FAQs

How much do you charge?

Unfortunately, it is really difficult to give an indication of our charges without knowing a bit more about your event. Various things can affect the cost of hiring a band including the date, the size and location of the venue, the length of time you want us to play and the equipment we will need to bring.

Our priority is to give your guests the best possible experience and to work within your budget wherever possible. So please, contact us now and we will be happy to give you a quotation with no obligation and no hard sell.

My venue is small and I'm only inviting a few guests. Should I book a smaller band?

From our experience, the size of venue and the number of guests bears no relation to the size of band that would be best suited to the event. Our largest band has played at fantastic events held in small rooms for less than 50 guests. The size of band should be dictated by the budget you have available and not by the size of the venue.

You could look at our acoustic Trio/Quartet - this is made up of many options from the original line up - male vocals/guitar, female vocal, saxaphone, percussion, bass. Perfect for background music but will also get people moving!

How much deposit is required?

We require 15% of the full fee at the time of booking. The balance is then paid by direct transfer of cheque a week before your event.

What areas do you cover?

We are happy to play anywhere in the world!

Where can I see you play?

Due to our busy private event schedule we don’t always have time to public events but please do email or check out our socials to see if we have any coming up.

Private Events
We also perform regularly at private functions around the UK. Although we cannot officially invite clients to these events it may be possible for you to get close enough to hear the band, particularly if the event is in a public building such as a hotel or restaurant. Please contact us now for full details of performance dates in your area.
