we provide full PA and lighting as standard.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
