Frequently Asked Questions
If you're thinking of booking us and have a question, please check here, we've tried to answer the questions we get asked most often.
If we've missed anything, don't hesitate to contact us - we're happy to help and answer any questions you have!
How Do I Book You?
Easy! Just get in touch, we'll ask you for details about your event, and confirm if we are available on the date. We will then send you a booking agreement, and when you're ready to book we'll ask you to pay a deposit to confirm the booking.
Do you have Public Liability insurance and PAT tests?
Yes - we have full Public Liablity Cover and our equipment is regularly safety tested, we can email you or your event planner/venue a copy of the current certificates on request. Most venues require bands to have this level of cover (so that the venue meets it's own insurance requirements), it's always worth checking this when you book any bands or musicians.
How long do you play for?
We typically play 2x50 minute sets with one break. If your event would be better served by different timings, that's no problem: we'll simply arrange the timings to be flexible with whatever else is happening during your event.
Do you provide background music between your sets?
Yes, it's no problem to set some appropriate background music playing when we aren't playing.
What stage area or electricity do you need?
We need a performance area which must be level and dry (we're thinking of marquees and outdoor gigs here!). It doesn't have to be a raised stage, but we do need a certain minimum size to fit 2 people and our equipment, typically a minimum of 3m wide x 2m deep is required. For power we need one 13A (safe) socket minimum.
How long do you need to set up?
We need minimum approximately 30-40 minutes to set up before starting to play. This assumes we have nearby access from our car to the stage. We usually arrive about 1 hour before we are due on stage.
Yes, to be able to unload our equipment into the venue we need reserved parking for 1 car at the venue. If this is a problem, let us know in advance and we will factor any extra time and costs involved.
If there's nowhere for us to park, please don't expect us to "sort it out on the day" - if we can't park conveniently, we can't unload our equipment, and can't play.
