Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What information does the band need in order to quote?
As a minimum the band would ideally like the following information in order to quote: Date, venue, approximate timings, any special requirements you may have (e.g. first dance).
How do I book the band?
Once the arrangements have been confirmed and you have decided to proceed with the booking, a contract will be prepared and two copies sent to you. Please sign and return one copy in the SAE provided. We ask for a deposit of 20% via cheque at the time of signing the contract, for which a receipt shall be given. The remaining balance would be payable in cash on the day of the event.
How long do you play for?
We usually perform 2 x 1 hour sets, but this is flexible. We do advise against having a buffet opened or meal served whilst the band is performing. This generally has the effect of interrupting the flow and continuity of the event.
How much time to do you need to set-up, sound check, and de-rig?
A comfortable set-up and sound check time is 1.5 hours, depending on the venue, its access, and the nature of the event. The full-band sound check itself usually takes no longer than 5-10 minutes. De-rig time is usually around 45 minutes, again depending on the venue. When not performing, the band will be as discreet as possible throughout the event.
How much room to do you need to setup?
The minimum space we can fit into is 16ft x 8ft, though we do prefer a larger area if possible.
Can you supply background music?
If you are not intending to hire a separate disco to run in conjunction with the band, also included within our fee is the use of our PA & lighting rig. We do not offer a DJ service as such, but would play background music which is in keeping with our style. If you would prefer us to play your own music we are very happy to do so. Many clients bring their own iPod’s, laptops etc. We would run the equipment, so all you need do is relax and enjoy yourself!
Are the band willing to travel?
Yes, we have performed at a variety of different venues across Wales and the UK.
Does the band have Entertainer’s Liability Insurance?
We are fully insured. A copy of our policy may be viewed upon request.
