Most bands offer two 60-minute performances as standard, although many bands can perform longer if necessary. You can spread out a two-hour performance by splitting it into three 40-minute sets.
Bands provide background music through their sound system between their performances.
We encourage YOU to thoroughly review their profile on our website to read video clips of their performance and previous customer testimonials. If You need more information we are happy to speak to You orally or in writing

There are several Riders.
TECHNICAL RIDER;
Description of the necessary technical matters such as sound and light, which are not provided by the artist himself
HOSPITALITY RIDER;
Is a list of things that should be provided or arranged by you to ensure that the band or entertainer can perform at their best.
We ask for sufficient parking, soft drinks for the duration of their stay, refreshments when the act is present at your event for more than 3 hours and a changing room. There may be times when more items need to be placed on the rider due to the nature of the act’s performance. This is always indicated before your booking is confirmed.
WEDDING;
For weddings, a live band can perform dance and listening music for several hours and also provide background music between sets, providing an all-in-one solution for wedding entertainment. Many bands also offer jazz or acoustic sets for your drinks, and solo guitar/piano for your ceremony and wedding breakfast. These options can help keep costs down, compared to hiring individual artists for your wedding day.
COMPANY PARTY;
Usually bands are selected for this that have a wide range of music choice. Also, bands are often hired to accompany special artists. For corporate events, bands can provide walk-on music for award ceremonies. We also have bands that specialize in one style of music such as Jazz-Soul-Rock-Country.
If your party venue has a noise limiter or volume restrictions, many bands offer an electronic drum kit option that can significantly reduce the overall volume of the band.
If you prefer your entertainment to serve as background music, where guests can still easily have a conversation in the same room, then you might consider a smaller band of 2 or 3 people. But also a jazz / swing band, solo singer / guitarist or Rat Pack singer can consider. All these artists are capable of performing popular music, but in a more relaxed style.
