Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We require a space of roughly 3m x 3m. No sockets required, as we are entirely acoustic. A parking space is preferred, but not essential.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

No, we are entirely acoustic. If you require amplification, this would need to be arranged with the venue.


What information do you require about a venue?

We just need to know where the venue is. Our equipment is small enough to get through any regular door.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Unfortunately, this is not something we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Recent memorable bookings include a wedding at Goodwood House, a corporate booking at the Mansion House and backing music for a music-hall song on a cemetery tour. We love the variety!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

It’s impossible to say. We play music from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven through to Taylor Swift, Oasis, the Beatles and innumerable others. We enjoy the variety that comes from playing music from a huge variety of genres.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Initially meeting while playing in orchestras, we found that we got on very well and love the more intimate musical surroundings of a smaller ensemble. There’s nothing better than working with good friends, especially when they are also excellent musicians!


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love to play at all sorts of events. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding, or the pleasure of providing a little music to brighten someone’s arrival at work when playing in the lobby of one of London’s office buildings, we love to entertain.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup is usually under 15 minutes.
Sets are 50 minutes per hour.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are very happy to play outside. There is no need for a power supply, but we do require shade for the sake of the instruments.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn any songs required, but do ask that the client covers the cost of the sheet music.
In terms of set-lists, we are happy to work with the client to make this perfect. We can either choose the music ourselves, work to a “style-guide” ie “Classical only” or “Pop and Rock but avoid Ed Sheeran” but are also very happy for the client to choose songs from our set-lists so we play only those which have been chosen.
