Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Our performance area must be roughly 3x4 meters. We can fit into smaller spaces in some instances but would need communication on this. Our set up can run on 2 separate 13 amp power sockets without overloading. Awkward access/distance to the performance area could affect our set-up time.


What information do you require about a venue?

Exact location, performance area and whether there is a sound limiter or any local noise restrictions.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We provide basic sound and lighting. Our PA system is sufficient for most rooms, though in a particularly big space it may be advised for us to hire in a bit extra.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We are happy to provide music before, in-between and after our sets, either from one of our playlists or provided by the client. We can also provide a "DJ set" for an extra charge to keep the dance floor pumping.
