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.
Can you play in a wedding venue with sound restrictions?
Yes. We have a lot of experience at playing in venues with sound restrictions. We can use electronic drums and ampless setups as required.
How long will it take you to set up?
Depending on the venue it takes us 60-90 minutes to set up. On average we're set up in around an hour.

Our standard package includes up to two hours of live music. We can arrange that to suit your schedule. Typically we will play 2x60 or 3x40 minute sets.
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.
Can we see you play before we book you?
Yes. We perform regularly in our hometown of York. Please get in touch to find out about upcoming dates.
