All are performed to a very high standard, with great feeling, passion and a good helping of a\u2019 la Rascals\u2019 magic. &nbsp;One of the main criteria for including any song in the set list is:- \u201cCan you dance to it?\u201d This alone, has helped to make the Starving Rascals a truly great \u201cParty Band\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all five members of the band able to sing, one of the great strengths of the Rascals is their ability to create a full and harmonious vocal sound, which is often lacking with live bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s great music and atmosphere you crave \u2026. if you want to dance all night or just tap your feet to the beat \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 you\u2019ll be hard pushed to find a better band than The Starving Rascals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
