FAQs

How much time do you need for set up & sound check?

We're pretty slick at setting up these days so we just need 45 - 60 minutes and we're good to go! 

What are your standard performance times?

Our standard times are 8pm - Midnight.

I'm not sure what my timings are going to be yet, is there any flexibility on the standard timings?

Of course!  We will always work with you to ensure that our timings suit your schedule.  We can start early and finish early if preferred for example, 7-11pm.  The best thing to do is discuss what you need with us and we can work it out.

How long do you take for your break? Are you able to play background music during this time?

Standard breaktime is 30 minutes. We normally do this when the evening buffet is served. We will play background music as a default unless you want to supply your own playlist, in which case, we can plug your phone or device into our PA system.   

Can I pick the songs that you'll play on the night?

We are always happy to let you pick songs from our massive repertoire and we can learn a few of your favourite songs if we don't know them, given enough notice. 

Through our experience of playing weddings up and down the country, we know how to keep a dancefloor bouncing, so in all honesty you can trust us to know what works on any given night. Every night can be different so we tend to read the room and play what is getting people up to dance as we look to finish on the highest possible note. 

Will you learn our first dance if it's a song that you don't already know?

It would be our absolute pleasure to learn your first dance if we dont already know it, it's what we do! Even if its a unique or special version of the original, we can rework it to whatever you need.  We recognise that first dances are a highlight of the night so its one of top priorities to get this right for you.

If you have a Daddy/Daughter or Mother/Son song as a second dance we can also do this. 

Can you take any requests on the night?

We love taking requests! If its going to make you or your guests happy or get people on the dancefloor, then its our duty to play those songs, so please encourage your guests to ask us. 

My venue has a 1am license, do you offer an extension to keep the night going until then?

Yes, the band can play for an additional hour OR we can offer a disco set where you can get the GBX tunes going or standard dance/pop tunes to finish off the night in style. 

You can book in any of these as an optional extra when you’re processing your evening entertainment booking or these can also be added closer to the time. 

Do you offer any other add-on options?

We do offer an acoustic set for a couple of hours which is be perfect for an afternoon drinks reception or some background music to an outside event.  

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

Yes, we bring PA and lights and everything that we will need on the night. We just need to plug in and we are good to go!

What do you think your clients love most about your performances?

Clients absolutely love that the band can pull off so many different types/genres of music so brilliantly and with such energy.  We will often start of the night playing the classics but we'll move to playing rock, pop, indie and by the end of the night we've shifted to full-on dance mode to get the dancefloor packed right before we bring it back down to end the night perfectly on Loch Lomond (or whatever preferred final song you want). 

But what stands out is the extremely high standard of the band sound, performance and vocals. Guests will NOT be disappointed.

The band also love having some banter with the audience as we see it as our job to have fun and get everyone involved so that its an unforgettable experience for all. 

Which artists are you most influenced by?

Well not everyone in the band has the same taste but we do love The Killers, Coldplay, The Foo Fighters, Fleetwood Mac, Calvin Harris and generally any dancefloor filler songs. 

Can you provide a ceilidh set? If so, could you give us more info about this - how long does it last, what instruments do you play, can you call the dances for our guests?

YES!  We can provide anything from 1 or 2 Ceilidh songs up to 45 mins where needed. The band will always call the dances to make sure everyone knows what they are doing so that they can just have fun!  

The Ceilidh songs that we provide are typically through a backing track to cover the instruments we don't have (fiddle, accordion etc.) backed with live drums and guitar.  

Typical Ceilidh songs will include Gay Gordons, Dashing White Sergeant, Canadian Barn Dance, St Bernard's Waltz and Strip the Willow.
