If you are personally hiring a P.A. system we are happy to discuss the act requirements with your sound engineer.
How much space do you require?
We require 4m x 3m minimum.
I've been told the venue has a "sound limiter" - is this a problem?
A sound limiter is an electronic device that monitors the sound and is sometimes connected to cut the power in the venue (and therefore to the bands equipment) if the volume level in the room exceeds a pre-set level. Please be very careful when choosing your venue as your event could be ruined if a limiter is installed.
If your venue has a sound limiter we will contact them to ensure there are no foreseeable problems with noise related concerns.
How far do you travel?
We are happy to travel anywhere in the world.
How early do you need to setup before a gig?

I have a small budget, can you help?

What type of venues will the band play at?
Our only requirement is that there is a safe power supply and a cover for outdoor events in case of rain.
