Do you have all your own PA equipment? 

Yes, we have a top of the range PA suitable for audiences up to 500. 

 

​

Do you have your own lighting?

Yes, we have a full lighting set up for the dance floor and the band.

 

How long are the sets?

We will play up to two hours of live music per band if you book either the party band or the Funk band separately. If you book Jazz as an add on to the main party band, in the form of a duo or trio, we will perform 2 x 1 hour sets of live party music, and 2 x 45 minute sets of live Jazz music. 

 

Do you DJ in between sets?

Yes, we play appropriate DJ music through the PA in between and after our sets. We can take requests or hone each playlist to your liking or you can share your own Spotify playlist with us and we'll play it through our PA. Alternatively if you'd like to bring your own playlist on an iPod we have all the right cables to plug it in to our mixing desk to be played through our speakers. 

 

How long does it take to set up?

We will need an hour and a half to set up from start to finish including doing a sound check. However, we would usually arrive at the venue two and a half hours before our first set, to allow time to have dinner, and to change into our costume, ready for the performance.

 

Will you help with the music schedule?

Yes, we will help from start to finish with scheduling and anything else we can advise on. We have done this many times and are happy to walk you through the process step by step including providing a sample schedule to help you plan your event. 

 

How far will you travel?

We will travel anywhere you like but after 200 miles we will charge extra for the travel time. It's worth getting a quote, no matter how far you venue location is, as we will always try to give a good deal whenever we can. 

 

How much space do you need?

For the jazz duo we will need about 2 metres squared. For the trio we will need about 2 x 4 metres. For bands bigger than a quartet we will need at least 3 x 5 metres. 

 

Will you learn our first dance or special song?

Yes, we will always learn a first dance or special song of your choice. It can be anything you like, although it's worth bearing in mind that we may be limited by the instruments we have depending on which band option you book. 

 

Can I see you play live?

Yes you can. Check out our 'Public Gigs' page, listed at the top of the page for details.

 

What will you wear?

We have various costumes that are appropriate for different occasions including Gatsby themed costumes and masquerade ball outfits. You are welcome to suggest a theme or costume to us prior to the event, but our appearances will always be impeccable whatever the occasion.

 

Can we use your sound system for speeches?

Yes you can use our PA for speeches although, if you have just booked evening entertainment, we usually arrive after the speeches have finished. We can either arrange an early arrival that will cost extra, or if you book the jazz duo or trio for the day time, for a similar price we will already be there with all of our equipment. This way you will have music for the whole day of your event including use of the PA whenever you need it.
