FAQs

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

It usually takes us 1hr from gaining access to the hall to being fully sound checked & ready to start. If it's a long, tricky carry from the van to the stage then it might take us 5-10 mins longer.

What are your standard performance times?

8pm to 12am with a 30min buffet break.

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

The reason our standard performance times are 8pm-12am is that this is the most common time frame used by wedding venues. Most of the gigs we do fit in perfectly with those times. 

That said, we are more than happy to discuss this with you if you feel the need for more flexibility.

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

Our break is 30mins and we will provide background music.

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

Yes, you can pick up to 20 of your favourite songs from our set-list to guarantee they will be played on the night. 

The rest of the songs performed will be a mixture of guests request and songs chosen by us. 

Oh, and probably most importantly, please let us know if there are any songs you don't want played (whatever the reason may be).

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

Yes, if it's a song within our singers range. Stewart does have a large male vocal range and is able to sing songs by many female artists too. 

But don't go asking the poor guy for Mariah Carey etc... we all have limits lol.

Can you take any requests on the night?

Absolutely! We love asking for requests. If we know it, we'll play it!

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

We offer an optional DJ Set, which is perfect for venues with a late license. Want some bangin GBX style tunes? Or maybe some classic floor fillers? We've got you covered.

Do you offer any other add-on options?

We can offer you an earlier set up time at an additional fee, if it's something that your event needs.

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

Yes, all of our P.A. & lighting equipment is included in the quote you receive.

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

That's a tricky question! A lot of our clients love the fact that we can suit all age groups with our huge range of songs. We also get told a lot that our sound is excellent, which is a great compliment!

Which artists are you most influenced by?

Soul singers like Al Green & Ben E King are a big influence on my vocal style (Stewart) and Andrew is a sucker for clubland classics haha.

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?

We can do a short ceilidh set which would be approx. 15mins long. Stewart calls out the steps for each song while Andrew plays guitar along with the ceilidh track.
