Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of the best gigs we've done was a series of shows across South Africa, where we had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous international artists, including Abel Selaocoe and many others. As for the best venue we've worked at, we've had memorable experiences at various locations that have provided exceptional acoustics and a great atmosphere for our performances.

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

Our journey began with being part of the prestigious big band at the Youth Legends in Dorkey House, South Africa.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We typically arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up our equipment and ensure everything is ready for a seamless show. Our usual performance consists of 2 sets, either 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minutes, as we have found these set times work well for us and our audiences. However, we are flexible and can adjust our performance length to meet the specific needs and preferences of our clients. Customer satisfaction is our priority, and we always strive to deliver a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We're happy to perform outside; however, we do request certain accommodations to ensure a smooth performance. These include access to shade to protect our equipment and performers, a flat and level surface for safety and stability, and a power supply conveniently located near the performance area. These considerations help us deliver our best performance regardless of the venue setting.
