Please note: these are the general questions I’m most commonly asked. For performance fee information or anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Q: What time will the musician/s arrive?
A: I/we will usually arrive and set up an hour and half before the performance start time. If you require us to set up earlier in the day, please call to discuss.

Q: How long does it take the musician/s to set-up?
A: Depending on the number of musicians involved, usually around an hour.

Q: How long will the band play for, and how long are the intervals?
A: The length of the performance depends upon your requirements on the day. Intervals are usually ten minutes long but can be longer or shorter depending upon your requirements.

Q: Will the musician/s require refreshments?
A: I/we would be grateful if soft refreshments could be provided free of charge while we are at the venue. If possible, a hot meal would be greatly appreciated as well because we often arrive home very late after an event.

Q: How do I confirm my booking?
A: Please contact me via phone, email, or the contact form on this website, supplying your full details and the venue address. I will then send you a contract with full terms and conditions that must be signed and returned to confirm the booking. A deposit of 25% will also be required, payable by BACS or online card payment.

Q: What if the musician/s is taken ill on the day of the event?
A: If I, or any of the musicians, are unable to attend the event due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, I will do my very best to find a suitable replacement. In the extremely unlikely event that all the musicians are unable to attend and I cannot find a suitable replacement, I will offer a full refund of your deposit at your request.

Q: What happens if we cancel the event?
A: It depends upon the circumstances and time scale involved. Please notify us of the cancelation as soon as possible, and we will do our very best to help find an amicable solution.

Q: Will the musician/s provide their own sound equipment and PA system?
A: Yes, I/we will bring all the necessary sound equipment with us. 

Q: Will you need a stage?
A: A stage will be very welcome but it is not a requirement.

Q: Do you have any specific power requirements?
A: Usually, 2-3 independent 13-amp sockets are all that is required depending upon the sound/PA system we bring with us. Details will be included on the contract.

Q: Do you have public liability insurance (PLI) and is your equipment PAT tested?
A: Yes. If the venue requires a certificate for either of these, please let me know when you make the booking.
