Frequently Asked Questions

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

We performed at an adoption party where we tailored the sets to meet the client's requirements. We obtained the booking by recommendation.


What's your favourite type of event?

We enjoy any type of event, however, weddings and special birthdays are favourites as we can work closely with the client, discussing specific requirements, their guests are always ready to party and the atmosphere has a vibrant vibe.


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

The band has been going/performing for around 6 years. As individuals, we have worked with various bands before auditioning to join
As One Collective. The new lineup gelled quickly and our on-stage chemistry is very evident as we love performing together.


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

There are so many excellent artists out there, that it's difficult to narrow it down. We love playing Soul music and are influenced by Chaka Khan (Rufus), Anita Baker, Luther Vandross Frankie Beverley and George Benson.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We generally arrive at least 2-4 hours before the performance to set up - depending on access. Our usual performance format is 2 x 45 minutes with the option of a 3rd 45 minute set for extended evenings. We are happy to negotiate shorter or longer sets to suit the client.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade/shelter from the elements, a flat level surface and a safe power supply close to the performance area.


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

We generally create the set list, however we are happy to learn specific songs, but this would be reflected in the fee as we would need extra rehearsal time. We can tailor a programme from our extensive catalogue.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We have had amazing feedback from audience members and guests such as "They took us right back to the good old days of solid soul, funk and Reggae. Pure nostalgia! " and "Soul classics, floor fillers, chilled vibes, r n b, neo-soul as performed by talented musicians and featuring elegant, soul soaked vocals. What more could you want" and when asked if he enjoyed the evening, "I did, loved the whole set. A brilliant mix of classic soul and big reggae tunes..Not many bands doing the same 👊


Do you have a stage/performance area to accommodate a 9 - piece band

We have a large indoor and outdoor performance area that will accommodate 9 - piece band.
