Questions
Do we need to provide anything?
A plug socket and about a square metre. He brings the PA, mics, stands and spares. Setup is 20 minutes and he will work around a pool table being moved.
Can you do a monthly slot?
Yes, and it is cheaper — £180 a night on a standing monthly booking against £200 as a one-off. Same night each month works best for building a crowd.
What about beer festivals?
Well suited to them — no drum kit, small footprint, works as background during an afternoon session and foreground later. Two sessions in a day is a reduced day rate. Most of these venues have no PA, which is not a problem.
Are you insured and PAT tested?
£5m public liability and equipment tested annually. Certificates sent with the confirmation, or in advance if your council or insurer wants them first.
How loud, and will it clear the room?
He plays to the room. Background during food service, up a notch later. If you have a noise limiter or a residential neighbour, say so and he will work inside it.
