FAQs

How much time do you need for set up & sound check?

1hr is enough for us to get the party started!

What are your standard performance times?

As standard we offer 20:00 - 00:00 with a 30min break.

I'm not sure what my timings are going to be yet, is there any flexibility on the standard timings?

We are happy to work with you to try and accommodate any changes to suit your night!

How long do you take for your break? Are you able to play background music during this time?

We take a 30 minute break and we can provide playlists during that time. 

Can I pick the songs that you'll play on the night?

We offer a show of unique mash-ups and creative arrangements of songs, covering a complex mix of artists and song references with something for everyone - you can trust us to know what to play to keep the dance-floor busy!

Will you learn our first dance if it's a song that you don't already know?

We’d be delighted to learn a version of your favourite song for your special day - just ensure that you give us plenty of time to prepare it properly. We can offer this service at an extra cost. 

Can you take any requests on the night?

If you’re looking for a standard band offering a list of the same cover versions as everyone else, that’s not us.  

If you’re the kind of adventurous person looking for a band enthusiastically entertaining you with new creative versions of songs you know and love, then we’re the band for you. 

My venue has a 1am license, do you offer an extension to keep the night going until then?

We're happy to keep the party going! See our optional extras for pricing. 

Do you offer any other add-on options?

Coming soon!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes. PA, back line and basic band lighting set up are included.

We can also offer a professional lighting set up to enhance the show and create a unique atmosphere at an extra cost (subject to availability).

What do you think your clients love most about your performances?

We are regularly told that ‘we look like we are having the best time’, that we are ‘so entertaining and fun’, as well as ‘clever and original’.  

The energy that we bring to a room is ‘infectious’.  

Just like you, we’re here to dance without caring who’s watching. Sing at the top of our lungs and to remind ourselves to put our phones down and enjoy this time, right here, right now, together. 

Which artists are you most influenced by?

We love artists that span the last 100 years of popular music. 

We love the way Post modern Jukebox turn vintage to modern. 

We love the way Dj’s mix tracks that have no right being together. 

We love Nina Simone’s attitude, Nat King Cole’s charm, Stevie’s Wonder and Beyonce’s swagger. 

We love popular culture references like Game of Thrones and Star Wars. 

We love surprising our audiences. 

Most importantly we’re influenced to play the music that inspires us, no matter how unlikely. 

Can you provide a ceilidh set? If so, could you give us more info about this - how long does it last, what instruments do you play, can you call the dances for our guests?

Coming soon!
