Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A staging area of 1m x 1m per musician is a minimum requirement in terms of space.
Cover is required to guarantee against weather interruptions of outside performances.
Shade is also required on bright days as direct sunlight affects the tuning of our all-steel instruments. We're happy to choose our own naturally shaded areas at a venue, but if a client wants us to play in a particular outside staging area and it's unshaded- we will need parasols or a gazebo.
For a small fee we can be booked with our own gazebo providing our own weather-proof guarantee!
A regular 13 amp power supply is required in the staging area for all amplified performances.
For health and safety reasons and for us to comply with the terms of our own Public Liability insurance which we (and all bands!) are required to have at all public venues, cover is required for all our electrical equipment if we're required to play outside.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Our set-up time is 10 minutes in our all-acoustic, 'unplugged' format, so our arrival time is normally 30 minutes latest before our first performance time.
We will always arrive 1 hour before performance time if we're required to bring any electrical equipment for amplified performances.
