Info/FAQ's
How long will you play for?
A typical gig contains 2 x 45 minute sets of live music.
We also offer 2 x 60 minute sets at an increased rate and additional 30 minute sets if required.
Please state how long you would like us to play for when enquiring.
Can you cover a song for my first dance?
Yes! We would be more than happy to learn your first dance. Please give us sufficient notice however in order for us to learn it...
Do you take requests?
We are open to requests from our set list and we will try to include as many as possible for you on the night. Just send us a list of your favourites and we will see what we can do.
Where can I see your set list?
Our set list can be found on our website - HERE
Do you have a CD?
Yes, we have a hard copy of our promotional CD available upon request. However audio can be found on our Soundcloud account
Can you provide music during your interval?
Yes, we can provide music played on an iPod through our PA system which contains a variety of party hits
If you would like to use your own playlist feel free to bring an iPod, laptop or tablet and we can plug it in. Alternatively send us a list of the songs you would like and we will try to add them to our playlist. If you have a DJ booked however, our interval may be a good time for him to play some songs to get people up dancing.
Will I need a DJ?
We provide an acoustic duo containing vocals, guitar and piano which creates a specific type of atmosphere. We try to cater for the audience and choose songs to suit the occasion.
We do encourage a good old boogie however if you are looking to have a disco atmosphere towards the end of the evening, a DJ is recommended.
Can we use your microphone for speeches?
You are more than welcome to use our microphones if we are arranged to be at the venue at the time they are required, and our equipment is set up and checked.
How much space do you need to set up?
We are quite a small outfit so ask for around 3 metres by 3, but can often fit into smaller spaces. Feel free to ask what equipment we will be bringing if you have any doubts.
How long do you need to set up and sound check?
We are usually set up and sound checked within 60 minutes from arrival at the venue.
Can you provide lighting?
Yes. We can provide LED spot lighting if required. (However most venues include this.)
Are you going to be loud?
We are an acoustic duo consisting of vocals, acoustic guitar and light percussion (i.e tambourine/shaker). All instruments and microphones are plugged into our PA system therefore the volume is better controlled than if we were using a full drum kit for. We are able to achieve a good sound at low or high volumes and suitable for small or large spaces. If the venue does however have a sound limiter please try to inform us in advance.
Is all the music live, or do you use backing tracks?
Our sets are primarily all played live however we do have the odd backing track which comprises of additional instrumentation such as strings and percussion.
Will you look smart?
Yes, we always try to look professional and dress accordingly for events and weddings as a good appearance is important. If you have a particular dress code or fancy dress theme and you want us to coordinate please let us know.
Do you do public gigs where we can come and see you live before booking the band?
We are currently taking bookings at live music venues in the the Dorset area, mainly in Bournemouth and Weymouth. Please check out our gig dates - HERE and feel free to come and check us out!
What happens if someone in the band gets ill?
This has never happened to date but if the unlikely event occurred, we have excellent deputising musicians that are well rehearsed that can stand in for us if required. We would of course give you as much notice as possible if this situation were to arise.
We’ve heard of other cover bands getting double-booked. Can this happen with you?
No, we have a shared calendar and reminders to ensure this will never happen. We will never confirm a booking unless this calendar has been double checked and we are 100% available.
