Frequently Asked Questions

Typical set lengths are 2 x 1 hour live music or 3 x 40 minutes. We have found this to be the opitmal time for most events. The band offer a complimentary DJ service to ensure there are no breaks in music at your event

We require an hour to set up our equipment and perform sound checks. We recommend that this happens in an empty room if possible to avoid disturbing your guests. Need the band set up early before your event? Not a problem, we can negotiate an early arrival.

The more, the better! Seriously though, our minimum requirement is around 5m (width) x 3m (depth) - the depth is very important as not many people realise that the drumkit is actually deeper than it is wide, and if you're trying to get  singers in front of it, you need to make sure the stage area has enough depth to accommodate that. We are a 7 piece band and require enough space for our members and their equipment. The more space you can offer the more room we have to bring high energy!

Typical timings would be the band arriving from 5pm to setup and ready to play live music from 7:30pm/8pm. We wouldn't advise starting the band before this time to give your guests time to get settled and into the party spirit! The band will play 2 x 1 hour live sets or 3 x 40 mins with a midnight finish. However, every event is unique and we are happy to negotiate early arrival or a later finish at additional cost.

We ask for a hot meal for 7 members and a supply of free soft drinks for the evening. We also request a green room where we can get changed, store our equipment cases and hang out during times when we are not performing.

We also require a minimum of 6 x 13amp plug sockets in the area of the stage with enough stability and power to run the entire band and lighting.

Around 4 weeks before your event, we'll send you our songlist from which we will request your essential inclusions and also any from the list you'd prefer us not to play. It's best if you don't try to pick every song we're going to play - over the years we've become experts in what works and what doesn't, which songs fit together and how to 'pace' an evening. It's hard work putting together set lists but of course we want to personalise the event for you and so your input is essential to us.
