FAQs

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

We can be fully set up in 1 hour from when we get access to the room.

What are your standard performance times?

We play 8pm-12am (with a 30 minute break).

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

Yes we’ll always try our best to accommodate your timings if they’re different from the standard 8pm-12am set.

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

We take a 30 minute break and this is usually during your evening buffet, if you’re having one. We’ll definitely play background music for you during this time.

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

We don’t offer custom set lists as such no, but before the big day we’ll send you our most recent up to date set list, and you’re more than welcome to request certain songs that you definitely want (or don’t want) to be played on the night. 

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

Yes of course! Just make sure you give us enough notice to learn and rehearse it, so we can make sure it’s perfect for you!

Can you take any requests on the night?

We always welcome requests! We can’t guarantee that we’ll know every request, but if we don’t we always make a point of playing the original song during our break. 

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

Yes we offer a disco set from 12-1am. It’s a great opportunity you and your guests to make requests for the set list during that hour. 

Do you offer any other add-on options?

Yes, we can also perform at your Ceremony and/or Drinks Reception. You have the option of booking Chelsea singing solo, or both Chelsea & Connor as an acoustic duo – so you can have all your entertainment for the day covered with us!

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

Yes we bring everything that we need, and it’s all included in your quote.

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

We bring a great energy because we love what we do, and that comes across in our performances! We have fun on stage and like to make everyone feel involved. Don’t be scared to talk to the band too, we love having a laugh with you all!

Which artists are you most influenced by?

Between the four of us we have such a varied taste in music, but I’d say we all love the likes of Prince, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Whitney Houston, Lady Gaga.

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! We usually do 3 dances, Gay Gordon’s, Canadian Barn Dance and Strip the Willow. This would usually take between 20-30 mins depending on the number of guests taking part, how well people know the steps etc. We use tracks with traditional instruments for the ceilidh section and we’ll call all the steps throughout the set for you too.
