FAQs

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

Our set up and sound check time is 45minutes to an hour to ensure we are fully prepared and happy with our sound before getting started for the evening. 

What are your standard performance times?

Our standard performance times are normally 8pm-12am with a short break inbetween. 

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

Of course. We are aware timings can change or can be different from our standard timings so we are more than flexible to suit yourself and the venue. 

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

We take a 30 minute break at the time of your evening buffet to allow everyone to refresh have some good food and get ready to kick start the night again. During this time we can play our own background music or can arrange with yourself a set list of your choice to be played through this time. 

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

We advise you to check out our set list and choose some of your absolute favourites that you would love to hear on the night and equally do the same with songs you would rather we didn’t play. In terms of the rest of our set we are very good at reading the room and knowing the best songs to keep your dance floor full so please don’t worry about this or put any added pressure on yourselves. 

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

Absolutely!! Your first dance is really important to both you and us and we will ensure to learn it and perfect it so it goes smoothly. We can also offer a second dance on top of this whether it be for a father and daughter or another dance of your choice. 

Can you take any requests on the night?

Yes, we always openly say that if anyone has any requests we will make sure to try our best to play it, if it’s one we are not as familiar with we may just get the guests to sing it out and keep us right ;) 

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

1am license is always a bonus to keep the party going longer so we can offer a DJ set playing all your favourite dance floor bangers or an extension to our live set. 

Do you offer any other add-on options?

We offer the option to end the night with either a DJ set or an extended live set for an additional fee. We also include a ceilidh set and a fun game of Mr & Mrs at no extra cost! So get your knowledge at the ready and find out who knows who best — the winner even gets a free drink on the band :)

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

Yes our equipment is included within the quote you are given. 

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

Our clients always mention how much they love that we are a married couple doing what we enjoy together. We have a natural chemistry that shines through in our performance. We are very professional (any rows are left for the end of the night LOL), they also compliment how different our voices are but how well they blend together. We are not shy of the dance floor so you may see us on there for a sing and dance with the crowd. 

Which artist's are you most influenced by?

Ohh that’s a tough question as our music taste is so varied but we never get bored of a bit of ABBA, Queen, Shania and Oasis basically anything that has our dance floor filled influences us. 

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?

Definitely! 3 dances normally take around 15-20 minutes, we have custom made tracks that give you the full sound of what your ceilidh needs. We talk you through each dance and when we start we continue to guide you through it until you’ve nailed it! ‘Swing yer partner’
