SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...ANSWERED...
The Velvets usually play a two and half hour set, with a 15 min break in the middle. This will often coincide with evening supper at the Venue. Our drinks reception Trio plays for 2 hours.
We always keep our music at a level that can be enjoyed by all, even in more intimate venues, your guests will not be forced out of the room by volume.
We have our own top quality sound and lighting equipment, all we need at the venue is a power socket!
We can be ready to play in about 30mins. Many venues need to “turn around” the room after dinner, and we can set up while this is happening or as soon as the band area/stage is cleared.
Drop us a mail to check availability. You can reserve your date by email/phone and we take a booking deposit by cheque or bank transfer to confirm, please see bookings section for full details.

A First Dance together as Husband and Wife is a lovely and important tradition! We will be happy to play any song you may have in mind, or we can suggest some popular ones if you like. We can play a special recording through our sound system if you prefer. The First dance is also a great way of getting everyone focused on the dancefloor and getting the party started!
