Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Our space requirements are something like 3.5m deep by 4.5m across min (bit more would be better still) If it is in a marquee then we do however need a solid, flat, horizontal surface to set up on which is especially crucial for the drummer and pianist/ keyboardist.

Minimum requirements are 2 sep 13 amp supplies (so if inside just 2 sep sockets in the vicinity of the band area. If in a marquee 2 supplies taken from different sockets or 2 sockets from a generator with enough input to handle it (something like a 4KW supply)

Including our sound engineer

For the very best results and/or if you need the quickest set up possible then bringing in our sound engineer as well would be a good choice. With this option the sound engineer can help set up the PA system and also adjust the balance of the band as we go.It is fine just setting the balance at the start and then leaving it but you get an even better sound if someone is constantly on it. It also means the band can completely concentrate on performing without having to attend to technical issues.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

2 x 1hr sets. We find this works best. If however if 3x 40 mins fit into their timings better we can do that as well (both generally over a 3hr period)

We like to allow 90 mins for set up. That said if a quicker set up is required we can be more prepared and we can probably get it done in an hour or slightly less.
