How do I choose the right venue?
If it's your favourite local restaurant or a room above a pub, assess the practicality for your event.. Try to imagine how things will look on the night.. Is there a stage and a dance floor? (or suitable space) Is there a separate area (or other room) for a buffet?...
Avoid venues with difficult parking, poor access or lots of stairs.. as with any band there is always a lot of heavy equipment to carry. Rooms with low ceilings or alcoves create harsh acoustics which can be quite wearing on the ears!... the last thing you want is to see your guests leaving early!

How much space do you need?
The stage equipment needs a minimum area of 3m wide by 2m deep (approx. 10' x 7') there will also be large PA speakers and lighting stands positioned either side.

How long do you play for?
A typical show would involve 2 x 45 minute performances or one longer dance set of approximately 60-70 minutes. Much depends on the nature of the event.

Can I hear a demo?
Yes, click on the link 'songs & samples' in the menu above, the player should start automatically, please contact me if you experience any problems.

Do you provide background music?
Background music is included and carefully selected to match the progressive mood of the evening from the time your guests begin to arrive and during breaks.

How far do you travel?
Anywhere within mainland UK.

How long do you take to set up?
In an easily accessible venue up to one hour (normally around 45 mins).

Do you have any special requirements?
After a long journey followed by several hours waiting to perform it is essential to have a comfortable room in which to prepare, change and relax. This should be private and secure with a table and seating for at least two people, an electric point would also be useful.
