Will you learn a specific song for our wedding?
Of course! Our standard package includes one request - this could be your first dance or any other song that is special to you.

Yes. We have a lot of experience at playing in venues with sound restrictions. We can use electronic drums and ampless setups as required.

Depending on the venue it takes us 60-90 minutes to set up. On average we're set up in around an hour.

Do you offer a DJ service inbetween sets?
Our standard package includes our 'iPad DJ' which plays pre-prepared playlists between our sets. If you're a Spotify user you can customise these ahead of your event. If you'd prefer a live DJ taking requests and making announcements we can provide that too - just get in touch for a quote.

Yes. We perform regularly in our hometown of York. Please get in touch to find out about upcoming dates.
