For bookings at large events (Such as Doltone House) we provide a duo with Lara and/or Greg followed by a Four Piece with our Drummer playing Congas (chilled/Funky dinner music) followed by the full band for the dance sets. This works really well and clients feel like they get 3 acts for the price of one. It also allows the entertainment to build as the night does.
