Do You Take Song Requests Or Learn Songs Especially?
Yes we take requests before your event. If you have any particular songs in mind that we do not already have in our repertoire we are happy to learn them with plenty of notice. We also take requests on the night if we know the song already. We are very happy play any other requests through our DJ service during your event.
Will You Learn Our First Dance?
Yes we are happy to learn your first dance as close to the original as possible. We understand that many first dances are choreographed, so being almost as identical to the original song is extremly important and we pride ourselves on covering songs to sound as close as possible. We are also happy to play the original song through our DJ service if preferred.
How Much Power Does The Band Need?
The venue needs to supply an adequate safety earth mains supply with 3 or more completely separate 13 amp wall sockets. Power for the band should be local to the stage and not more than 10 metres distance. It should be available from the time the band is on site. Any delay can cause the late start of the show. Please also note that dishwashers and bar equipment can cause a drop if on the same supply as the band. This can cause disruption to your evening and certain band equipment such as processors may not operate properly. If the above cannot be supplied an external generator will be required.
How Much Space Is Needed To Set Up?
The stage area should be a minimum 8ft ceiling height, 10ft in depth by 25ft in width (if possible). Portable stages should be 5 on the back and 3 on the apron (front). We have squeezed into smaller spaces, so please get in touch if you are worried about space and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
If there is no stage at your event it will be fine for us to play on hard flooring as long as there is a similar same sized area/space available. If the venue is a marquee, the band requires a hard wood flooring to set up on.
Do You Have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, we have public liability insurance and all equipment is PAT tested. Documentation to prove this is available on request.
How Long Do You Take To Set Up?
Depending on how quick the get in is and locality of the stage to changing area, the band need just over an hour to be fully set up and sound checked and another 20 minutes to get changed, ready to perform.
How Many People Are In The Band?
We perform as a 5 piece band (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards & drums). They have a very tight sound and many people have commented how alike the band sounds to the real songs they are actually covering.
