Q. How much do you charge? |
|
We offer a bespoke & highly personalised service
to our clients, so we are not able to list fees on our website. For
an accurate quote for your event please complete our online
enquiry
form or contact us direct. Our fees are competitive and affordable, and
by booking us direct taking advantage of our latest offers - you can get
a great deal! |
|
Q. How long do
you play for? |
| We perform up to 2 hours of
live party music, typically performing 2 x 1 hour or 3 x 40 minute sets.
Absolute 80's Tribute as 1 hour or 2 x 45 mins. We
can also provide up to a further 2 hours of live acoustic music during
your wedding breakfast or champagne reception, either as a solo female cocktail pianist
or jazz duo with piano & sax. |
|
Q. What happens
when the band isn't playing? |
| To keep the party
atmosphere alive we provide fantastic
'Disco Mix' music on CD during our breaks, and background music during food completely free of
charge. We are also able to provide a recommended
professional Disco & DJ to complement the band & extend your
evening, or you can provide us with your
own CD mixes which we would be more than happy to play through our
system during our breaks. |
|
Q. Can I come
and see you at one of your gigs? |
| As you will se from our
giglist, 95% of our bookings are for
either private or corporate clients, so unfortunately we are not able
to invite potential clients to watch us at these engagements. We
occasionally perform at public events (see
giglist) where
you could watch us, or we have provided a live video, audio clips,
customer testimonials and previous client list which should give you
a good idea of what we do! |
|
Q. What do you
need from us or the venue? |
| Minimum 2 x 13 amp power supplies,
safe access to performance area and a private changing room (please note toilets are not
changing rooms!)
Water & soft drinks please, and some food would be much appreciated as
our 'working day' can be very long. We don't need much other than
safety & energy and by providing these basic requirements you will get the best possible performance
from the band! |
|
|
Q. How do I make a booking? |
| We try to make it as easy as
possible! Please take a moment to
complete our simple enquiry form for an initial quote, or
contact us
via phone or email for a friendly chat. Confirmed bookings are
secured and detailed via Booking Contract & deposit of only
£100. Check to see if we are available by visiting our
giglist page. |
|
Q. What is the
best sized band for me? |
| We offer line ups from a 3-6 piece
band, allowing clients a unique choice of musical style,
instrumentation plus suitability for size of room and
number of guests. All our line ups include male & female vocals,
guitar and keyboards and you can choose between adding live drums
and / or live brass. All Pop of Ages line- ups play the same songs. |
|
Q. How long does
it take you to set up? |
| Please allow a total of 90
minutes from when the band arrive to when we can start the live
music. Once we can gain access to the performance area,
we will require 60 minutes to set up and sound check. We can get CD music playing within this
time. We will then require another 30 minutes to get clean, get changed and
get fully prepared for a lively and dynamic stage performance! |
|
Q. Can you play our
'first dance'? |
| Yes,
you can choose any song from our current setlist or many couples
prefer their special song in its original format - which we can play for
you on CD. We can also learn most first dance requests if it suits
our vocalists' ranges and band line-up - please note we
do require at least two months notice and an additional
charge will be incurred to cover costs for rehearsal fees. |
|
Q. How much
performance space do you need? |
| This is dependant upon the
band size and line-up engaged. A level area of 3 metres deep
x 6 metres wide is ideal for all our different sized line ups. We
can of course set up in smaller areas and odd corners if required
- and often have to! We can adapt our set-up to fit the area
if necessary so please
contact us for advice
or to discuss the performance space at your chosen venue. |
