How many are in the band?
There are 4 of us as standard, but occasionally we come as a 5-piece depending on our extra man’s availbility. We have 2 singers, 3 bass players and 3 drummers. If we do come as a 5-piece, there’s no extra charge.
How much do you charge?
Our fee varies depending on the time of year. For example, a Summer Saturday would be significantly more expensice than a Tuesday in February. Please use the quote form to get an accurate price.
Do you do a discount for charity?
We certainly do. We will always discount 1-0% off our fee for a registered charity as long as 100% of the proceeds are going to that cause.
Do you bring a stage and a dance floor?
No. That’s not something that we would provide. Your venue will be able to supply you with contact details of one of their approved suppliers. We are more than happy to perform on the floor though, so please don’t feel obliged to hire a stage
What else do we have to provide?
We’re pretty low maintanence, but we do ask that your provide some food and soft drinks for us either prior to the performance or in the interval if the set is to be broken into two, which is often that case at weddings. We also ask that you ensure there are two car parking spaces for us.
IS YOUR EQUIPMENT PAT TESTED?
It certainly is. Each and every year, we have a company in to check that all the gear that we use is reliable and safe to use. We send the certification to your venue in advance so that it’s not something you have to worry about.
Do you bring your own equipment?
For weddings, we’re completely self contained and bring with us a professional PA and Lighting system so our brides and grooms don’t have to worry about anything on the day. For corporate shows at very large venues, we provide a technical specification for your production company to work from. Our manager will always liase with them to make sure everything runs smoothly.
