Sam (guitar) is the lead contact for couples emailing, and Scott (drums) is on the socials. Couples usually email us well in advance to check in and request first dance/father daughter songs. If we don't get any contact then around a month or two before the event we will get in contact to find out these and any other specific instructions eg. Specific parking, load in times or surprises for the guests.

We give our phone numbers to the couple just incase something happens and we need to be contacted. Usually the couple email us the night before just to double check everything is still good

Come see us! We play regularly in Glasgow and Edinburgh, fire us a message and we will let you know where and when. We've played hundreds of different venues to hundreds of crowds

Once the couple tell us their first dance we all start listening to it and learning it on our own time, then around 2 weeks before the wedding we get together in a practice studio and run it multiple times until we're happy with it, then we record it with a phone just as a reminder as it's easier to remember something if it's actually you you're listening to playing it.

The only thing that can be tricky for first dance requests is if the track has lots of important parts played on instruments that we don't have, such as brass sections or large choirs. Great first dances are ones that the couple love, we are happiest making them happy

We will learn any two songs for the event, any others will have to be already in our set online. If it’s very obvious that a song will need to be dramatically changed to be performed by the 4 of us, we will inform the couple as soon as possible to give them time to decide whether they would still like us to perform it or have the original track played through our P.A system.

We are happy with the couples changing up the day however they want. We have had shorter/longer sets, different start times, late finish times, guests coming up to play songs, surprise Michael Jackson impersonators and the list goes on. No two weddings are alike and we mould ourself to whatever works best for the couple.

We usually chat with either the wedding coordinator or the bride and groom to ask their preference. We usually announce the cake cutting, give them a countdown and then move onto the first dance. Sometimes the couple ask us to get people up immediately as they are nervous/shy and sometimes they have choreographed a dance to go along with the song. We don't mind either way and we check beforehand with the couple. If they say they don't mind we will play about 1/3 to 1/2 of the song then invite the wedding party on the stage.

We require access to the room an hour in advance of our start time. We need to know if parking is far away, if there is a noise limiter or any other venue specific sound limitations such as in house PA or sound tech. Small stages tend not to be an issue for us, we just squeeze up or somebody has to stand off stage. We only require 1 plug socket within 5m of the stage area, so we haven't ever run into power issues.

Any additional venue specific differences to usual are usually passed through the couple from the venue. Venues are usually good at understanding their differences and letting couples know in advance.

We have a large selection of dep musicians to cover any illness on the day, however usually we just pull through on the day. We haven't ever had to cancel due to illness.

As soon as we arrive at the wedding we check in with the wedding coordinator or couple to see how the day has been and if they are ready for us to load in. Then we check the best load in point somewhere close to where we can stop our cars. We will then load our gear onto the stage area and begin setup. Our setup usually takes about 30 minutes and then we put our empty cases back in the cars. Then we soundcheck which usually takes another 30 minutes. Every room is different and requires different sound, and it's best to properly dial it in before starting. We will make a bit of noise for the last 30 minutes before starting doing a thorough soundcheck.

We arrive at 630, even though we usually only get access from 7pm and we only state we need an hour to setup. This means a couple of things can go wrong, and we can sort them and still start on time at 8pm. We will often check parking/location before hand to make sure we have enough time.

Yes we have played many with a noise limiter, and it is a pain however we can usually work with it. Our drummer taps the drums and we turn everything right down.

We wear all smart/casual black and make sure to look professional without standing out too much.

Our first couple of songs are usually decided in advance and we base our song selections off what the crowd are enjoying and what demographic are mainly on the dancefloor. We also ask people if they have any requests to get an idea of the type of genres the guests enjoy. If a song goes down well, we keep going on a similar vein. Sometimes however we get given setlists by couples with “love” and “not so love” lists to follow. We can mould ourselves to most situations and have a large list of songs to call upon

We base the pace of songs entirely off the crowd. Quite often there is a natural lull of dancing energy around 40-60 minutes into a set and people want either a slow dance, sing along or to watch the band more like a gig. The buffet break is a good split in the energy and people are usually up for dancing/partying more after a small break and a bite to eat.

We welcome all requests with open arms! We love people coming up and requesting songs, as long as they don't expect the lead singer to reply while actively singing!
If we don't know the suggestion we will try and play something from the same band or similar style.

We do a little or a lot of audience interaction, depending on the style of the night. Matt (lead singer) chats to the crowd with ease and makes them feel comfortable. We regularly announce things like buffet, last orders or somebody has parked their car where they shouldn't. We will announce anything that either the couple of the venue ask of us.

While it usually takes us an hour to setup and soundcheck, we have done it in 30 minutes before. No promises but we will try our best to get the evening running on time again. We are fully prepared for technical issues on our end, and even one time the power went out for the whole venue and all we had was a drum kit and the audience choir but we kept everybody on the dancefloor and singing along. Changes to schedule are fine on the night, we are very adaptable.

Every wedding crowd is different and they all bring a different energy. Usually at 8:30pm we keep the set easy going to let guests recover after dinner so they become ready to party later on. Around 10:30pm we kick off the classic rock bangers and usually everybody is comfortable and ready to dance /party. At 11:30 we’re deep into pop punk and sing along anthems and by this point the majority of the room is up dancing and in a very good mood.

We have a small number of excellent set finishers to pick from depending on the crowds personal tastes, then we get the bride and groom in the middle of a circle and play the live version of loch Lomond.

Usually in the first set before people are full of buffet but when they've had enough time to warm up to the dance floor we decide to call the ceilidh. Usually 2-3 songs depending on how sweaty people get. Matt (lead singer) calls the ceilidh and if necessary two of us will demonstrate the dance moves

We will finish our last song on a rock and roll ending to signify the end of the rock, then hit play on the dance classics and Matt (lead singer) will announce the DJ set starting and get everybody dancing.

Nothing says more than smiling (or tearful) faces all round at the end. People on the dancefloor all night, requests from the guests, people shaking your hand, offering to buy you drinks or help with the load out.

Couples often comment on how good the song selection was. We also get complimented on how they didn’t feel like they attended a standard wedding, more so a concert.

One that stands is when we got to stay at overnight at a wedding and party with the couple and their guests, we made some friends that night. We’ve had so many good experiences at weddings that it’s hard to pick favourites.
