FAQs

What areas do you cover?

We typically cover the following:-


Northamptonshire

Bedfordshire

Buckinghamshire (Buckingham, Milton Keynes)

Hertfordshire (St Albans)

Leicestershire (Market Harborough)

Oxfordshire (Banbury, Bicester)

Warwickshire (Warwick)


However, we enjoy gigging so much we're willing to travel further, although this would need to cover our travel expenses depending on the distance.

Can you provide lighting and PA?

Yep, we have our own PA and mixer. We also have some lighting and a fog machine if required. 


We've even got a flux capacitor!

What do we need to provide for the band?

As we're a 3-piece we don't need much room - enough space for the drumkit, PA speakers, 3 amps, 3 microphones and pedals. If you're unsure, send us in a photo of the performance space for us to evaluate. We're used to setting up in small spaces - we're a tight-knit band!


We also require at least 3 power sockets. We can provide extension leads.


It would also be much appreciated if you can also provide at least 2 allocated parking spaces for the band. It makes our lives easier for loading / unloading our gear.


We also need at least an an hour and half to setup and run a quick sound-check.

How long can you play for?

A typical gig for us is usually 3 hours with a short 15 minute interval between 2 sets. That's around 35 to 40 songs depending on the setlist. Not many bands play that long which makes us great value for money.


We are very flexible on timings though and can cater for whatever you need.

Will you play any requests?

With plenty of notice we can play any of the songs from our song-list.  


We're also happy to learn a song which isn't in our repertoire, such as a 'first dance' request for a wedding, or a favourite song for the birthday girl/boy or guest of honour. We will need plenty of notice if you require us to learn a new song though, to ensure that we can get it  to our usual standard of excellence in time!

Can you play at our charity fundraiser?

Sure! We'll even do it for free, so long as our set is at least an hour long.


The only payment we would ask for is the food and drink variety. Oh... and a positive review wouldn't go amiss ;-)

Do you publicise your events?

Of course. All confirmed gigs are added to the Gigs section of this website and also added to our Lemonrock and Facebook pages. We also share our events on various Facebook groups.


We can also provide you with posters in advance.
