DOES THE BAND PERFORM AT A LOUD VOLUME?

Absolutely not – we perform at a comfortable listening level so that if people want to chat they can do so in comfort. If you think the volume is too loud on the night please approach the band and ask us to turn down the volume. We won’t be offended. The very last thing we want to hear at the end of the night is that we were too loud.
