We have an extensive repertoire of songs. You are more than welcome to pick your favourites from our song list. Experienced bands know what songs to play and when to play them. We often change our sets based on your audience, the vibe of the night and requests. If there is a special song that is not on our list, in most cases we can learn it for you. We can also play songs of your choice during our breaks.
