What are your typical setup and performance times?
We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45-minute or 2 x 60-minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
Are you happy to perform outside?
We are happy to play outside but do require cover from rain to avoid damage to equipment.
Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually ask for 1 month's notice for this. Clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them
How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?
Individually, we’ve received praise for our musicianship, professionalism, and ability to create the perfect atmosphere for any event. Clients often describe our performances as sophisticated, soulful, and effortlessly engaging, with a balance of smooth background jazz and groove-driven lounge music. Whether it’s setting a relaxed tone for a drinks reception or providing an upbeat yet refined soundtrack for an evening event, we’re known for delivering high-quality live music with a polished and dynamic sound.
Do you take requests?
Yes! We have a carefully curated setlist of jazz, soul, and R&B classics, but we’re happy to accommodate specific requests if arranged in advance. If you have a special song in mind, let us know, and we’ll do our best to include it in our performance.
