Q: What are the power requirements for the band?
A: The PA and backline can run off a 20amp 240v spur (for marquees and generators) or a normal 13amp ring main at indoor venues. The lighting rig requires a 30 amp 240vspur (for marquees and generators) or 2 x 13amp sockets for indoor venues. Power to marquees must be provided by the marquee company with the correct cable and plug specifications according to regulations. See your marquee provider. The Band cannot run off of garden extension cables running through a kitchen windows etc. The PA speakers must have a dry flat surface to stand on seperate from the stage preferebly the floor. For safety reasons, the speakers MUST NOT be on the stage with the band or on temporary dance floors. Check with your venue, Marquee company.
Q: How much space do the band need?
A: The minimum stage space we require is 4 metres deep by 6 metres wide. N.B. The more space we have, the better the show we can put on for you and your guest's.
Q: How long do the band need to set up?
A On average, we need between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 mins. That is providing we have direct access to the stage area, preferably with enough space for 4 vehicles.
Q: How long do the band play for?
A: We play for a total of 2 hours (1 x 45 minute set and 1 x 1 hour 15 minute set). When we are not playing, we can provide CD music through the sound system to keep the party atmosphere going. We generally finish the last set by midnight followed by 30 mins of CD music during pack-down.
Q Do the band need a dressing room?
A Yes! We will need a room or a designated area to change into our stage costumes.Toilets and car parks are not the most desirable of dressing rooms (particularly during the winter months!)
Q Do the chefs in the band need feeding?
A Mmmmmm..... Yum! Yes please! If we are required to arrive and set up before 7pm. Food and soft drinks for 8 will be required or access to the buffet, etc, mainly to stop the band members from passing out during the performance!!
