Frequently asked questions

How long do jazz bands in Dorset usually perform for?

Each event is different but the typical performance time for jazz bands in Dorset is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

Do jazz bands in Dorset perform outdoors?

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.

How far in advance do we need to book your services?

Booking jazz bands in Dorset as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Will the act provide all the necessary equipment, such as sound systems and lighting?

Most jazz bands are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some jazz bands in Dorset have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
