How far in advance should we book?
The further in advance you book the better chance you have of securing the act you want as they are all professionals and may get booked for other gigs. We do however take last minute bookings.
We can’t find exactly what we want on the site, can you recommend any other bands/acts/musicians to us?
Having worked in the business for over 20 years I’ve been fortunate enough to meet lots of other acts/musicians not featured on the site. Any of the bands on the site can be customized to larger or smaller outfits and any other act you can think of but can’t see on the site from bagpipes to a 22 piece big band let us know and we will endeavor to help you.
Can we request songs?
Our clients are welcome to make as many requests as they wish (in advance) from set list, and we will endeavour to accommodate as many of these as possible. We accept first dance requests regardless of whether or not the song you would like is on our set list already, but we normally require at least 4 weeks to learn it.
Does there need to be car parking?
Yes this should be made available, preferably near the entrance of the gig for ease of unloading equipment. Any parking costs incurred would need to be reimbursed in cash in addition to the band’s fee.
Do the band need a changing room?
Yes the band normally do need somewhere to put their equipment and get changed.
Do we need to feed the band?
Generally yes a hot meal is required.
Can the band cancel?
No. The contract which would be signed by us as well as you is a legally-binding document that guarantees that we will provide what you have booked. If a musician is taken ill, or pulls out for another reason such as a family emergency, we will hire a suitable replacement so that the performance can go ahead unaffected. Any additional costs for this would be covered by us.
What happens if we cancel?

Any cancellations made less than 24 hours after Confirmation and more than 7 days before event will be fully refunded to you the client.
What happens if one of the band members can't perform?
Due to illness, or clashing schedules, we can’t 100% guarantee that all the musicians that play on the night are those featured on the various bands videos though it’s more than likely. If a vocalist or band member can’t make the gig we guarantee that they will be replaced from a pool of the industries best quality musicians.
