The Upbeats

It takes us one hour to be ready to play once we get access to the room.

8pm until midnight 

Absolutely, we are happy to be flexible and work with your venue on the schedule!

We take 30 minutes for our break while the buffet is being served to allow your guests time to eat and have another drink. 

We have background music that we play through our PA system during this time.

Yes and no. We have more songs in our setlist than we will manage to play on a night, so we are happy for you to choose from our setlist on the page. 

In terms of songs we don't already do, we are happy for you to request a few songs and we will learn them for you. 

Let us know about these requests as far in advance as possible so we can rehearse them to the proper standard.

Absolutely! We are more than happy to learn not only your first dance but also a few other requests as well.

Definitely. If it's a song we are able to busk then we will give it a go. If we don't know it then we are happy to play the original track through our sound system.

Yes we do! This can be added to your booking through the agency and we can do a DJ set until 1am where we play club style music that we can't play ourselves as a guitar band. GBX!

We also provide daytime music for your ceremony and/or drinks reception. Whether you are looking for instrumental piano music to play you down the aisle, or acoustic guitar covers as the backdrop to your drinks reception--we are able to provide daytime music to suit your needs. 

This can be added to your booking at any point so don't hesitate to get in touch.

It is! We provide all we need to perform. We have recently upgraded our rig to include a digital desk so we can record our set and post some highlights of your wedding, such as your first dance, online.

Our energy! We absolutely love to play music and we know our enthusiasm translates onto the dancefloor with all the air guitar and air drumming we see our audiences do. It's as much a night out for us as it is for the guests! 

We have a really versatile set that includes something for everyone, and we are great at keeping an eye on what the audience respond to the most so we can tailor the rest of the setlist towards that.

We all have our different favourites but our common ground lies in late 90s and early 00s rock music such as: Foo Fighters, Oasis, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, blink-182, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers.

We always say our setlist should look like a T in the Park lineup! So we love our oldies and our pop music, but indie rock is the staple of our sound.

Yes we can. Up to 45 minutes of ceilidh but we find 30 to be the sweet spot. 

We teach all the steps first before we play, and we call the dances as they go. We use a backing track for the traditional instruments, and we play along with our drums and guitars to give it more oomph.
