Our performances

-
In larger venues we use microphones.

Our repertoire is made up of songs that have been in the charts from the 60s onwards.

We encourage our audiences to join in if they wish.

We also like our audiences to dance - this has happened on many occasions!

All our words, melodies and harmonies are memorised.
