Frequently Asked Questions

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

Every concert has its own special charm, so it’s hard to pick just one as the best. Each venue we’ve played has a unique atmosphere that makes every experience memorable and distinct.


What's your favourite type of event?

We enjoy playing at all kinds of events, but weddings are definitely our favorite! The atmosphere is always joyful, guests are enthusiastic, and it’s a real pleasure to get everyone dancing and sharing those special moments.


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

Our band has been together for 13 years. We started out playing small local venues, which helped us gain experience and build our network. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to perform at larger events and a variety of venues. Live performances have become our true passion—a special time to share our music with the audience and keep growing as artists.


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

We’ve been most influenced by artists like John Mayer, Jamie Cullum, and Jamiroquai. Each of them brings a unique style that has helped shape our sound—whether it’s John Mayer’s soulful guitar work, Jamie Cullum’s jazz-pop fusion, or Jamiroquai’s funky grooves. As for a favorite artist, it’s hard to pick just one because they all inspire us in different ways.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We usually play hours for the cocktail & hours for the party, then the DJ plays.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


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

Clients are invited to suggest songs they would like us to prepare, provided these requests align with what is feasible for our group.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Just take a look at our reviews—our clients are consistently more than satisfied. We often receive very positive feedback about our energy, musical quality, and the great atmosphere we create.
