Fees:
We will discuss
which of our three different line-up options would be the most adapted
to your event and budget:
Freespirit
Light, Lush or Loaded.
Each
option of Freespirit with 4-7 and up to 10 musicians. In any of these
options the band members are the same. The difference is in the equipment
around the band. From a very simple and compact equipment to a full
production including sound and lighting engineers and crew.
The
fee in London goes form £1200 for Freespirit Light at 4 musicians
to several thousands for a large production.
We will give you
a final quote or if we need to involve
other suppliers or artists, within 48 hours.
Discounts:
Every year we offer one free gig to a charity
that we are happy to support.
Performance time:
Our quote is for up to 2 hours of live
music and 6 hours on site. This is usually ideal in 95% of our bookings,
however, other arrangements are possible so please
ask.
Between the sets:
On request we are able to play CD compilations
(included in our fee) or hire a professional DJ.
By 'playing compilations' we mean that we put on CDs in the CD player
to maintain the ambiance.
A pro DJ/Disco is recommended especially when the party/event is due
to finish late. We regularly hire the best Discos/DJs in the UK and
are used to working with them. Alternatively you are free to bring in
your own DJ.
Equipment:
Freespirit Light: 1000/1200 watts Mackie sound system
and ambient stage lighting adequete for many functions of small to average
size (up 200 guests). We can bring a compact system which fits within
a small space for intimate private functions. On such occasions our
drummer does not use full sized Drums but a 'mini-drum-kit'
(Yamaha Hip-gig) - this
of course is a professional drum-kit which sounds fantastic.
For larger events Freespirit Lush or Loaded are advised.
We are able to cater for indoor or outdoor events and audiences of a
few people to several thousands.
What you should
be aware of:
It is a tradition to offer food and soft drinks
to the band members and crew ( if applicable). We always request parking
for the vehicles and a lockable changing room. 'Food' can be a hot meal
or access to the buffet if any. If this is not possible we will need
to be informed on signing the contract in order to be able to make arrangements.
It is important that the musicians be fed properly. It is important
for us and also for you: the band needs to deliver a tasteful performance
or/and an energetic show. Particularly after having traveled a long
way, loaded, unloaded and set-up the equipment, they need proteins!
Soft drinks are still and sparkling water, coca cola, coffee etc. The
band members drink little or no alcohol.
The overall terms and conditions
will of course
be included in the contract which we will
send you.
