We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing.
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.
yes
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 us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.
