Frequently asked questions...

  

How do I know if you're any good?
Request our free demo CD and read our client feedback on this website. If you go ahead with a booking, the musicians that you hear on the CD will be the same musicians performing for you.

What should I do if I don't know which line-up to book?
Contact us and we can advise you on which line-ups will be the most suitable for your function.

Do we need to supply any amplification equipment?
We provide our own PAS equipment for up to 150 guests and this provision is included in our fee. We need to know the number of guests attending your function in order that we can tailor our amplification equipment to suit guest numbers and the venue. We require access to a power source and a suitably large enough area to be kept aside for the band to set-up in.

What is the band dress code?
Our band-members dress in smart black for the vast majority of our bookings, however do advise us if a particular dress code is in place.

How long do you play for?
We generally perform in sets of 45 minutes to 1 hour at a time with short breaks in between each set. We usually undertake bookings of up to 2.5 hours in length but we aim to be flexible in terms of your playing time requirements.

Do you play outdoors?
We often undertake outdoor bookings during the summer. In order to to so, we require adequate protection from the elements. We require a safe and reliable power source and level surfaces on which to set up. We also require shade from the sun and we have to set up in a sheltered area away from strong winds. We cannot perform outdoors if it is highly windy, cold, wet or damp as such conditions can damage our instruments, electrical equipment and potentially our musicians.

Do you play requests?
If the requested tune is already in our repertoire, we are happy to oblige. If you require a particular song, for example, for a wedding ceremony, advise us of your choice in advance and, as long as it is viable for the line-up booked, we will source the music, arrange and perform it at no extra cost to you.

What is your fee?
Our fees vary depending primarily on the size of the line-up and for how long we are booked to play. Contact Carole for more information and we will put together a quote in accordance with your requirements.

What's your booking procedure?
Once all details have been agreed, we will send you our contract in writing. We ask you to acknowledge the terms and conditions and sign and return your confirmation of the booking. We request a 50% deposit for Wedding bookings.
