Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Power Sockets are required - for amplification of keyboard and voice.

Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Sound - Yes, we do provide our own PA system (amplification).

Lighting – No, the group does not carry lighting as standard but a general colour wash can be provided at minimal cost.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide the venue's full address with post code plus the parking and entry point to the performance area, I.e. entering via the side door.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we can play recorded music (mp3) between the band sets. This music will be in a similar style to the band's own performance material.


How much space does the band require?

An average size would be 3 metres (width) x 2. m (depth), depending on the number of musicians playing.


Do you require power?

Yes. As a minimum, we require a power socket (preferably double)- standard 3 pin.


Do you perform acoustically, i.e. without power?

Not as standard. Although this is possible, it's really only viable in very small areas where the instruments can be heard up-close, and so the majority of our performances use some aspect of amplification. However, if you're after an intimate sound, then do contact us to discuss your request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What insurance cover do I receive for the booking and event?

As a professional outfit, the band is covered by Public Liability Insurance and Musician Union contracts are issued for each booking.

Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, we do perform outside but only if overhead cover is provided, i.e. gazeebo/marquee.
Power Sockets will be required in the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We have a set repertoire but are happy to add up to two new song requests where possible. If these are likely to involve us having to have an extra rehearsal, then we may have to charge an additional amount to cover out costs.


How long do you play for?

Our standard playing times are 2 x 50 minute sets.


Can I have longer sets or more music?

Yes. With prior discussion (pre contract), we're happy to add another set - or more - as required.
