Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We require a safe, level performance area suitable for an 8-piece band, along with access to standard power outlets (ideally separate 13A sockets where possible). We bring full backline and instruments, and can provide PA and lighting if required, or work with in-house production.

For sound, we require basic sound check access prior to performance. A minimum setup time of approximately 90 minutes is ideal depending on access and load-in.

If the venue has a stage, that is preferred but not essential. We are flexible and experienced working in a wide range of event spaces.


What information do you require about a venue?

To ensure a smooth and professional performance, we typically require the following information about a venue:

* Full venue address and parking/load-in access details
* Performance space size and whether there is a stage
* Availability of power (number and location of sockets)
* Sound and lighting setup (in-house production or if we need to provide full PA/lighting)
* Access times for load-in, soundcheck and breakdown
* Any venue sound limiters or curfews
* Contact details for the venue manager or technical contact

This helps us plan efficiently and deliver the best possible live experience on the day.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes — we can provide full professional sound and lighting equipment if required.

We are fully self-contained and able to supply a high-quality PA system and stage lighting suitable for a full 8-piece live band. Alternatively, we are also happy to work with a venue’s in-house production and integrate seamlessly with existing systems.

Either option is fine for us — we’ll adapt to ensure the best possible sound and visual experience for your event.


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

Yes — we can provide a professional DJ/playlist service before and between our live sets.

We supply curated, high-quality background and dance music tailored to your event, ensuring a seamless atmosphere from guest arrival through to the end of the night. This can include upbeat party tracks, classics and crowd favourites to keep energy levels high on the dancefloor.

All music is professionally managed to ensure smooth transitions between our live performances, creating a continuous party experience with no awkward breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

We’ve been fortunate to perform at a range of private and corporate events, including a recent evening for Mercedes. It was a great night with a really engaged audience, and we provided a mix of live party music that built into a full dancefloor set. We always aim to read the room and deliver a fun, professional performance that suits the event.


What's your favourite type of event?

Our favourite events are busy, lively celebrations where people are ready to have a great time — especially weddings and private parties where the dancefloor is full and everyone gets involved.

We love reading the room, building the energy through the night, and seeing guests of all ages coming together for a proper party atmosphere. Those are the gigs where we can really do what we do best.


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

We started gigging in 2018, initially performing at smaller local events, weddings and private functions. Over time, we developed into a full 8-piece showband, building a strong reputation for high-energy live performances and professional delivery.

Since then, we’ve performed at a wide range of events including weddings, corporate functions and private parties, steadily growing through word-of-mouth, repeat bookings and referrals. Our focus has always been on creating a fun, reliable and high-quality live experience for every audience.


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

We’re influenced by a wide mix of artists across soul, pop, funk and dance — from Motown legends through to modern party and live performance acts.

We also keep our set fresh and up to date by following current trends and incorporating new music where it fits the band, including recent crowd favourites like Raye’s Where Is My Husband?

At the heart of it, we focus on music that connects with audiences and gets people singing, dancing and involved in the moment.


Do you take requests on the night?

Yes — we’re happy to take a small number of requests on the night, provided the band already knows the song and it suits the crowd. We always read the room to keep the energy high and the dancefloor full.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Our typical setup time is around 90 minutes, depending on venue access and load-in conditions, followed by a soundcheck to ensure everything is balanced and ready for the performance.

Performance-wise, we usually offer 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets, depending on the event and schedule. We are flexible and can adapt timings to suit the flow of your evening, working closely with the client or venue to create the best possible atmosphere.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes — we’re happy to perform outdoors, provided there is suitable cover for both the band and equipment.

We would require a sheltered or covered performance area to protect against weather conditions, along with access to a safe and stable power supply. As long as these basics are in place, we’re very comfortable performing outside and can adapt our setup accordingly.


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

We work from a tried-and-tested repertoire designed to keep dancefloors full, but we absolutely tailor each event to the client.

Both of our packages include a level of customisation, and we’re happy to incorporate requests where possible to make the night feel personal. We also learn and perform your first dance live, which is always a special moment and included as standard.

Our goal is to balance a high-energy, professional set with a personal touch that reflects each couple or client’s preferences.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe our performances as high-energy, professional and full of personality. We’re frequently told that we look like we genuinely love what we do — and we do — which helps create a really engaging and fun atmosphere.

We’re also commonly praised for our strong musicianship, packed dancefloors, and our ability to read the room and keep the energy going from start to finish.
