An exceptionally good value, yet highly experienced covers band based in Manchester and specialising in exciting, high energy versions of classic funk, soul and disco dance hits.
The band is made up of 5 multitalented musicians with music college and classical training backgrounds between them, but most importantly having a tenacious desire to recreate the original unique qualities of each song they cover.
Ideal for events of any size from small parties to weddings, hotel events, formal or informal. The band will dress appropriately, before and during the performance to suit your requirements, whether it be casual, funky or black tie.
The band do not use backing tracks or pre-recorded parts.
The great full sound this band manages to achieve with just five members is enhanced by the use of footpedals to trigger classic disco handclaps and other similar effects. The keyboard player has limitless talent for being able to split string/piano/brass sounds across different areas of her keyboard and play them simultaneously to emulate brass and string section parts alongside piano, and the guitarist's extensive collection of gadgets helps fill in any remaining gaps. Remember - Every part you hear on the demo on this site is actually reproduced live.
Use of PA for speeches/Disco/Background Music
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The band’s PA can be used to play music sourced from a laptop or your own favourite gadget (IPod, MP3 player etc) during breaks or before the band plays. You’re also welcome to use the PA to make announcements and speeches. Included in the basic fee, the band can provide all recorded dance music from their own laptop containing thousands of hits from the last 6 decades if required.
Your Choice of Song
----------------------------
This band will perform any song you like! Given at least a month's advance notice before an event the band will learn and play an additional song of your choice. This could for instance be a ballad (not normally included in the band’s repertoire) for the ‘first dance’ at a wedding.
Extras:
-------
In addition to the live act, the band can also provide an experienced DJ, spinning the solid sounds of the 60s and 70s club scene; Stax, Motown, Northern Soul, Funk and Disco, all on vinyl.
Additional, more subtle live music can be performed by members of the band during the welcome drinks or meal phase of an event. This would comprise classical/cocktail piano/guitar with some easy listening female vocal mixed in. Some requests may be possible to satisfy if the piano music can be provided, or advance warning is given of any specific music required.
Line Up:
--------
Lead Vocalist (Female)
Electric Bassist and Vocalist (Male)
Electric Guitarist and Backing Vocalist (Male)
Keyboards (Female)

John and Taline (Groom and Bride) We had an amazing wedding and they provided the spectacular zenith of our day! Wow, they rocked. No let-up, tight, powerful, unpretentious, professional, knock-’em-dead cool funky non-stop bring the house down grooves, and then some. A masterpiece package of bums-off-seats, breathless floorboard-cracking joy! Wicked!
Dave Hopley Glad you enjoyed the gig. Just to say a huge thank you, you were awesome and went down really well, creating an excellent party mood before Pegasus Bridge.

Hi Guys,
thanks for a great performance last Friday night. The venue was packed all night and the standard of music was as good as any act I've booked over the last 15 years. Looking forward to booking you again this Summer.
All the best Danny
