“Just to say a HUGE thank you for all of your help in organising the bands, DJ and AV for our festival. Tailored made the whole process so straightforward and well organised, it was so reassuring to know you'd have everything in hand. On the day everything ran so smoothly, I didn't need to think about timings or logistics which meant we could all enjoy the day. The bands themselves were fantastic, as were the AV team and DJ. Thanks once again for your help. I will certainly be back in touch should we need anything like this again.”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We are professional musicians and have been performing at weddings and events for many years. We have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest pop and rock hits from the 90s, 00s and beyond so there's certainly something for everyone.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes! As long as we have at least three weeks notice and it’s a song that fits in with our line up of instruments and vocals we’d be more than happy to!

How long do you take to set-up?

75 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around. It’s normally a good idea to have us arrive when dinner and any speeches are finished. Once we’re set up we’ll need to do a quick soundcheck (at full volume) to make sure we sound the best we can in your venue.

What time do you play?

Our standard prices are for 2 hours of live music any time between 7pm and midnight. In our experience, playing a bit later makes for a fuller dance floor.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60-minute live lounge-style acoustic duo, trio or 4-piece set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner.

What is the difference between the ‘pre-mixed DJ service’ that comes with the standard package and the 'band member to DJ live' which is an optional extra?

The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 40 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.

If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price is based on our 4-piece line-up performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Portsmouth. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

How much space do you require?

Ideally we require a minimum space of 2.5m (depth) x 5m (width) on a flat, even surface.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
