Can the band play outside?

The band is available to perform outdoors, weather permitting.  The following conditions apply to any outdoor performances:

The band will not perform outdoors in wet or windy conditions or if the location is considered unsuitable from a safety perspective.

It is up to you to ensure you have an alternative indoor venue arranged for the performance.  In the event of the above conditions, the band will only perform at the alternative venue.

The band requires two separate 13-amp power points.

You must ensure that the power points available for an outside performance are tested and fit for purpose.  On arrival, if we have any cause for concern regarding usage of the available power points, then we reserve the right to opt for your chosen pre-arranged alternative venue, or to cancel the performance.

We reserve the right not to perform outdoors based on a safety assessment of weather conditions, electrical safety and site location.  This is non-negotiable and we will happily perform at the alternative venue.

Do you require a stage?

A designated performance area sufficient to accommodate a five-piece band is essential to ensure audience enjoyment.  The area could be in the form of a stage, a raised area or sufficient floor space.

Audience participation must remain on the dance floor during the performance and under no circumstances should any of your party invade the stage / performance area at any time.
