I provide bands for artists and events such as weddings, birthday parties, award ceremonies and many more events, specialising in afrobeat, fusion, hip hop, r&b, jazz, pop, funk and gospel music.
How to book and what’s involved
There are prepared set lists and we can also take song requests from clients. We would need a minimum of 1 week to prepare the performance. Ideally, 2 weeks notice is preferable to organise set lists, musicians and set up rehearsals.
Band for Hire rates
The average band for hire rates are £200 per person with a minimum of 6 people in the band including bass, drums, keyboards, guitar and 1 singer. The sound engineer fee is £350. We will provide all the music equipment.
We can add saxophone and trumpet upon request, and can do instrumental sets without a vocalist too.
We would need a deposit of 50% of the fee before we can commit to anything.
The rate is £150 per person if the venue provides most of the equipment including bass amp, guitar amp, drum kit and PA with a mixer and microphones.
On the day of the event we will arrive early to set up and soundcheck. All equipment is PAT tested and I have Public Liability insurance too.
A quality service is guaranteed.
Set variations
There are four set variations to choose from:
- 1 x 60 minute set is £120 per musician
- 2 x 30 minute sets is £120 per musician
- 2 x 60 minute sets is £200 per musician
- 3 x 45 minute sets is £250 per musician
With at least a 15 minute break in between sets.
Fees are calculated using the Musicians Union National Gig Rates, found here, and the Casual Stage Rates, found here.
