We require a reasonable space for 3 performers and tech equipment. 6 metres x 8 metres would be a good benchmark minimum space measurement.


What information do you require about a venue?

We would be grateful to receive information about the parking and load in. If the load un is upstairs flights of stairs, we would certainly need to be aware in advance.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We provide top of the range stage sound and lighting equipment fully included in all our quotes.


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

We are happy to provide you with all the necessary cable connections to link any device to our PA sound system, so that you can playlist your favourite songs before and after our sets. Please let us know in advance so that we can include this service in our quote.

Private party or wedding, however, we are happy to perform at any event of any kind.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We usually arrive a minimum of 1 and a half hours before the scheduled performance time. Our sets are typically offered at 2 x 45 mins. However, if crowds are engaging well with us, we very often extend those timings to closer to à full hour. 3 x 45 sets are also on offer, at a higher quoted price.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Indeed we can perform outdoors, provided power supply is within reasonable proximity, and that overhead cover is in place (such as gazebo) to guarantee full electrical safety against any potential precipitation.


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

We can indeed offer a wide range of repertoire and requests. If a certain request is needed and is not currently in our repertoire, we will endeavour to learn the specific song for the client. However, this will be reflected in the quote.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our clients review and recommend us very highly, with typical comments relating to highly energetic and lively sets that encourage a busy and bustling dance floor.
