"We need a performance space of at least 8 meters x 5 meters. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 3 parking spaces."
"We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue."
"Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig."
"Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music."
"I performed for one of the teams at the London Olympics. It was amazing to entertain the athletes and we almost felt like part of the team!"
“I performed for a corporate event at a top London venue, entertaining guests from across the business. The atmosphere was incredible”
I started performing while I was still at school, and that early experience quickly shaped the direction of my career. Since then, we’ve gone on to perform at hundreds of weddings, private parties, and events across the UK and internationally.
I’ve been influenced by a wide range of artists across reggae, soul, and classic feel-good music, drawing inspiration from the energy, storytelling, and live performance styles of the greats.
"We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best."
"We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area."
"We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them."
"Previous customers would describe me as a high energy solo singer that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing."
