Q. How much does "George" cost?.
A. Each job is tailor made to the customer so it would be wrong to give a general price. The cost depends on a few factors e.g.. Length of playing time, distance to venue ect.
Q: How long will you play for at my wedding?
A. My normal performance times are 8.00pm to midnight, this is broken up by a 30 minute break that is taken during the evening buffet. for extended performances after midnight, please aske on the Booking form
Q. How long does it take to set up?.
A. I arrive at least an hour and a half before the starting time unless otherwise arranged. It takes me approximately 45 minutes to complete a set up and sound check for the average engagement
Q. Special requests? .
A. My play list is very flexible so if there are songs you definitely want included (or excluded!) just let me know. Of course if you wish a song that's special to you and I don't already do it -I'll try and learn it ...given enough notice... or we can play it on CD if you prefer
Q. Does the size of venue matter?.
A. Within reason I can set up and play in most situations
Q. Can you provide pre-recorded music when not performing?.
A. I’ve got a range of CD music that I can play either to keep the party going between my live sets and/or to provide background music (for example, while your guests are eating). I also have some excellent disco lights that add to the atmosphere.
Q. Can I see you play live?.
A. I try to make a point of playing at least once a month in a local pub or club. It's fun! Tho' the set wouldn't necessarily be representative of what I'd play at a private function, it gives prospective clients a chance to meet me and hear the full band sound that I create.
Q. How far do you travel?.
A. I travel nationally to play at events. my quote will include all travel expenses
Q. How much power does the equipment require, what are the minimum electrical requirements?.
A. My PA and Lighting can be powered from 2 or preferably 3 separate 13-amp plug sockets.
Q.The events manager at the venue informed us that there is a limit on the volume the venue can allow. Can you meet this requirement?. .
A. Yes, I can adjust volume levels to suit both the client and the venue. It is best to let me know in advance if the venue has a very strict requirement on volume and I will either tailor my set-up and performance accordingly, or if the venue is for acoustic (unplugged) music only, recommend an alternative band.
Q. What do you wear on stage?
A. I always dress smartly to suit the occasion.
Q. The function suite where you'll be playing for my wedding reception is in the room where we're having our meal. When will you set up your equipment?.
A. This is normal. Once your meal and speeches are over, you and your guests will most likely be moved to another room to allow staff to clear and rearrange the tables. This is when I will set up my equipment.
Q. How do we pay George?.
A. I require a deposit to book the date in my diary.I will then send you a letter of confirmation.
If you like, you can pay the balance by cheque, but please note I require this 14 DAYS PRIOR TO THE FUNCTION .You can pay the balance on the night - prior to the start of the evening - and in cash please. It's one of my golden rules, and - let's face it - being paid always puts me in a good mood for a party!
