What to expect

The Band:

- We are punctual, friendly & professional.
- We'll come smartly dressed for the occasion.
- We'll work with you to make sure you're satisfied with the service.

Process:
- Let us know the date, time, venue and duration of the gig.
- Let us know the size of your party. This helps us gauge what equipment we might need. The larger the crowd, the more powerful our equipment needs to be.
- Once we have this, we will send you a quote (or let you know we are already booked that day).
- If you agree with the quote, we'll go ahead and reserve the date for your event.
- Next, we'll need details as to whether it is for a cocktail (background music), a feature performance, a wedding, Christmas party, or something else. This helps us decide on the best set list to prepare.

Equipment:
- If the venue has in-house equipment, we can work with them directly to figure out the details.
- If the venue does not have equipment, we will bring everything we need, you don't have to worry about a thing!
- Depending on the size of the event/venue, we may have to charge extra setup fees if we need to rent additional equipment. If so, we will let you know in the quote.
