How
do I choose the right venue?
If it's your favourite local restaurant or a room
above a pub, assess the practicality for your event.. Try to imagine
how things will look on the night.. Is there a stage and a dance floor?
(or suitable space) Is there a separate area (or other room) for a buffet?...
Avoid
venues with difficult parking, poor access or lots of stairs.. as with
any band there is always a lot of heavy equipment to carry. Rooms with
low ceilings or alcoves create harsh acoustics which can be quite wearing
on the ears!... the last thing you want is to see your guests leaving
early!
How
much space do you need?
The stage equipment needs a minimum area of 3m
wide by 2m deep (approx. 10' x 7') there will also be large PA speakers
and lighting stands positioned either side.
How
long do you play for?
A typical show would involve 2 x 45 minute performances or one longer
dance set of approximately 60-70 minutes. Much depends on the nature
of the event.
Can
I hear a demo?
Yes, click on the link 'songs & samples' in the menu above, the
player should start automatically, please contact me if you experience
any problems.
Do
you provide background music?
Background music is included and carefully selected to match the progressive
mood of the evening from the time your guests begin to arrive and during
breaks.
How
far do you travel?
Anywhere within mainland UK.
How
long do you take to set up?
In an easily accessible venue up to one hour (normally around 45 mins).
Do
you have any special requirements?
After a long journey followed by several hours waiting to perform it
is essential to have a comfortable room in which to prepare, change
and relax. This should be private and secure with a table and seating
for at least two people, an electric point would also be useful.
