Q. What geographical area do you cover?
Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Sussex, London and certain parts of Hampshire. However we're happy to consider requests to travel further afield – please email us for further details.^Top

Q. Can I see you play "live"?
The vast majority of our bookings are for private individuals so it's very rare for us to play at a public venue. As you'll appreciate, the people who book us prefer not to have uninvited guests turning up at their functions, even if it's only to watch the band for 10 minutes.

However it may be possible for you to come along to one of our rehearsals, so you can hear what we sound like "live". Simply email us if you'd like to know when we're next rehearsing.^Top

Q. I can't hear the demo tracks on your website – can you send me your free demo CD?
Certainly. Email us your address and we'll post one to you straightaway.^Top

Q. How do I know whether you're available?
Simply check our diary which lists the dates for which we've already been booked. If the date of your event isn't shown then please don't hesitate to email us.

Q. How do I make a booking?
Simply call Steve on 07715 041583 or email us and we'll get back to you.^Top

Q. Can I book you provisionally?
By all means. We're happy to hold a particular date for you although we do ask that you confirm one way or the other within a week or so. If we receive an enquiry in the meantime we'll make sure we give you "first refusal".^Top

Q. Can we request a specific song for our "first dance"?
Yes. You can select any song from our current set list or we can play your favourite track on CD before beginning our first "live" set.^Top

Q. How long does it take you to set up your equipment?
No more than an hour and three quarters. If possible we like to have a sound check but we realise this isn't always possible – for example, if you're getting married and your guests are already situated in the room when we arrive.^Top

Q. Have you got full Public Liability cover and a current PAT certificate?
Yes. We're happy to provide copies of the relevant certificates on request. An increasing number of hotels and venues now insist that all entertainers have both Public Liability cover and a valid Portable Appliance Test (PAT) electrical certificate.^Top

Q. There's a noise limiter fitted in our intended venue - is this OK?
Unfortunately not. In common with most other bands we are unable to play through noise limiters because they can result in frequent and embarrassing "cut outs" in the music. Not only would this ruin the event for you and your guests but it could also damage our equipment. ^Top

Q. Do you use a sequencer to "fill out" your on-stage sound?
Absolutely not. Every sound you hear will be an authentic one generated by us. We believe that if you book a "live" band then that's exactly what you should get.^Top

Q. Can we use your sound system for speeches/raffles etc?
By all means, although bear in mind that this facility won't be available to you until after we've set up our equipment and had a full sound check.^Top

Q. How long do you play for?
We normally perform two "live" sets, each one lasting about an hour. Typically this would be from 9.15pm - 10.15pm and 10.45pm - 11.45pm but we'll agree the specific timings with you in advance.^Top

Q. Can you provide pre-recorded music when you're not performing?
Certainly. We've got a range of CD music that we can play either to keep the party going between our "live" sets and/or to provide background music (for example, while your guests are eating). We've also got some excellent disco lights that add to the atmosphere.^Top

Q. Do you need feeding?
Yes please. Often it can be 10 hours from the time we leave our front doors to the time we get back home so a little sustenance would be most welcome. Normally we join with guests at the buffet but as a minimum we ask for a sufficient quantity of sandwiches and assorted snacks for 5 people.^Top

Q. Do I need to arrange a changing room for you?
Ideally yes. Your venue should be happy to provide this free of charge.^Top

Q. What happens if I've got a question that isn't answered here?
Please don't hesitate to email us or call Steve on 07715 041583.^Top
