About / Biography

We are a covers band but with a difference. We do alternatives arrangements and versions of well known songs - so covers with a twist. We are a lively, upbeat, female fronted band that always gets the audience on their feet.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need space to accommodate a drummer, a PA and four other musicians - we need access to a couple of sockets.


What information do you require about a venue?

A post code so we can get there!


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We have our own PA and are completely self contained. We have some lighting too.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes we can put in a playlist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We often play at a fabulous pub called the Three Tuns in Chepstow - the crowd is really appreciative and the gig is always banging.


What's your favourite type of event?

Parties.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We have been gigging for 5 years.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

To many to name - we love high energy songs and can provide our setlist.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We need 45 mins to set up and set down. We generally do hour long sets, sometimes a bit more.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes but of course we need a flat surface and access to power.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We determine our own setlist - we are well rehearsed and don’t do standard covers generally. We would be able to learn a specific song or two.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

High energy and covers with a difference - some challenging songs.


Can you reinvent old favourites

Absolutely you can!
