​

 

How do we book?

Give us a call, email or live chat message and we can get the process rolling. We’d need to take a small deposit of just over 30% of the total fee to secure the act for your date and will issue a legally binding contract between yourselves and the act.

 

 

 

Can we view the band at a performance?

As our acts are all specialists in wedding, corporate and party functions they generally don’t hold many (if any) public performances. The acts we represent have been through our vigorous vetting process to ensure they are top professional performers. They are far above the level of your standard ‘pub band’ and therefore do not generally perform at pubs and clubs. Wherever possible, the act will try to keep us informed of any public performances they have scheduled.

 

 

 

Will I be able to speak to the act before my event?

During the booking process, Live Music Entertainment will act as a liaison between yourselves and the act to secure all details. Your chosen act will however, make a ‘3 week call’ to you before your event to finalize any finer details about the event. You will get the opportunity to speak to them prior to the event.

 

 

 

How loud will the band be?

Every band is different; if you are looking to book a band with live instruments, such as a drum kit, you must understand that for the quality of sound to be good, the levels have to at least match a live drum kit whilst maintaining a practical volume. Our acts will always remain sensible and will not set out to overpower the night. If you have concerns about this, please mention it to our agent upon inquiring and they can discuss with the band prior to booking.It is also your responsibility to see if the venue has a sound limiter as this can be very influential to the equipment a band may bring to your event. Some acts have measures (eg electronic drum kit) to make life easier when working with a limiter. If unsure, please get in touch for advice.

 

 

Can we choose the songs we wish the band to play?

As a general rule, a band will let you select the songs you would prefer from within their Repertoire / Song List. Many will also learn your First Dance of choice for free. If you wish them to learn other requests not contained within their repertoire however, the band will add on a fee (usually per track). This would be to cover their time and any rehearsal costs involved.

 

 

 

My brother (or other relative/friend) loves karaoke, can he sing

with the band?

Unless written permission is given by the band prior to the event, clients / guests are not permitted to touch or use any equipment at any time, due to the fragility and value of the equipment. The use of microphones for speeches is usually not a problem, however this must be agreed with the act prior to the event.

 

 

 

How long will the band take to set up and how much space will

they require?

Each act is different; generally, a standard act will take roughly one hour to set up, dependent upon easy access to the stage or performance area.The space required also varies between acts. Larger bands will need a larger performance space etc. Each band has their specific required space noted with their pricing guide, on their profile.

 

 

 

What would we need to supply for the act of our choice?

All of our acts require a free supply of soft drinks and buffet or hot meal for the duration of the contract. Many acts will be more than happy with joining in with the evening food (Hogroast, BBQ etc) and a bar tab for soft drinks at the bar.How do we pay the deposit?Payment of the booking deposit is due within 3 days, and is payable via BACS transfer. This is an online or in branch transfer between accounts. If you are unsure how to do so, please get in touch.

 

When/how is the remaining balance due?

The remaining balance will be due on or before the day of the event, prior to the performance of the act. This is payable directly to the act via Cash, Cheque (payable directly to a member of the act and NOT Entertainment Nation Ltd) or BACS transfer before the day. If paying via BACS the funds must be cleared before the day of the event.

 

Do the acts supply all of their own equipment?

Yes, if the act requires equipment to perform, they will supply it. All acts on our books are all self-contained, supplying full PA (loud speaker system), musical instruments and lighting rigs.Our venue requires the act to hold Public Liability Insurance and PAT testing certificates for their instruments.

 

 

 

Do all of the acts hold these?

Yes, all of our acts hold Public Liability Insurance and have all gear PAT tested annually as standard.How do I make a complaint?Complaints can be made via post or email. We shall try and resolve your issue as quickly as possible.
