Do your bands provide their own sound equipment?
Most of our bands provide the PA and equipment required for their performance. Requirements vary between acts and venues, so we’ll confirm what is included and liaise with you over any venue-specific sound, access or set-up requirements.
How far in advance should I book a band?
