We need at least 1 power socket within reach of performance space, more for larger ensembles of course.
I require the exact address of the venue, as well as nearest parking and/or best way to get there by public transport.
I'd need to know what kind of sound equipment is available at the venue.
We do not provide lighting equipment.
We can provide limited sound equipment, but for larger events and spaces we wouldn't be able to provide a full PA system.
