Our Services

When booking Katchfraze you will get a dynamic and lively three piece band with a great full sound and professional performance including Lead Male and Lead Female Vocals, Three Part Harmonies Lead and Rhythm Guitars.  Using the latest computerized digital equipment we program our drum and effects sounds for a full authentic production of each song.

Katchfraze will perform a wide range of classic hits from the 60's to the present day - few bands are as versatile. All this delivered through a superb sound system complete with our own lighting rig.

Bookings are only considered confirmed when a signed booking form is returned.  The form can be found on our web site which you can fill in on-line by going to our Booking Form page. Cancellation fees apply - see cancellation fees below.

If required we can arrive early to set up before guests arrive - there may be an additional charge for this. If you have a specific song request for your first song we will endeavor to play it if given plenty of notice before the event.

We can provide disco music in our breaks so the music flows continuously throughout the event.  If you have a specific CD we can play it for you.

Our PA can be made available for speeches or other artists by prior arrangement.  We are here at your convenience to help you plan your event and our wide experience is at your disposal  - just call.
