QUESTIONS we are FREQUENTLY ASKED
in advance, ideally as part of the booking process.
Q: What time will you arrive?
A: About an hour before the starting time, unless agreed otherwise.
Q: What equipment will you need?
A: We have our own instruments, amplification and transport. All we need is a stage area at least 5ft/1.5m square per musician, with a dedicated 13amp wall socket.
Q: What's a "dedicated" 13amp wall socket?
A: Not an adaptor which is sharing with a fruit machine, bingo machine, TV, fish fryer, gameboy, hair dryer, or whatever. (It does happen, honest!)
Q: Do you need a changing room?
A: No, unless you require us to change into clothing we would not want to wear while humping equipment about!
Q: Does that mean you turn up looking like you've slept in a ditch?
A: No. We aim for smart meets rugged.
Q: Do you play CDs in the break?
A: No, because we do not carry backing tracks or playback machines.
Q: What area do you cover?
A: London, Essex, Herts, Kent, etc, within 20 miles radius of Stratford Olympic Village.
Q: As a guide, what do you charge for a couple of hours on a Saturday night?
A: As a guide, from £150 for the solo, £180 for the duo.
Q: Where can we see you play before we decide?
A: Click the Contact Us button and email, text or phone me, Ed Furst, to find out when we are at a gig or open mike in your area.
