General

An 11 piece band would need 16 x 28 feet (approx 5 x 8.5 metres) to be comfortable, but we've squeezed into 10 x 20 feet (approx 3 x 6 metres) before

A stage is better for us if it's possible. It ensures all our gear is out of your way, and of course, you'll be able to see us better. We would need 16 x 28 feet (approx 5 x 8.5 metres) to be comfortable, but we've squeezed into 10 x 20 feet (approx 3 x 6 metres) before.

Everything we use plugs in to normal mains sockets - but not all into the same one. Ideally we need at least 3 separate sockets to run extension leads from. We have around 50 plugs to plug in altogether.

Everything we use plugs in to normal mains sockets - but not all into the same one. Our combined wattage for PA, monitors, back-line amps, mixing desk, and lighting is around 8.5 kws. The generator needs to be able to supply more than this - plus whatever your needs are for lighting and catering. The generator must have a conditioner to provide a regulated supply. It needs to be silenced - or positioned well away from the performance area!

We need guaranteed weatherproof protection for our equipment, and a regulated power supply. A stage is better for us if it's possible. It ensures that the ground is level for the equipment, keeps our gear off the floor in the event of rain, and of course, you'll be able to see us better.

Yes please! Ideally we need two rooms, one for the lads and one for the ladies. If that's not possible we can muck in together. Remember though, there are 11 of us, a cupboard size room isn't big enough!

Check out bookings page first. If your date is not listed the chances are that we are not booked, but we may be negotiating with, or holding that date for a client. Use the contact form and we'll be able to let you know if your date is free.

We're pretty busy these days so make your enquiry early. We often get multiple enquiries about the same date but strictly book on a first come first served basis so get your confirmation in quickly.

We can give prospective clients first refusal for a short period of time to enable them to see the band and make a decision. We'll let you know if there is a request pending on any given date and the date that the booking becomes open again.

All our bookings are individually priced depending on the circumstances. Contact us and we can usually email you a detailed price quote within 24 hours.

Let us know that you would like to confirm your booking and we will reserve your date. We can then confirm your requirements. If we have not played at your venue before we will check it out prior to your date. This ensures we have no nasty surprises on the day and keeps your event smooth!

If we are playing a public booking come along! If there are no public events in the near future and you want to make a decision then you are welcome to drop into a rehearsal. Get in touch.

No, we bring all our own sound and lighting equipment.

Get in touch, we'll email them to you.

We can put music of your choice through the PA if you bring your cds or mp3 player, we can play our own mp3s or you can book a DJ to play music while we are not playing.

Sorry, we can no longer supply a disco. We can put music through the PA though, but only until we take down the equipment after we have played. The PA is generally turned off 20 to 30 minutes after we finish.

We are flexible around our setup times and can fit in with your plans within reason. However, if our road team have to arrive very early to fit in with your plans you may incur an extra charge. If absolutely necessary we can arrive, set up and be onstage within 60 minutes, but you'd have to put up with a lot of people rushing around and noise disturbance while the sound system is configured and tested. We much prefer a more sedate approach!

No. A band that drives guests away with excessive volume can ruin an event, so we take great care to get it right. We strongly believe that our music should never overwhelm your guests, and we always strive to attain a volume that is just right for dancing on the dance floor, but also perfect for facilitating easy conversation away from the dance floor. But since no one ever says anything we must be doing something right!

We can currently perform up to two and quarter hours. Generally the sets are 45 minutes but we can be flexible here. A three set booking might be - Set 1: 30 minutes of mellow, gentle tunes. Set 2: 45 minutes of livelier music. Set 3: 60 minutes of full on party music. It's your event, what do you want?

We like to take a break after each set. How long we take depends on your requirements. We'll arrange this with you when you confirm your booking.

In theory the band will travel anywhere if the price is right. Generally speaking though we stay close to Devon

It is not absolutely necessary to feed the band unless your event is in the middle of nowhere. However we do appreciate being included in your food plans because the torture of watching you all eat while we look forward to our sandwiches is unbearable!!

We require either a cheque for the agreed full amount in advance, with time for the cheque to clear before your event, or you can pay us in cash on the day, prior to the performance.

Sorry, no. They are the tools of our trade and we guard them jealously. We can make arrangements (always in advance) to make space for your own gear though.
