2 x 1 hour sets: £1500 |
Beginning as a trio, the band began playing a regular slot in the Bristol Ram, Park Street in 2008, which built a healthy following on a Friday night. Upgrading to a 4 piece adding lead guitar in 2010. Almost entirely through people seeing the band live in the Ram and word of mouth, bookings for weddings, student balls and other events came in. When the manager of the Bristol Ram at the time opened his own place The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, he brought the band with him in 2013. The band currently have a weekly Friday night residency here.

Hard, level surface ideally 4x3 meters but can work with less.
At least two mains plug sockets, ideally on either side of the performance area.
Free soft drinks.
Yes, we provide all the sound and lighting equipment that we will need. Our main speakers are Yamaha DSR112, which we love! Sometimes we can accompany these with a sub-woofer if the venue allows this. Our lighting includes 3 x LED par cans, used to create a wash of light, an LED bar, which reacts to the music we are playing, along with a scanner which shoots shards of light around the room to creates a nice, active ambience.
If the venue knows that Google/Apple Maps don't get you to their premesis, please let us know what the specific directions required are.
We need to know if the venue has a sound limiter.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
We started as a trio with a smaller set up playing a residency in central Bristol. From those gigs, people often asked us to play at their weddings, student balls, birthday parties, Christmas parties etc. We upgraded to being a 4 piece by adding a lead guitarist. We now have another residency at the Famous Royal Navy Volunteer in Bristol on Fridays where's people can get a live preview before booking and continue to play weddings and various private functions.
Set up time: at least 60 mins, 90 if possible.
We aim to arrive 90 mins before set 1 regardless.
Finish by midnight. Negotiable if close to Bristol.
Pack down up to 60 mins, usually less.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area
Clients are welcome to let us know any specific songs they would like us to play or perhaps not to play. This is usually fine but occasionally if a specific request doesn't seem appropriate for the audience, we'll make a decision of what would serve the audience best.
We routinely have members of the audience who come up to us, usually at the end of a gig to kindly let us know how much they enjoyed it. Sometimes they say we sound close to the original, we sound well rehearsed and have a great sounding mix of the band in the room.
