Frequently Asked Questions

Hopefully we've answered most of your questions here, but, if not, just get in touch!

Do you have different line-up options?

We certainly do!

Our core line-up is as a duo: Dave Bailey on guitar, keyboards and vocals and Steve Gibbs on guitar and vocals.

Next option is a trio: we can call on the services of numerous talented female singers to join us. Having a female voice in the mix really elevates the group's sound to a whole different level - and they're all easier on the eye than us!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before, between and after your sets?

If required, we can play a selection of suitable music before/in-between/after our sets. Alternatively, if you have a laptop/Ipod/tablet etc.with songs you would like played we can use this, just let us know when you place your booking. There is obviously an extra charge for this if it means we have to be present at the venue for a longer period of time.

How much time do you need to set up?

Usually we require around an hour to set up all of our equipment and perform a sound check to make sure everything is working as expected. This is based on good, straightforward access to the performance area. We then require around 15-20 minutes to get changed and ready for the performance.

Do you need a parking space?

Even though there is usually just the two of us, we have a great deal of equipment to unload from our vehicle, carry into the venue and get set up.  So yes, we need at least one parking space, and it needs to be as close to the venue entrance (or stage door, if there is one) as possible.

Can you roam around while you perform?

We can perform acoustically (with just acoustic guitars and no microphones) if required. We also have a battery powered PA system, so we can be very mobile and still be heard within a church or a garden. However, for you and your guests to get the full benefit of our performance, we need to use a stage area with our full PA system and other equipment.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Absolutely, though we're confident that the set lists we have evolved over years of performing will please just about everyone. We can do 60s-themed, 70s-themed or 80s themed sets too, if you'd like.
If there are numbers in our Play List you'd definitely like us to perform (and any you'd rather we didn't!) just let us know - we want you to enjoy what we play!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We'd be delighted to discuss adding a few numbers of your choice.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, all we need from you is a suitable mains electricity supply and a performance area at least 4 metres by 2 metres - and ideally twice that size! As mentioned above, we also have a smaller battery-powered PA that is ideal for those occasions when speed of set up and tear down is crucial (i.e in a church) or when there is no access to mains electricity.

Is your equipment PAT Tested?

All of our electrical equipment is regularly PAT tested and inspected to ensure it is safe to use. We have also carried out formal Risk Assessments for every type of gig.

Do You have Public Liability Insurance?

Yes we do, we're covered for any Public Liability Incidents to the value of a million pounds!
