Can we use your sound system for speeches?

Absolutely! just let us know the timings, but if we are set up and its in-between our sets, then it's not a problem.

How long do you play for?

We cater to whatever the needs of the event are, but we can perform 1 hour long set, 2 x 45 minute sets or 3 x 45 minute sets. We do ask to have at least a 15 minute break for every 45 minutes played.

How long do you take to set up?

wE'VE GOT IT DOWN TO AN ART FORM NOW, BUT WE STILL LIKE TO ALLOW AN HOUR TO FACTOR IN ANY POTENTIAL DELAYS AND TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND THAT WE WILL START ON THE STATED TIME.

How much space do you need?

WE SUGGEST FOR A 3 PIECE BAND - 2X2 METRES, 4 PIECE BAND - 2X3 METRES, 5 PIECE BAND - 3X4 METRES, 6-9 PIECE BAND - 4X4 METRES. These are all estimates and can usually make most situations work within reason.

Are you happy to perform outside?

WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PERFORM OUTSIDE BUT WILL NEED A ROOF/COVER AS WE ARE PERFORMING WITH ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT OUT WITH RAIN.

WILL YOU NEED REFRESHMENTS?

We will need soft drinks and water provided, whilst at longer events such as weddings will we need a hot meal provided for each member of the band.

How much do you charge?

Ah, the big question! Unfortunately it's impossible to give a generic answer to this as everyone's requirements are slightly different. We'd be happy to discuss this with you directly and provide a quote once we know a little more about your event.

What power supply do you need?

We'll need at least three to four standard plug sockets in very close proximity to the performance area. We will bring extension leads and multi-plug adapters as required. Sockets need to be on separate boards. This supply should not be shared with any one else or overloading may occur.

I can't see the answer to my question?

If you can't see the answer to your question or, if you have a specific request for your event then please feel free to contact us to discuss.
