Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A performance area of about 2 x 2 meters for the duo and one standard power socket close to it. Easy loading access to the stage area helps.


What information do you require about a venue?

The venue address with directions to the loading entrance, the time we can start setting up, and any sound limit or noise restriction at the venue.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes. We bring our own PA system, sized for audiences of up to about 50 guests. We do not bring a lighting rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A wedding where we hurried to play for the family because a relative was very ill. We moved quickly so that they could hear the music together. It was a beautiful and deeply emotional event, and we felt lucky to be part of it.


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

We have played together as a guitar and sax duo for ten years. That time shows in how we listen to each other and in how easily we turn a familiar pop or rock song into a jazz arrangement.


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

Stan Getz and Wes Montgomery. Getz taught us how a saxophone can sing a melody softly, and Montgomery how a guitar can sound warm and full. That relaxed, melodic approach is what we bring to pop and rock songs.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We arrive one hour before the performance to set up. We can play in blocks or straight through, whichever suits the flow of your event.


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

We can learn specific songs on request. We ask to receive the request about a month before the event, and we confirm whether we can prepare it well in that time.
