We ‘joined forces’ after being commissioned to co-produce and perform in various themed shows and musical projects for a large North West travel company. We now perform around 40 of these shows each year throughout the UK. These events have included Music Hall, Broadway. 1920's, 1940’s, 1960’s, Beatles, Carpenters, Burt Bacharach and an Abba show. 
 

Our current contracts include ‘residencies’ at 2-Michelin Star restaurant Moor Hall, Warner Leisure Hotels, The Chester Grosvenor Hotel, Wigan Athletic Football Club, Greatdays Travel Group, Southport Flower Show, Royal Birkdale Golf Club, The Allotment Bar, The Fox and Hounds at Sproston and Haydock Racecourse and Chester Racecourse. In addition, we regularly provide entertainment at the many prestigious golf clubs, hotels and restaurants throughout the North West region as well as previously performing to One Direction star, Harry Styles and also Belgium's football manager, Roberto Martinez.
 

In most cases, the songs in Incahoots Repertoire can be performed either as just piano/vocal arrangements, or as more familiar ‘full’ versions depending on the mood you wish to create (i.e. Piano Bar/Lounge or Cabaret). In addition, specific songs of your choice can be requested and included as part of your event (for example, the ‘first dance’ at a wedding ceremony). We can also offer a DJ and Disco service if required (for a small additional cost). 

"Incahoots have played our functions many times. They are always very popular with our guests. They play music to suit all ages brackets" - Linda Schofield, Royal Birkdale Golf Club
