We require a performance area of at least 3m x 2m and access to a nearby power supply. For events with more than 100 guests, we also require a PA system that includes two stage monitors and a mixing desk with at least four input channels. We also kindly request one parking space for the duration of the event, preferably as close to the venue as possible.
Please provide any useful directions, parking instructions, or venue access details in advance, particularly regarding where we should arrive and the best place to unload our equipment.
We provide our own PA system for events with up to 100 guests. However, we do not provide lighting equipment. For larger events, a suitable professional sound system will need to be supplied by the organiser or venue.
Absolutely. We’re happy to play music from Spotify before the performance, during breaks, and after our sets. Whether you’d like us to curate the music or provide your own playlist, we’re flexible and happy to accommodate your preferences.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, we generally arrive two hours before the event for setup. We most often perform either two or three 45-minute sets, as this format creates the best experience for both the band and the audience. However, we're always happy to discuss adjustments to fit your specific event requirements.
We love performing outside and are happy to accommodate outdoor events. To ensure the best experience for both the band and the audience, we kindly ask for a shaded or covered stage, a flat and stable performance area, and access to power close to the stage.
If there are any special songs you’d like us to perform, we’re happy to learn up to three songs specifically for your event. We kindly ask that these requests be made at least two weeks in advance to allow sufficient preparation time. You’re also welcome to create your own set list from our repertoire, or you can leave the musical choices in our hands and let us curate the perfect atmosphere for your event.
Previous clients most commonly describe our performances as professional, reliable, and enjoyable. They often highlight our punctuality, easy communication, and friendly, down-to-earth approach, as well as our ability to create a charming atmosphere with music that is both engaging and pleasant to listen to.
