Answers |
| How long can you play for? |
Either two sets of 60 mins or three sets of 40 mins (+ encores). |
| |
|
| How much do you charge? |
It depends on the event and how far we have to travel - every event is different so we charge accordingly to suit. We will give you a firm quote with no hidden extras at the time of your enquiry. Remember the golden rule - you get what you pay for! |
| |
|
| Can you do special requests? |
Yes - but please let us know in plenty of time to allow us to learn the song properly. If anyone has a special request on the night, please ask us - if we can play it, we will willingly. |
| |
|
| What type of events can you play at? |
Anything you can name... |
| |
|
| Will you be smart? |
We always dress according to the occasion. Weddings are typically evening dresses and suits and parties would be smart casual. |
| |
|
| Are you too loud? |
No - we adjust the sound levels to suit the venue and the audience. Please bear in mind that a live band will not be as quiet as listening to the radio at home! If you have any concerns, please speak to the bandleader. |
| |
|
| Is a live band better than a disco? |
We think so! A live band can read the audience and react with changes in pace and feeling instantly and is usually better suited to a wider audience age range. A common complaint of discos is that they play for the younger element in the audience and are way too loud! |
| |
|
| Do we need to feed you? |
This is at the discretion of the client. All we ask is that you let us know so that we can make suitable arrangements. After all, a fed and watered band is a very happy band! We never drink alcohol while we're performing by the way. |
| |
|
| Will we need to provide you with anything else? |
You will need to remind your venue organiser of the need to provide a secure room at the disposal of the band to change and leave personal belongings. |
| |
|
| Can you provide music during your breaks? |
Yes - we have a CD and MP3 player built into our PA system. |
| |
|
| How much space do you need? |
Ideally 3m x 4m - but we've been known to squeeze into much tighter spaces! |
| |
|
| How long does it take you to set up? |
About 90 minutes - that's to allow a decent sound check as well as humping all the gear into the venue. |
| |
|
| How long does it take you to pack down? |
About 45 minutes |
| |
|
| Are you insured? |
Yes - public liability insurance for £2m per venue. |
| |
|
| Is your equipment PAT tested? |
Yes - to meet the requirements of any venue. |
