Our rates are very competitive and we would prefer to have the work than to price ourselves out of the market! We are always punctual and deliver the goods or go beyond expectations
We usually arrive 2 hours before the performance, but setup takes around 45 minutes, we perform on average 2 x 50 minutes sets.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area, plus a small table.
We can learn specific songs for the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
They love our choice of songs, our vibe is relaxing but we can get the crowd on the dance floor if needed.
