How does it work?
Who are you?
We're best described as a collective of full-time professional musicians located across the country. Each and every one of us has years of experience playing weddings, functions, parties and corporate events. When we're not playing live you might find us in the studio as session musicians, teaching future superstars or writing our own music!
Every one of us is professional, smarltly dressed, friendly and reliable. Nigel is our Artist Manager and will be there for you any time via phone, video call or email so you can be guarateed great service and a quick reply to your questions - taking some of the stress out of organising your big day!
What do you do?
Our musicians are experts at getting the party going - reading the room and knowing when to play the right song and get everyone on the dancefloor! Our musicians use a mix of professional backing tracks, guitar loops and other musical tricks to create a full band sound your guests will love! Between the live music a set party playlist is provided to keep the party going.
What kind of songs do you play?
Our musicians have a vast repertoires of songs and a deep well of experience to put together a set list that will have ALL AGES on the dancefloor. You are of course welcome to have input into the song choices too, though we do recommend you allow us some flexiblity to put our expertise to use for you!
Which musician will I have?
It depends upon location and availability and we'll usually be able to let you know upon booking. You can rest assurred that all the musicians in our collective are of the same elite, professional standard.
What if my musician falls ill or cancels?
Our musicians pride themselves on their work and are extremely reliable and we've never had a musician cancel for any reason. However, one of the strenghts of being in a collective is that if someone did break their finger the night before, we have a pool of superb musicians to replace them and do a fantastic job for you.
Can you learn and play our first dance?
Yes ! As long as it's a song which suits our range/vocal style and we feel we can do a really good version of it for you, we can do that at no extra cost. Of course, sometimes it's the recording itself which has special meaning to a couple, in which case we can source the track and play that for you before kicking off our first set.
At what kind of venue can you play?
ANY! While we often play at large venues, we're also perfect for when space is limited but you still want live music and a real musician interating with the crowd. We'll ideally need 2x2 metres (6x6 feet) and have never encountered a venue we weren't able to play in!
What about timings?
We're very flexible on timings and can play at set times in the night or play it by ear. We can arrive any time from 5pm and perform up to midnight inclusive of the cost. Early arrival or staying beyond midnight can usually be arranged at £50 per hour.
Can you provide music for our ceremony and at afternoon drinks?
Yes! Our full afternoon package is £230 and covers elegent acoustic songs as your guests arrive, music for you aisle walk, signing and exit (live or recorded) followed by an afternoon acoustic set to elegantly warm up your guests over drinks and canapes. If you don't require ceremony music, the afternoon acoustic set is also available at £160. Many of our musicians can also provide a manned DJ serivce when they're not singing live, taking requests on the night to 1am. Please ask for details!
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and is your equipment PAC tested?
Yes - all of our musicians have these documents which we can send to you or the venue directly on request.
Do you need to be fed?
Yes please! We often have to set off from home early in the afternoon to reach you and it's a long day, so our musicians really appreciate a proper meal to give us the energy and focus we need to give you the best possible performance. But you don't have to allocate wedding breakfasts/party dinners for us - we're happy with any kind of hot meal (something more substantial than a cold buffet or sandwiches and chips!) which most venues are happy to provide. A private supply of water or soft drinks is also appreciated.
