    We are happy for you to suggest songs from our repertoire that you would like to hear, however there are certain songs that segue into each other, have special arrangements or even equipment changes, so ultimately the final set is chosen by the band. Needless to say, we have masses of experience and will always adapt the set to the audience where needed.

    Singing and performing on stage can be a physical task so soft drinks are normally provided by the client. We do not include 'food or a meal' as a part of our contract, however we often have to travel for a long period to get to a venue before setting up and sound checking before an evening of performing, therefore if you do have the option to provide food or a meal for the band it is always very much welcomed.

    Yes, depending on how many band members are performing, we may require a number of spaces to accommodate our vehicles. In the event of restricted access or shortage of parking the band must be notified prior to your event. This gives us time to make suitable arrangements.
