Repertoire

We have an extensive repertoire of songs which are shown on a separate page.

The following lists give a few examples of our repertoire. 

If your favourite songs are not on the list please ask, we've probably played them many times before!

Interval Music

We normally play a three hour programme, typically comprising three 45 minute sets, with two intervals.

The music, sets and intervals can be tailored to fit in with the programme of your event.

When we are not performing on stage, we have a range of CDs which we can use to provide interval music if required.

Other programmes can be provided to suit your needs - please ask!
