Frequently Asked Questions

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

Penrith beer festival and the Pocket restaurant in Keswick the audiences were amazing plus their booking guy gave us a brilliant review too.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing any gig but there is something special about the small intimate guys.


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

We originally began as a vocal and keys duo but found that the music benefitted a great deal from having drums. We tried as a band but found guitars a bit too harsh on the eardrums.


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

Tom Jones without a doubt Delilah is a fantastic finisher and crowd singalong.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Usually arrive an hour before start time , usually 2 x 45 min but totally flexible when required.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Of course as long as there is shelter from the elements and a power socket and a flat surface to set up on.


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

We would love to perform requests for customers given ample time. We could even add the option of solo vocalist and even karaoke.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

OK here is our best review word for word.
If you walked into The Pocket blindfolded last week you might have thought Tom Jones had dropped by to front this power trio.
But there's no mistaking why they call Stephen Bailey 'The Wailer', as he fills the room with deep guttural blues you could be back in 50's Mississippi.
With a rhythm section tighter than a bungee jumper's harness and keyboard skills that could give Jools Holland a run for his money, these guys mean business!
