Frequently Asked Questions

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

One of the most memorable gigs we've ever performed was at a private beach wedding in brighton. The atmosphere was absolutely magical, with the sun setting behind us as we played.

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 started gigging whilst at university and our performances developed from there. Since we started we’ve performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and events across the UK and beyond.


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

Terry Hall and The Speacials are the best act that came out of the 80s. We love incorporating hits like Too Much Too Young’, ‘Gangsters’, ‘Ghost Town’, ‘Rat Race’, 'Do Nothing', 'Nite Klub in the set list and many more!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

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.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a 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 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.
