Terms & Conditions

Parking Access

Our crew will require access as close to the performance area as possible to unload and carry equipment into the location. This will also help to reduce setup time.

Band Room

Where possible, the band should be provided with an area in which to change in private and store cases and equipment during the show. We understand that this is not always possible, but we would ask that you do your best to make those arrangements.

Logistics

Our crew will need a minimum of 90 minutes of set-up time and a further 30 minutes prior to the show to sound-check and get things just right for your function. Where the venue is providing the PA & lighting, this time will be significantly reduced. We will provide updated times for set-up in these circumstances once we know what equipment is required. The band takes shorter breaks than most performers (usually five to 10 minutes between sets) but may need additional time when they have their meal.

Safety

It is the responsibility of the client to provide appropriate supervision for their guests. The client agrees to ensure that no unauthorized person handles any of the equipment of the band. Any damage caused by an unsupervised guest will be the responsibility of the client. This applies even if the client is not present. No person other than the band or their crew is permitted on the stage/performance area at any time while any equipment is there. There will be instances where the band agrees to have people in that area for speeches, etc. This is permitted pursuant to the agreement as long as the person is not adversely affected by alcohol or other substances and behaves in an appropriate manner while in that area.

Venue Limitations

Please check with the venue you are using to ascertain if there are any restrictions for your function. Things such as noise or time restrictions may impact the performance. If such restrictions are in place, we are happy to accommodate them; however, the band will need advance notice in order to ensure the correct equipment is taken to the venue.

Force Majeure

In the case of any situation arising on or before the performance date that renders the agreement impossible to fulfill, which is not due to either of the parties taking reasonable, foreseeable action to prevent. The performance will be cancelled without penalty for either party.

Cancellations
Cancellations are permitted by either party prior to the show without penalty. Cancellations can be made up to six weeks prior to the event, any cancellations after this time will see the deposit become ‘un-refundable’ unless the band is able to secure a replacement booking. Any shortfall in the ‘replacement booking’ will be retained by the band from the deposit, and the remainder will be returned. The booking may not be modified except with the mutual consent of the parties.

Changes on the Day

Where possible, any changes to the performance schedule that are unavoidable should be agreed between the parties.

Extended Performance Fee

There are occasions where the band is asked to extend the performance. This is usually an acceptable practice, depending on the circumstances. If you choose to do this, it will be for a maximum of 45 minutes (around 14 songs) and will attract a 25% additional fee. In order to ensure this is possible, the venue will also have to agree to the extension in time. The additional 25% is payable in cash prior to the additional playing time.

Early Set Up

Usual set up times start approximately two hours prior to the scheduled performance (e.g., 6.00pm for an 8.00pm start). If the set-up is required more than four or more hours prior to the scheduled performance, a 10% loading will be applied to the booking. This often applies to weddings where the venue or the person booking the band requires the set-up to be complete prior to the start of the ceremony.
