  We offer most popular stuff, we cover the likes of the Rat Pack, Buble', Elvis through to more modern stuff. Let us know what you are looking for and we will be only too happy to advise you.

• Is it possible to request something that's not in the repertoire?

  Yes, of course. Any booking is about you as the customer, not about us. Therefore we will do everything we can to cover our requests (obviously depends on the song and whether it fits our vocal range of course)

• Do you do open-air acts?

  Yes, we have done several open air gigs. If there is no easy access to power we can happily provide a generator which would be an additional cost.

• How long is the act?

• How do we pay you?

  If we are booked by you one month or more in advance then we would ask for a deposit, paid through PopTop. You can then either pay the balance on the night or by paypal prior to the event starting (this can be 5 mins before :-) ) We do not accept cheques.

• Is there anywhere you would not perform?

  Not really, however the safety of our performer and the safety of your guests / attendees is our top priority. If we feel there are any safety concerns around the location we would advise you of this in advance.

• How do we discuss our requirements with you?

  Simple, initially we will talk via email to secure the booking and answer any preliminary questions, then if you want to go through specific things we can either talk via phone, skype or can arrange to meet face to face. Making sure your expectations are met is of high importance to us.

• Do you do singing telegram type entertainment?

  Simply put, no sorry this is not something we participate in.

• I am a pub / club, do you offer a discount for businesses?

  Yes, we offer discounts for pubs and clubs as well as for charity gigs. If you book us as a regular act (more than 4 per annum) we will offer you a generous discount for this. If you book us for your Christmas nights, again we will agree a suitable discount in advance with you.

• Are there any geographical limitations for you?

  Not really, we are happy to travel to any location to perform. The only issues could be getting our equipment to your location. For overseas it would be making sure that any equipment is suitable for the current provided in that location. There would be travel and accommodation costs associated in some instances.
