What we do
Music first, then everything that has to be right for the music to land. Six services, and we own the equipment for all of them.
The whole list
Six things, and we own the equipment for all of them
Nothing here is sub-contracted to a company you have never spoken to. If it appears on your quote, it arrives on one of our trucks with one of our crew beside it.
The house band
Eleven players, two vocalists, a four-piece horn section and a book of four hundred songs.
Highlife, Afrobeats, gospel, jazz standards and the two songs we learn for you. Available as a trio, a five, a seven or the full eleven — and we will tell you which one your room can actually take.
Drummers & cultural ensemble
Kete, adowa and fontomfrom, played by people who grew up with them rather than learned them for a job.
For durbars, funerals, chieftaincy occasions, engagement ceremonies and the arrival of anyone who should be announced properly. Six to fourteen players, with dancers if you want them.
Sound & stage
Our own PA, monitors, desk, cabling and staging, with Nii on it from load-in to load-out.
Sized to the room rather than to the invoice — a 400-guest marquee and a 90-guest dining room need different systems, and putting the larger one in the smaller room is how a night gets loud instead of good.
Lighting & staging
Warm, low and aimed at the room the guests are standing in.
Uplighting, stage wash, a rig if the space takes one, and enough restraint to leave the dinner tables readable. We light the people, not the ceiling.
DJ & MC
The person who holds the night together and the one who knows how to end it.
Our DJ takes the floor from the band's last song through to close, usually with a percussionist over the top. The MC works from your running order and not from a script of their own.
Full production
One number to ring, one person at the back of the room, one invoice at the end.
Suppliers, schedule, power, permits and the difficult conversation with the venue about load-in times. For weddings over 250, festivals and anything running across more than one stage.
The running order
Everything a night needs, in the order it needs it.
Guests arrive
6:30 PM
Strings & highlife
A trio in the courtyard while the room fills — quiet enough that nobody has to raise their voice to say hello.
The main set
8:30 PM
The full house band
Eleven players, two vocalists and the horn section people actually book us for. Ninety minutes, no gap, no laptop.
Late floor
11:00 PM
DJ & percussion
Our DJ takes the room through to two, with a drummer playing live over the top of it. It is the part guests remember.
Every one of these can be booked on its own. Most people start with the band and add the rest once they have seen what their venue's house system actually sounds like.

Years
On Ghana's stages since 2009
Live music
The house band, a trio or a soloist. Every set rehearsed for your room rather than pulled off a shelf.
Sound & stage
Our own PA, monitors, desk and staging. No hired rig, no engineer meeting the room for the first time at six o'clock.
Lighting
Warm, low and designed for the room the guests are standing in rather than for the photographs afterwards.
DJ & MC
The person who holds a night together and the one who knows how to end it. Both of them ours, both of them briefed.
Ways to book
Two ways to put us in your room
Whichever you choose, we rehearse for your night — not for ours.
The house band
Eleven players and a book of four hundred songs — highlife, Afrobeats, jazz standards and whatever your first dance turns out to be. Priced by the set, with the rehearsal already in it.
See what a set costs
Full production
Sound, lighting, staging and crew, with our band or with yours. One number to ring on the night and one person standing at the back of the room watching the whole thing.
See what we bringAsked often
Three things people ring to ask
Do we need to hire sound separately?
No, and we would rather you did not. Our PA, monitors, desk and engineer come with the band. If your venue insists on its own house system, we will still send Nii to run it.
Can we have fewer than eleven players?
Yes. The house band is eleven, but a trio, a five-piece and a seven-piece are all part of the same book. We will tell you honestly which one your room can take before you pay for the larger one.
Do you travel outside Accra?
Regularly — Kumasi, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Ho, and Aburi more often than you would think. Travel, transport and crew accommodation are quoted as a single line rather than added afterwards.
Tell us about the night
The date, the room and roughly how many people. We will come back with what we would put in it and what it costs — in cedis, on one page.
