Here are some frequently asked questions. If you can't get an answer here then please get in contact with us...

 

  • Can we come and see you play?  As we mainly play private closed events it is difficult to see us play live. However we do sometimes play public dates and we do hold open rehearsals where you can come and see us play and have a chat. Please 'like' us on Facebook above or follow us on Twitter to hear about our open rehearsals!

 

  • We have seen a cheaper three piece band, what's different?   A three piece band will not be able to play as many different styles of songs as a four piece band - especially one with keyboards. Listen to 'Wonderwall' with no strings, or 'Skyfull of Stars' with no piano?! Most three piece bands will play to some kind of backing track, we are fully live!

 

  • What happens between your sets? We have pre-mixed playlists full of popular songs that keep the party going. Our Imperial package offers a full DJ service with a separate DJ to take requests etc.

 

  • What time do you arrive/end? We usually arrive at 6pm and you've got us until midnight. Earlier & later times are available but there will be a small charge for this.

 

  • What times do you play? We will work closely with you to find the best times for your event. In general we arrive at 6pm to setup and soundcheck. This takes around an hour, then the DJ mix will take care of everything until the band starts. Again set times vary and we will work with you to find out the best set times for your event. We generally finish playing live music around midnight with our DJ mix taking over if your event continues later. Just ask and we can help you find the best times for your special event!

 

  • Our venue is quite small....will you fit?  Having played venues that hold everything from 30 -1000 guests we can fit in most venues, we've even played in someones lounge! Plus because we only use one PA everything is very professional and neat.

 

  • Can we choose songs from your setlist? Absolutley! We love making our setlists personal to you. We still need some input too though, to help with set-flow and keys of songs etc. You can see an example setlist here.

 

  • Will the band take requests?  We love to create setlist based on your choices from our songlist, especially for weddings and parties! And of course we love to learn your special first dance or your favourite song so long as it works for a four piece live band.

 

  • Do you have insurance and are you PAT tested? Most venues request both insurance and PAT tested equipment. We hold public liability insurance and we are fully PAT tested. Please just ask us if your venue requires these documents.

 

  • How do we book you? Just send us a message via email, contact form or phone to find out our availability. Then we ask for a small deposit (non refunable) and we exchange signed contracts. You can read our T & C'S here.

      If you cannot find your question here then please get in contact with us. We look forward to hearing from you!

 

Well...what can we say....AMAZING!!! From start to finish the dance floor was never empty! Our guests absolutely loved the music played and how the guys got everybody engaged and bouncing around! Our Irish guests were certainly loving it...I think the band definitely noticed this! Thank you so so much for topping off an amazing day with an awesome evening of quality music. James has been fantastic with booking, conversations and general advice. If there’s one thing you do for your wedding...book The Spectrum! X The Finnerty's - Pinewood Studios
