FAQs: Everything You Need to Know

You're bound to have questions before booking the band. Check out our FAQs below or drop me an email if you still have queries.

What is the line-up of the band?

We are a 4-piece function band with the following line-up:

  • Lead Vocals / Electric Guitar
  • Keys / Backing Vocals
  • Bass
  • Drums / Backing Vocals

Does the band provide music between sets?

Yes, we provide playlists before, between and after sets until midnight as standard. We use a fixed playlist, but if you have particular songs in mind, you're also welcome to create and share your own Spotify playlist, which we can play through our PA system.

Do you offer daytime and dinner music?

Yes, we offer the following live music options:

Acoustic Duo

1 hour acoustic duo set featuring vocals/guitar and keys/vocals.

Piano Set

2 x 45 minute set solo piano sets during dinner

We can also offer wedding ceremony music featuring piano or a combination of the members. Please let us know if this is something you're interested in when making your enquiry.

What time will the band arrive?

We usually arrive and set up from 6pm onwards. For weddings, this means we're ready to set up as soon as the wedding breakfast and speeches are finished. With corporate events and parties, we will always set up and sound check before guests arrive. If you require the band to set up earlier in the day, there is an additional hourly fee for every hour before 6pm.

How long does it take the band to set up?

We take 1 hour to set up and sound check. Lifts or stairs may increase load in time.

How long will the band play for?

Our standard set times are 2 x 45 minutes which we find is the perfect amount of time to have a band playing. If you need longer sets, we do offer 3 x 40 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets for an extra fee.

How long are the intervals?

We request intervals of at least 15 minutes but this can be longer to suit your requirements on the day

What time should the band start playing?

This is completely up to you and your schedule on the day. We find it's often best to start the band at around 9pm but this is purely a guide. We also find it's best to serve the buffet during the band breaks or before the band begin.

Will the band require refreshments?

We request that the band is provided with soft drinks throughout our stay at the venue. We also request food for 4 members of the band. This doesn't have to be the same as your guest's meal, just something before we play to keep energy levels up. We usually leave in the afternoon and arrive home in the early hours, so hot food is always highly appreciated.

Can I come and watch the band play live before I book?

We do understand that it's nice to watch the band live before you book, but unfortunately, the mesh band don't play any public gigs at all. Hopefully, the reviews and testimonials will give you peace of mind that we are completely professional, experienced in every type of event and very accommodating.

Does the band provide their own PA system / Lighting equipment?

Yes, we are completely self-contained, so you don't need to worry about a thing. We use a top-class Electro-Voice 4k PA system with access to larger systems for events over 500 people. Our lighting rig is a 4-meter-wide raised truss with light-to-sound scanners and stage lighting.

Do we need to hire a raised stage?

No, a stage is always a great addition to a performance, but it is not a requirement.

How much space do you require?

We are very accommodating regarding space and can fit into just about any room or marquee. For weddings and events in larger rooms, we request 5 meters in width and 3 meters in depth.

What are the minimum power requirements?

We require at least 2 independent 13 amp sockets. If your marquee company has requested details, please advise that our PA system and lighting use approximately 5kw, and a single 16amp power supply is insufficient.

Is the band PAT tested with adequate public liability insurance (PLI)?

Yes, if the venue requires a certificate, please contact us, and we'll forward you a copy.

How do I confirm a booking?

If you've received a quote and would like to go ahead with the booking, we'll need your full address and contact details along with the venue address. We'll then email over a contract with full terms and conditions included. This will then need to be signed and returned to confirm the booking. A deposit of approximately 20% will also be required, payable by bank transfer. An invoice with payment details will be included with the contract.

Are their any hidden fees such as VAT?

No, we do not currently charge VAT
