How much time will the band need to set up their equipment?
“We always recommend to allow for 90 minutes to set up, although very often this can be completed in an hour if the performance area is clear, the space is easily accessible and the room acoustics is easy to manage.”
Does the band hold insurance and test their equipment for safety?
“The band has public liability insurance to the value of £10,000,000 and we renew our PAT certificate for equipment safety annually.”
Do we need to provide any equipment for the band?
“Not at all! We are completely self-contained and will bring all the required sound equipment (maximum of 350 guests) and lighting for the performance area and dance floor.”
Can we choose the songs that the band will play?
“You can choose a selection of 40 tracks from the bands repertoire but we ask that you allow us to organise the setlist based on your tastes and our experience of what will work best. We will include many of your choices but can’t guarantee to play them all.”
How long do the band perform at a function for?
“The standard performance time for the band is 2 hours, which can be organised into 2 or 3 sets with time for breaks in between. We recommend 2 x 60 minute sets as we find that once people get up to dance, they just don’t want to stop!”
How many people are in the band and what lines ups do you offer?
