Frequently Asked Questions
Savoy Truffle, which means »truffle from Savoy«, is a song from the so called »White Album« of the Beatles, the best album in history of history itself (unless of course you take the latest Savoy Truffle CD into account).
We're not only intending to be as famous as The Beatles, but we also want to make the same kind of unique, colorful and interesting music.
Take a look at our concert calendar.
Unfortunately, there are no copies of »¿Dónde está la piscina?« and »Chicas & Pigs« left. Here, you can download the cover and the songs, so you have a nice little DIY-set.
With »Bar de Luismi« it’s different: a charming smile might get you one of the few copies left … ;-)
If you have enough money to spend: sure… :-)
But there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- Even if you love our music – are you sure that your guests will feel the same? It’s just that our music is not what you would usually expect at a wedding.
- Our CDs can be played at any volume you choose – but with our live concerts it’s a bit different. If we are rocking, you will not be able to enjoy much of any conversation.
- We will not play »I Just Called to Say I Love You«, nor will we play »When a Man Loves a Woman« or »You Are So Beautiful« and ... no, even with guns pointed at our heads, we will not play any song that involves Leonardo DiCaprio and icebergs. Our programme actually consists of songs by only one artist, and that’s Savoy Truffle.
This won’t keep you from hiring us? Well then just click “Booking/Contact” but don’t you say we haven’t warned you … :-)

To ask it the way round: why are other bands not using a cello?
»¿Dónde está la piscina?« means sort of »Where's the swimming pool?«.
Simply listen to Chiqui pronouncing it for you (QuickTime required):
»¿Dónde está la piscina?« is a road movie by Spanish underground director Juan Fernando Ahmed González. It's about two wrecked guys who are driving an old Cadillac across the southern US states and it's about a beautiful Mexican girl as well -- Coming soon to a theatre near you!
You'll find the answer here.
Yes, they're even twins. But they were separated at birth and found each other in 1995 at Savoy Truffle by accident.
