++++ many, many more...
A suitable area to set up with plug points. I have a smaller set up for "house parties" (birthdays/wedding anniversaries etc...) which doesn't take up much space.
If outdoors (Summer) then equipment must have cover to avoid getting wet.
Yes - self contained.
Directions and where to load in equipment are useful.
Yes.
There have been too many to single out. I particularly like gigs with my swing band when there is normally a full dance floor.
I have been influenced by many artists. My favourite singer is Frank Sinatra who covered most of the greatest songs written. My favourite artist overall is Stevie Wonder - a musical genius!
I have 20 years experience as a professional musician and singer. I have gigged at every imaginable type of venue - parties, events, pubs, clubs, village halls, bandstands, festivals.....I learn from every gig.
An event where people are happy either listening and enjoying the music or dancing if appropriate.
Normally 2 x 1 hour sets. Other recorded music (Spotify) to make up a whole evening without need for a disco. Flexible....
Yes, so long as there is adequate cover for musical equipment if it's raining. Would prefer not to play directly on grass (can affect the equipment) so some ground cover or stage is good.
We are flexible on our set lists. We tend to know what songs are suitable but are happy to play requests.
We have many, many fine reviews of our performances. It is important to us that people enjoy the music we play and we like to get booked again by a client if possible (it does happen)!
