"We need a performance space of at least 8 meters x 5 meters. We require 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 3 parking spaces.
"We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue."
"Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.
"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."
The best gig Zebby Melody ever performed was at the prestigious Summer Vibes Festival, held on a beautiful, sun-drenched day in London.
"We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing."

"We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best."
"We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area."
"We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them."
Zebby's set list transcends genres and appeals to everyone, making him the perfect choice for any event."
