Introducing an ensemble of musical enchantment—distinguished by its all-acoustic, all-vocal, and all-encompassing performances—that transcends the ordinary. This wandering troupe ventures beyond the confines of the usual repertoire, boasting a musical spectrum that spans from the vivacity of Green Day to the whimsy of Sebastian The Crab (from The Little Mermaid), and from the soulful Ed Sheeran to the timeless melodies of Elton John. Enriching the classic party songbook, their acoustic renditions stand as a pinnacle choice for wedding jubilations, convivial drinks receptions, and corporate soirées. The artists themselves embrace the purely acoustic essence, engaging in seamless interaction with you and your esteemed guests. Their harmonious four-part vocal arrangements and acoustic cadences weave a tapestry of delight, whether mingling indoors or amidst the embrace of outdoor settings. Their unparalleled portability grants them the ability to grace every corner of your chosen venue, ensuring they move and wander with the ebb and flow of your event. From the initial cocktail hour to the twilight dinner and the fervor of the afterparty, their musical narrative becomes an integral part of your celebration's evolution. The performers are completely acoustic and will mix and mingle with you and your guests, delighting them with their 4 part harmonies and acoustic rhythms. Working brilliantly at both inside and outside venues, there is nowhere where they can’t perform. The band is so portable it can be with you throughout in all of your venue spaces, meaning that they will move and wander as your event evolves from drinks reception, to evening dinner, to afterparty.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our infectious roaming performance that involves all your guests. Getting in amongst your guests and entertaining them from start to finish. We are less stuffy and old fashioned than a typical band, making our performances fresh and exciting for all.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Botley Hill Barn, Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace, Silchester Farm, Chiswick House, The Bay Tree Hotel amongst many others.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Our influences are varied and wide but we pride ourselves on our skater rock, Beatles and Disney repertoire choices. We don't do the normal stuff, we keep it fresh and interesting.

Do you have different line-up options?

We believe that our 4 piece band is the best it gets, so we only give you the best option. The 4 piece has 4 vocals, 2 guitars, double bass, and percussion.

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

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

We can provide a small PA system for background music between our sets if needed. This is a popular request and we can provide this at no charge for the duration that we are on-site for.

How much time do you need to set up?

15 minutes

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yes. This is exactly what the band is designed to do and we roam with you and your guests for the best possible atmosphere.

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

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

We come fully self-contained for roaming gigs. Where your event is larger (100 people or larger) we recommend using a production company to supply a PA for our use. We can spec this to you if you require.

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. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £40 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.

“If you’re searching for a wedding band, look no further! We chose to have the band play live at both our wedding ceremony and drinks reception, and we’re so glad we did. They really made our wedding day extra special.”
