What is your band line
up?
We are a five piece band plus sound engineer. The band line up
consists of;
- Female Lead and Backing vocals,
- Bass, Male Lead and Backing Vocals
- Guitar and Backing Vocals
- Keys
- Drums
What is a typical set
length?
Performances are usually made up of 1x 1 hour, 2x
45mins or 2x 1 hour sets, although we can tailor this to
your requirements.
Are
you able to offer extended performances / extra
sets?
While up to 2 hours of play time is included in the base price,
for an additional fee we can increase our playing time, up to a
maximum of 3hrs. Please enquire for prices.
What is the latest time you can play
to?
Our quotes are based on playing up to Midnight. If you would
like us to continue later than that please discuss it with us
at the time of booking, as an additional fee may
apply.
How
much time do you require to setup?
We ideally like to arrive at least 2 hours before we are due to
start playing. This gives us plenty of time to set-up, sound
check, have a quick break and get into costume prior to
starting.
How
much stage space do you require?
We require a minimum area of 16ft (5m) wide by 12ft (3.7m) deep
for the band to assemble in. We do appreciate as much space as
possible however, as the larger the space, the better visual
performance the band can provide for you.
How
Many Power Sockets do you require?
We require a minimum of 4 power sockets, plus an additional
power socket if you wish us to provide band
lighting.
What are your parking
requirements?
We require parking space for 4 cars, ideally as near as
possible to where you wish us load / unload our equipment. If
there are any access issues to the venue, please let us know
well in advance.
Do
you require any extra storage or changing
facilities?
We do require changing facilities as well as a lockable room in
which we can store costumes, instrument cases
etc.
Do
you require refreshments during the event?
We do request a free supply of drinking water throughout the
event to keep us ticking over. Other non-alcoholic refreshments
or food would be lovely (they are growing boys!) but are not
compulsory.

How
does your booking process work?
Please contact us for a quote. If after receiving this you wish
to go ahead with the booking, we will confirm the details and
send you out an MU Contract. This will need to be signed and
returned with 10 days. We will call you before the gig to
finalise any last minute details. If you do have any questions
between the time of booking and the gig, please feel free to
contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
Do
you take requests?
Given sufficient notice and dependant on song required we are
happy to take requests. This may invoke an additional
charge.
Can
you play our first dance for us?
As the first dance is arguably the most important song of the
evening, we will only play a song not on our list if it is
within our instrumentation and style. If for any reason we
can't perform the song live, we will arrange for the original
version to be played over our sound system at the appropriate
time.
Can
you provide music when you are not on stage?
Yes, we will happily provide an extensive selection of era
appropriate 50's/60's themed music through our PA before in
between and after our sets at no extra
charge.
Can
you play my music through your PA?
Yes. We are happy to play any music provided on an IPod etc, as
long as the device has a standard 3.5mm headphone socket/line
out. Just pass your music player to the sound engineer at the
start of the evening. We are also happy to mix individual song
requests into our pre-recorded selection, although for this
prior notice is obviously required.
Do
you charge extra for sound and lighting equipment?
All PA and lighting equipment is included in the quoted
price.
Do
you use backing tracks?
No! All of our music is 100% live – no backing tracks or
pre-recorded instruments are used.
Some of our guests are musicians. Can
they play with you on a few songs?
Unfortunately, for insurance reasons, we are unable to allow
guest musicians to play with us, even if they provide their own
equipment.
