We've heard lots of stories of people booking local bands and discos for unbelievably cheap prices and paying the price through no-shows and poor performances! We are priced at reasonable rates and offer the guarantee of a legal contract which clearly sets out everyones' obligations.
Please remember we play disco, funk, pop, soul and some dance classics. So maybe if you are after a pure rock band, a top 40s band or loads of indie songs maybe we won't be the best choice for your event.
