The normal start time is between 8 pm and 8:30pm for evening dances.
We play two sets of approximately 50 and 60 minutes, with a break of
20-30 minutes, ending between 11:15 and 11:30pm.

Each event or function is treated individually and we try to accomodate all possible requirements.

The conventional configuration of a dance band is two tenor saxophones,
two alto saxophones, one baritone saxophone, three or four trumpets, two or three trombones and a rhythm section consisting of piano, bass, drums and guitar.

This combination of instruments gives a full big band tonal quality and coupled with great dance arrangements lead to a great evening of fun and enjoyment.
