About
Renowned for our 3 part harmonies and close attention to detail, we’re a high energy band and fully live band (no backing tracks) who lean hard on our instruments and vocals to do justice to the tracks we cover, whilst also adding our own personal flair to keep things modern!
We perform a wide range of material from artists such as the Kinks, Tom Jones, Harry Styles, Simple Minds, Frankie Valli, Duo Lipa, Beatles, covering decades & genres from modern pop hits all the way back through to the rock and roll classics of the 50’s and 60’s. Our eclectic setlist has never let us down and has always led to a full and happy dance-floor with something for everyone!!
We are here to make everything as easy as possible for you, and to ensure the day is bespoke for YOU and how you want it. You will speak directly to the band so there will be a clear plan!
