The Small Print and Technical Requirements
- Performance Requirements
• A safe, secure performance area is required. For outdoor events, you must provide full weather protection (roof and three sides, weighted if a canopy) and safe venue power with properly positioned cables. Any damage caused by inadequate protection is the Hirer’s liability.
• Preferred space: approx. 8ft x 5ft (we will fit smaller where possible). A stage is not required, but level flooring is essential. Two power sockets preferred (although one is workable).
• We are not an acoustic act and use powered speakers, monitors, mixer, keyboards, saxophone and percussion. We must remain in one position; relocating and re-setting during the event is not offered.
• Vehicle access close to the venue and one parking space for our van are required.
• Secure storage for cases and bags is required.
• For insurance and health & safety reasons, no one may use our equipment or enter our performance area. If microphones are needed for speeches, separate arrangements must be made.
• Minimum access: 2 hours before guest arrival for set-up, soundcheck and changing.
• Catering: food plus tea/coffee or soft drinks will be provided free of charge. (We do not consume alcohol while working.) For lunchtime performances, breakfast is required and a bite to eat after the performance will also be provided.
• We perform only at UK mainland venues compliant with Health & Safety regulations.
Bookings & Payments
• Payment by cash on the day or BACS before or no later than 7 days after the performance.
• In the unlikely event we cannot appear due to accident, illness, vehicle breakdown or force majeure, you will be informed promptly and any payment refunded in full.
• Cancellations by the Hirer must be made in writing at least 30 days prior; otherwise, the full fee remains payable.
By proceeding with a booking of our services, you acknowledge and agree that such booking constitutes a legally binding contract. In doing so, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted all of the above Terms and Conditions in full.
