You should read this page so you know what we need to be able to play for
your event. This will ensure we keep down the potential for any misunderstandings or serious problems with setting up and running your event. Back to FAQs page Q. How long do you play for? Q. Can you provide recorded music when you are not playing? Q. Can we use you sound system for making speaches etc.
Q. What do you need to be able to play at a venue?
A clean and private dressing room or changing area, preferably near
Access to the playing area to load in and get out that does not include stairs, or there is lift access. We are not wimps, but we have a lot of equipment, some of it very heavy, and we are very health and safety conscious! Your chosen venue should be able to advise on suitable access and exit routes. Q. Do you use tapes or sequencers to fill out your sound? Absolutely not! Everything you hear when we play is live and live only. We firmly believe that if you book a live band, live is what you should get. Q. How much time do you need to set up your equipment? Our normal arrival time is 6:00pm and it can take us anything up to 1.5 hours to set up (including sound check). This will depend on how difficult a set up it is and any problems we have to resolve along the way. Clearly, this affects the start time of your event so we strongly suggest you discuss this with us when confirming your booking. For example, a 6:00pm arrival will normally mean a start time for your event of 8:00pm for your guests. If you require an earlier start, this can be discussed but it will affect our quote as it means we are going to be on-site for a longer period. Q. Do you have insururance and is you equipment safe? We have Public Liability insurance to £1 million and can provide a certificate to any venue that wants to see it. All our equipment has been electrically PAT tested and labelled as such. |

“What a fantastic ball. Splinter were excellent as usual, any chance of hiring them to play at the (Spice) National Ball?” |
