Do you offer any optional extras? If so, what are they and why should people book them?

Which song is your favourite to perform?
“‘Angels’ by Robbie Williams as it’s great watching the crowd get involved.”
Which is the song you can always rely on to fill the dance floor?
“‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers, always.”
Top requested song?
“‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers again haha”
Top choice for a first dance song?

Favourite sing a long song?
“‘Come on Eileen’ by Dexys Midnight Runners gets the dance floor shaking!”
What inspired you to be musicians?
“Our love of performing and making that our full time job.”

“Our singer was once set upon by an absolutely enormous moth! Luckily no person or animal ended up being harmed in any way haha.”
If you weren’t musicians, what would you be doing?
“Greg loved gymnastics as a child so may well have gone down that route! If Luke wasn’t a singer himself he would likely be a vocal coach. Dai would probably explore his passion for martial arts in one way or another. Trev would likely play or coach hockey.”
