Frequently Asked Questions

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

I would say being on backing vocals for Laville, supporting John Legend at the o2 Arena in 2019.
As a band we often play at Boxpark (Wembley and Croydon) which is always super fun as its quite a big crowd and is guaranteed to be an awesome vibe because everyone knows what they're there for - a great time!


What's your favourite type of event?

Has to be weddings, once we are soundchecked and ready to start playing it is the best vibe, every time! You get a variety of age groups and we take pride in the fact that we have something every generation will know and love :)


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

I started our band in 2011 and we began playing duo gigs in pubs and at open mics, and before we knew it people were wanting to hire us for their weddings. We were thrown in at the deep end which massively helped us get where we are today. We've grown from a duo, to a 4 piece acoustic band (including double bass and cajon), to a 5 piece band with option of add-ons like shared vocals, horn section and even our DJ if you need one. I'm loving where we're at right now!


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

Chaka Khan, Prince, Musiq Soulchild, gospel music, salsa music, brazilian jazz funk, house and garage - the lot!
Can't pick a favourite song I'm afraid...!

5 piece: (Vocals, keys, bass, drums + guitar OR sax)
1.5 hour // 2 hour


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely, just need to be covered if its likely to drizzle, or be too hot for too long


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

We don't do a private gig unless we've discussed set list with our client! The way we've found works best is if you go through our full repertoire, highlight any that you'd love to hear, mark any songs or artists we should avoid, then leave the rest to us! We also welcome up to 3 requests if you don't already see them on our song list.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Some cheeky comments we get repeatedly: "I thought it was the original track playing!" or "better than the original!"
but my absolute favourite is when people compliment our song choices. Or that our band members vibe really well together.
