Repertoire List

We have a large & varied repertoire to suit many types of audience & function.
We can always play chilled or upbeat renditions of many classics. Although we do not recommend that our clients take total control of which songs we play, we usually ask to pick some of their favorites from our repertoire list. We will then base our sets around that. We find this has worked best with our previous clients.
