What to Provide?

Seating

Formal Events

For Formal events the Band will require seating - Chairs without arms are preferred however not essential.

Full Band Booking = 25 Chairs
Half Band Booking = 10 - 15 chairs
Six Piece Booking = 6 Chairs

Caroling and Seasonal Fairs

For caroling and other seasonal fairs smaller ensembles are available and chairs are not typically required.

Marches and Carnivals

For marches and carnivals seating is not required. On public highways road closures should be agreed and in place with local authorities. It is also preferred that routes are stewarded to mitigate risk.

Seating Arrangement

A typical FULL band seating formation is shown below. This seating arrangement can be adjusted to suit individual venue requirements. The band can also perform on tiered stages or adjust to suit smaller venues.

If you are unsure about the suitability of the band at your location please contact us. In most cases a band representative can perform a site visit to assess the performance area and give you peace of mind.

Back of house facility

Where possible a back of house room is useful for the band to store instrument cases and serve as a changing room. This room is usually occupied before and after the event as well as during any intervals.

Light refreshments are always welcome - particularly at intervals.

Parking and Access

Band members typically travel in private cars. Where possible close vehicular access to the venue for the Band's larger instruments and equipment is appreciated.

Please make the band representative aware of the venue address as well as any loading bays or back stage access locations - Level access is prefered for large instruments and equiptment.

For long distance or overseas events coach parking may be required.

Outdoor Events

From a practical point of veiw, the ground in a performance area needs to be relatively flat for seated events.

Weather shelters such as bandstands or gazebos provide good protection from the elements. In very severe weather the band may require an indoor performance area.

The band can provide a Gazebo for our performance at additional cost. If you would like to make an enquiry for the Gazebo Hire along with your booking please let us know.

On turf and on other soft ground conditions chairs with thin legs have the potential to sink easily into the ground. A groundsheet in the performance area or hardstanding may be required to avoid this risk.

Booking Notice

The band have a busy schedule of concerts and events so please attempt to give a minimum of four weeks notice for event bookings. We are however flexible and may be available to accept bookings at shorter notice subject to availability. Please book early to avoid dissapointment.
