Our booking contracts usually specify the band's requirements as follows:
Sufficient space for the band to set up - approximately 18’ x 8’ (5x3m) for the 9-piece band, and less for the jazz band combinations
Two standard domestic 13A power sockets close to the performance space (not a four-way extension lead as this will not provide enough power for the lighting and PA equipment)
An area to store instrument cases and to get changed in privacy;
Appropriate set-up time before the event starts (n.b. not usually more than three hours before the performance start time);
Soft drinks throughout the event, and at evening events a hot meal or buffet for each band member (and sound engineer, if provided);
Three parking spaces within reasonable distance of the performance space;
Suitable protection against sun and rain if playing outdoors.
If any of these requirements are not possible, it isn't necessarily a problem - but please let us know before confirming the booking.
Please be aware that, on occasion, the band use deputy players (in case of illness, unavailability etc). Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the musicians performing at the event will be those who have performed on our demo recordings.
It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the band’s repertoire and style of music is suitable for the event, using the demo tracks, videos and repertoire lists provided on our website.
