 
We have played at
events and venues across the UK and internationally, both big and small. We
are very experienced with working with different venues and are
relatively low maintenance in terms of what we need which is basically
some electricity and enough space for the band (without drums this can
be relatively small and even with drums we can work in larger or smaller
spaces); we are happy to play outside but generally would need to be
under some kind of cover - playing under direct sunlight or rain both
has its own challenges! We are punctual and will not annoy anyone
with unnecessary or noisy soundchecks - we will also ensure that clients
are happy with the music and the sound levels.
A
recent example of an event was The American Museum's 50th lunchtime gala
which was attended
by the likes of Winston Churchill's daughter Lady Soames, Angela
Ahrendts the CEO of Burberry and Duran Duran's John Taylor. We played
music before and after lunch, put on some suitable MP3 music while
guests were eating and then our PA was used for the speeches (which
included a personal message read out on behalf of Barack Obama).
In October 2012 The
Hipcats were asked to provide a cool lounge duo at the new Bond movie
premiere, Skyfall. The guests were treated to canapés and
cocktails as the film finished whilst The Hipcats provided some suitably
smooth jazz. More information here on weddings
and events.
