This is completely up to you and your schedule on the day. For evening events, we find it's often best to start the band at around 8:30/9pm but this is purely a guide. For weddings, We will work with your wedding planner and be ready for the reception once the speeches have ended.

Country music is only a small part of our performance, and we understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea. However, if you're not a fan of country music, don't worry - we've got you covered.

Yes, we've created a Spotify Playlist with a comprehensive list of all the songs we've played or are currently playing at OK!FUN! We've carefully curated this playlist to showcase our versatility and range, so you can get a better sense of what we can offer. We encourage you to have a listen and enjoy! However, please keep in mind that most of our evening performances consist of medleys, where we seamlessly blend different songs together. As a result, not all songs are played from start to finish.
