Hallo – Happy New Year!
We are delighted to announce that we will be performing our next live showcase at Arta, Glasgow, on Thursday 25th February starting at 7.30pm!
This is a great chance to come and hear us play some fantastic music, meet the quartet and ask us any questions you might have. The entire programme is picked by YOU to help you chose the perfect soundtrack to your day, so please send us all your requests by no later than Sunday the 21st February to ensure they are included on the night.
Our showcases are open to both our clients and the general public, so why not come and enjoy a cocktail while listening to our eclectic and vibrant mix of music absolutely FREE!
Also perfroming will be our 2nd group of players, for those who have booked our 2nd quartet. This is the ideal opportunity to come and meet the quartet that will be playing at your event, as well as hear them perform live.
We will be joined on the night by 2 singers that we work with regularly, Gail Ritchie and Barry MacAleer, who will each be performing a song with us. Gail, a jazz, pop and blues vocalist, and Barry, a classically trained singer, will add a spine-tingling touch to your evening, and will be available for bookings on the night.
Doors will be open from 7pm, so please feel free to come early to ensure you get a drink and a seat!
