Booking Aftershock
-
Before booking Aftershock for your function,
-
please consider the following..
1.
Volume and your venue
-
Please check
with your venue that they are used to live function bands and
ask if they have any issues with neighbours complaining of
noise. A band is loud and it is too late once the special day
has arrived to make changes. Please inform us if the venue has a
preset noise limiter before the day and we can discuss the
options. Remember you are paying a lot of money to have one of
the areas finest bands (that's us) play at your function. You
must get the most out of us!!
2.
Stage facilities
-
Please
check with your venue that there is sufficient room for the
band. Aftershock ask for an area at least 12ft deep by 20ft
wide. If this is not possible then please inform us and we will
try to work around it. It is also asked for the hirers to check
with the venue that they have an electrical system safe and
powerful enough to supply power for a band and lighting system.
3.
Sound desk
-
Aftershock always use a professional sound man to ensure
excellent sound level and balance. He will be positioned
somewhere in front of the stage, usually at least 20 feet from
the stage, to the side or rear of the dance floor, as he has to
hear a balanced sound. We ask that if there is a seating plan,
an area is set aside for this purpose.
4.
Volume
and your guests
-
Aftershock
are a powerful function band that play music to keep a dance
floor full. Their sets are not background music, so if you are
looking for a band to play quietly in the corner please keep
looking. Although we will work with our hirers to ensure that
needs are met and that an excellent night is had by all, it is
not a good idea to place tables/guests directly in front of our
speakers as later complaints that guests are unable to hold a
conversation leave the band speechless!!!.. YES THIS HAS
HAPPENED!!
5.
Band
facilities
-
On most occasions the band will have travelled some distance to
set up during the day so that they have time to sound check and
leave the stage prepared to play. It is asked that a room to
change in is provided and also refreshments are considered at
locations isolated from towns/villages.
