We require a suitable sized performance space that can accommodate our PA system (including subwoofers) and up to three band members (depending which band option is booked).

We require at least 2x13 amp power sockets, but preferably 4 or more.
If we're to perform outside, we require ample cover or shade for potential rain or hot weather.
We require 3 vehicles parking spaces for the band members' vehicles.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

The Good Citizens provide all their own sound & lighting equipment, PAT tested & Public Liability Insured.


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

We can offer a DJ service add on. This will typically cover ~4 hours for the evening wedding reception. DJ music would be played before our first set (if required), during our break and after our second set to see out the rest of the night (usually no later than 12am finish).

Are you happy to perform outside?

We're happy to perform outside, and have done for many previous events.
We'd require ample cover or shade for potential rain or hot weather, an outdoor power supply close-by and a flat, level surface if drums & equipment is to be set up there.


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

We can offer to add on a special request song (e.g. first dance or father-daughter dance) free of charge.
We have a setlist that we've refined over the years to work well for a variety of guests at weddings & events however clients are welcome to choose to switch any songs out for those on our extras list.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers often describe us as "bringing incredible energy" throughout the evening, a band with a "unique sound", the "genius use of the megaphone" and being "blown away" by our setlists/performances.
