In 2016, following a public appeal by Forth 1 DJ Andy Bouglas (Boogie) for artist recommendations, Klones were selected alongside a handful of other acts to perform at the ‘Boogie Alene Marty Party of the Summer’. This event was held within the private gardens of Arlene Stuarts house. Following the performance Boogie and Arlene praised the band live on air and are quoted as saying: “if you need a function band, these are the guys to book”. Pricing policy
