What Time will the Band Arrive?
All events are different so we will work with the organiser and ensure we are in plenty of time. Set up will then take between 60 and 90 minutes, culminating in a 10 minute sound check at full volume. We always time our set up to avoid any overlap with the arrival of the first guests. In some circumstances an early set up may be needed to achieve this.
How Long Does the Band Play For?
We will always adapt to your function, but we typically play for 90mins in two sets with at least fifteen minutes between sets. We can break this in to several shorter sets if required (sometimes appropriate at Charity Balls to allow fundraising periods to occur in the intervals). .
At What Time Does the Band Play?
We will play any time you like. For an evening event, it will usually be between 8pm and 12pm. In our experience, to maximise your guest's enjoyment and involvement, you should avoid having us play during food service. Also try to time our final set so that it falls late enough in the evening for your guests to be merry and ready to have fun on the dance floor, while ensuring the majority of guests get to see the band before they have to leave. We'd also advise allowing enough time for people to arrive and settle down socially before the band's first set. This is especially important at weddings where reception only guests need time to catch up with the day guests.
Will the Band Require Refreshments?
We always appreciate soft drinks and a snack during the event as it can be a very long and energetic day for us. It's not something we require, but we like to be able to plan in advance to avoid incurring hotel/venue prices.
How Does the Band Dress?
No matter where we play the band is always smartly clothed but for a black tie event we will certainly wear formal evening attire if requested. Note that during arrival and set up the band members will wear more casual clothes and change in to stage cothes once the sound check has been completed.
Can a Guest Get Up and Sing With You?
Yes, as long as we know in advance who they are and which song they want to sing. When we reach the point in the evening where we play that song we'll give them a big introduction and invite them up on stage. In everyone's interest we will never accept impromptu requests by audience members to get up on stage with us during a performance.
