What We Do…
We perform a fun mix of soul, funk and rock covers that will entertain any crowd!
We take great songs that everyone will know and love, and give them a modern infectious twist! Our set includes timeless funk hits from Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, and James Brown, reggae music from Bob Marley, through to classic rock such as Areosmith, Rolling Stones and Santana. There’s also a lot of modern stuff like Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, Outkast, and Bruno Mars to bring the set right up to date!
We are an experienced professional band, and we take bookings for private parties, weddings, and public venues. We tailor our setlist for each event we perform, to make sure the event is a big success!
Things to Check When Booking A Band…
Does the venue allow live music?
Check with the venue that they allow live music in their premises.
Room Size & Audience Size
We need to know the approximate size of both room and the audience.
E.g. medium sized hall for 200 people.
Stage Size
We need a reasonable stage size for the band and equipment. We are a 5 piece band with backline amps, front of house PA and lighting.
Approximate minimum size 5m wide by 2.5m deep.
Unloading Area, Car Parking and Stage Access
Is car parking / unloading areas provided at the venue, and is there easy access from the unloading area to the stage? If the access involves several flights of stairs, we need to allow additional set up time for unloading the equipment. We have a lot of heavy equipment!
Power Supply
We need at least two earthed 13A power supply on a circuit with adequate power capacity. This would be for our exclusive use all night.
Please note for outdoor events, an unearthed 2 core extension lead reels (normally used with lawnmowers) are not adequate. (These are not earthed.)
Public Liability Insurance
What level of PLI is required by the venue? Does the venue need documentation from us? We have PLI and a certificate of insurance available on request.
PAT Testing
Does the venue require PAT Test certificates? Our equipment is PAT tested and certificates are available on request.
Set Up Time
We need approximately 3 hours to set up our equipment. This will include a quick full volume sound check. We will discuss this with you to work our set up time around your event.
Changing & Storage Areas
Does the venue have a changing and storage area for our use? We would appreciate somewhere to prepare if we have travelled a long distance.
Band Ryder
If available, we would appreciate some food and drink if we have travelled a long distance!
Performance Times
We can provide a full evening of entertainment for your event. Typically we would recommend 2 x 1 hour sets with an interval. However, this is flexible and we will work to your event schedule.
Sound Limiter
Does the venue operate a sound limiter? This is a device that cuts power to the stage if the noise exceeds a certain dB level. This needs to be checked with the venue and we need to know the details of how their limiter operates. These are problematic for live amplified bands!
Curfew Times
Does the venue operate a curfew cut off time? This is often in the venue’s licence, and is enforced to prevent nuisance to neighbours. This will set our end time.
DJ’s PA
If we are providing the DJ, they will play her music through our PA.
If you have booked a DJ independently of us, it is worth checking if he is providing his own PA. If the DJ does not provide his own PA we may be able to help.
(We need to use our own PA for technical reasons (and hence are unable to go through a typical DJ’s PA)).
Outdoor Events
For outdoor events, we will need shelter for the stage and the equipment. Electricity and water don’t mix!
