FAQs

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

45mins if it’s not a tricky load in, but we always say 1hr to be safe!

What are your standard performance times?

We offer a 4 hour set as standard with a half hour break. This is usually from 8pm until 12am. 

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

We’re easy-going guys, where possible if we can make wedding planning a bit easier for you by coming and going a little on timings – we will! 😊 

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

We take 30mins for our break but we’ll put a playlist on for you during this. It’s no bother if you want to give us your own playlist for this part of the night. 

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

We totally welcome song suggestions however we advise all couples to let us craft the set as much as possible. Years of playing gigs has given us a great insight into what works and keeps a crowd on the dancefloor. 

If there’s a song or two in our set that you don’t want to hear you can let us know too, but cutting lots of songs is never a great idea. Remember there might a song on there that isn’t your favourite, but it could be one that gets the rest of the dance floor bouncing! 

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

Yes of course 😊. Our goal is to tailor each night around making it as special as we can for every couple and pulling off the perfect cover of your first dance is a big part of that! Although we don’t take offence if you’d prefer the original recording played either.

Can you take any requests on the night?

Yeah of course. If we know the song we’ll play it and the odd time if it’s not one we’re 100% on but we feel we can pull it off, we’ll let our old busking skills kick in!

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

We’ve got a several options to cover you through till 1am. We offer a DJ set, Ibiza Sax Set or the band can play for the extra hour. 

Do you offer any other add-on options?

As well as putting on an incredible show for your evening reception, we’ve also got you covered for daytime entertainment too. We offer a 2 hour daytime set as either a solo (John on vocals with acoustic guitar) or duo (adding on our sax player).

We also offer an incredible ceilidh option, ourbass player Dave is also a very talented fiddler player.

Alan our sax player can also offer an Ibiza style set too, playing sax to some dance floor fillers – this goes down a storm! 

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

Yes we provide our own sound system and lighting.

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

Our energy on stage, we give it 110% every night! 

So many couples comment on how well we get on as a band too and that chemistry definitely translates on the dance floor. That good energy mixed with strong crowd interaction, and high-level musicianship keeps crowds hooked song after song.  

Which artists are you most influenced by?

We all love very different music but agree on the principals of what defines great music and musicians. 

That covers everything from Prince to Paolo Nutini, Artic Monkeys to Dua lipa, Stevie Wonder to Muse, Harry Styles to Oasis. We really collectively love music in general!

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?

We can provide up to an hour of live ceilidh. 

What really makes our ceilidh set unique is David our bass player, who also plays the fiddle - giving you a traditional ceilidh instrument within the band, without the added cost of hiring in an extra player! 

For us you really can’t beat the feel of live ceilidh and we'll make sure we walk and talk your guests through each dance too.
