How long do you play for?
We usually play 2 hour long sets. However we can arrange this into 3 x 40 minute sets if that is preferable.
What time do you start and finish?
We can start and finish whenever you like and try to be as flexible with regards to each client’s needs.
How long do you take to set up?
It usually takes around between two – three hours (depending on the lighting package selected) to get set up and sound checked. However, each venue is different and sometimes it can take longer to get the sound just right so we like to arrive a minimum of two hours before your guests to give us plenty of time.
Can I provisionally book you?
Yes, if available we will “pencil” a date in for you
