Frequently asked questions.
How far will you travel?
We are willing to travel all over the UK and worldwide.
Do you have a brochure?
Yes of course, email us your postal address and we will send you a brochure and demo CD.
What are your technical requirements?
Our minimum power requirements for the 5/7 piece are 1 x 13 amp supply. Ideally we would like 2 x 13 amp supplies so we can use our lighting to its fullest. A 16 Amp Cee-Form feed is also fine.
Do you need a stage?
Ideally it is better if we are on a stage as it helps with the projection of sound and ease of viewing for your guests. It is certainly not essential though and we have played many events without a stage.
How much room do you need?
An area around 6m x 4m is ideal for the 5/7 piece band although we are used to performing in some tight areas. We will always fit around what is available. The 10 piece band will require much more room.
Do we need to pay you a deposit?
Yes we will require a deposit of 35% of the full fee to secure the booking. The balance is then due 2 weeks before your event.
How long do you play for?
Normally we play 2 x 1hr sets although at weddings we 3 sets of 40 mins tends to work better.

How much do you charge?
Pricing varies according to size of the band you require, venue size, distance of travel, set-up and finish times. Please email or make an enquiry for an exact quote. Our booking page will give you an approximate price.
Do you have any personal requirements?
We will require a room to change in and refreshment drinks to hand. Our musicians may have travelled some distance to your event so they will also require a hot meal.
How long do you need to setup?
The 5 and 7 piece lineups will only require 45 minutes to setup. The 10 piece show band will require a minimum of 1.5 hours to install the full production.
Can I come and see you play?
Unfortunately most of our bookings are for private events so this can be difficult.
It is not impossible though as some of our clients are happy for you to stand near the back of the room and watch.
Do you use backing tracks?
No, we are a completely live band and never use backing tracks.
How do I make a booking?
Just fill out the enquiry form and we will contact you by email or phone within 24 hours. Once you are happy with the details we will issue you with a contract.
