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!

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 :)

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!

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

Duo: (Vocals + your choice of keys or guitar)
1.5 hour // 2 hour

Solo: (Vocals + customised backing tracks)
1 hour // 1.5 hour // 2 hour // 2.5 hour

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

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.

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.
