We always encourage clients to let us know a rough idea of their budget. This really helps us to focus on finding the right musician for your event.
How long do the solo & duo musicians play for?
Typically solo or duo musicians base their prices on 2 hours of live music. Clients can split this into 2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute sets, according to their preference.
Can I choose every song they play on the night?
Each act has their own (often extensive) repertoire. It is not recommended to choose every song they play – there really is a knack to creating a playlist that encourages audience participation.
However, input into what the musicians play is encouraged. We ask you to highlight your favourite songs and let us know any particular songs they should avoid. They can then cater their performance to your individual music preferences.
What sets you apart from other music agencies?
We stay with you from the initial booking right through to the event. We communicate with the musicians on your behalf, liaise with the venue and provide documentation required as well as assisting you with an itinerary. Our music agency is with you every step of the way.

It is natural to feel overwhelmed looking for musicians to hire, especially if you have never done this before. We can help.
Please get in touch with us and let us know just a few details such as event date, type of event, expected amount of guests, budget and we can go from there.
