Additionally, include a comprehensive input list specifying each instrument or vocal source, your preferred microphone or DI for each, and the corresponding channel assignments.


What information do you require about a venue?

What is the venue’s maximum capacity for both seated and standing arrangements, and does it offer ample space for staging, audience flow, and technical gear? Please outline the load‑in/load‑out process—mention any loading docks, oversized doors, vendor access points, and allowable access times. Additionally, clarify your scheduling flexibility: what are the designated windows for setup, rehearsals, and teardown to help prevent delays? Finally, how do you handle parking and transportation: is on-site parking available, are nearby overflow options provided, or do you offer shuttle services or transportation guidance?


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we provide sound unless sound is available. However we don't provide lighting.


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

Yes we will be happy to provide music during our breaks

Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of the best gigs we performed at was having to perform on a yacht in Waterfront in celebration of the owners italian restaurant anniversary. Because of that, we performed italians tunes with an italian opera singer. The people loved our performance and asked for more opportunities to have us play for them at their events.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love performing at weddings and parties because that is where people dance and enjoy our music instead of sitting and listening like they do whe we perform at places like baxter theatre.


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

My first performance was when I was in high school at Oudtshoorn high where I performed Rock music in celebration of the schools birthday.


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

The artist that inspired to play music was Marcus Miller. The way he grooves on bass brought me to the conclusion that should be my passion. Listening to him play was paved the way to me being accepted to hone my skills at The South African College of Music at University of Cape Town


Can lower prices be negotiated to compensate for Budget?

Yes, however depending on the distance of the venue, as well as the performance time that is required amount remains R1000 per person.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We usually arrive 2 hours before the performance to setup our equipment and soundcheck to ensure positive results from the audience.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we've performed outside many times and often prefer it depending on weather conditions and acoustics.


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

The repertoire is often set however we do offer song selections or ideas for songs they would like us to play. Free of charge.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We've always had positive results even during COVID and loadshedding hours we've managed to find ways to navigate past obstacles to fullfill our promise and provide amazing performances. We also ask for testimonials regarding our prior performances and provide honest feedback on our delivery.


Does the band require payment via cash or card?

We only accept payment via card because we require a 20% deposit from the pay for transportation to the gig (Unless it is a ticket gig).


Is it an immediate payment when booking the band?

When booking the band we secure the deal with the 20% deposit that can be paid within a week after booking. The final payment can be transfered within 3 days from the performance day with a notification via email, whatsapp, or sms, that the money has been transfered.


How much venue space is required for a band to perform?

Depending on your selection. If a full band has been selected to perform in a small venue it will be difficult to navigate where to place instruments and sound. If a picture of the venue is provided via email or whatsapp we can determine the best choice for a band with your approval.


Do you take calls?

Yes, we do take calls however we prefer email because during the week we're often occupied with Gigs and work. However, an arrangment for a call is open for option mostly on weekends.


If it rains or storms on the day of the gig and we postpone will you still be able to perform for us?

Yes, but although the date has moved, the payment should still reflect from the original date but we guarantee our promise to perform at on another date, you chose, will happen without having to pay again.


Can we suggest additional instrumentalists?

Yes, you are free to request additional instrumentalists but it will add an extra R1200.
