Disco & Funk band

London

Public liability insurance of £5 million

we are a wimbledon (london) based band of pro musicians creating a dynamic live funk, soul and blues show, from retro 60s to present day and a party for all occasions! formed after long conversations about what we didn't like about function bands.. they weren't 'fun..' they didn't play long enough and they only played songs they wanted to... we are passionate about live music! We've spent thousands of hours and many years playing, honing our talents and learning our craft over 100s of gigs, entertaining and bringing the party! we will work closely with you and to your budget to make sure its an event everyone will remember! we are all pro musicians, our line up has performed in the west end, own music schools, recording studios and do session work.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

All of our gigs feature our singer, guitarist, keyboardist and drummer. We make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We have pre-auditioned 'dep' musicians available in case of emergency. As a professional band our reputation means everything so you can be confident that all of our players are of a very high level.

Do you have different line-up options?

We come in 2 flavours: - full 5 piece (Vocals, Lead Guitar, Keyboards, Bass, Drums) or 'lite' 3/4 piece: - Vocals, Guitar(s) and/or keys, Percussion

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

We are more than happy to accommodate reasonable timing changes. We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. Just let us know as soon as you know!

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. You can plug your playlist in (let us know what phone or laptop you have). If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100

How much time do you need to set up?

We only use professional right sized equipment so usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time, with a 15 minute sound check. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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. There might be some songs you don't want and some you really do! Feel free to suggest

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

Our PA and lighting system is included in your quote. We usually require a minimum of 8 meters by 3 metres space to perform

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. We will add a couple of suggestions at no extra cost!
