Q: How long does setup take?A: The Benedicts are very flexible and are able to attend your venue in advance of the event itself in order to setup their equipment (some setup times will incur an additional charge). For an evening performance, the bands’ standard setup time is 6pm, but the aim to fit in with proceedings as best as possible. The Benedicts require a minimum of 60 minutes to setup their equipment and an additional 10 minutes to soundcheck their equipment and will therefore need access to the venue at least 70 minutes prior to the scheduled performance time. The band will also require an additional 30 minutes in order to dismantle their equipment after the event has finished. Q: What are your space and power requirements?A: The Benedicts require 3/4 power sockets and these must be within close proximity of the allocated performance space. For outside events such as marquee weddings, the band will only use a licensed power generator and will require 6/7kw of power to be made available to them. The band can perform with or without staging, indoors or outdoors. However, a performance area of at least 5m x 3.5m will be required. Under no circumstances will the band perform on grass and without solid flooring. Q: Do you take requests?A: The Benedicts love to make your event that extra bit special, and will offer to learn a special song to include within the live performance! This can be performed as your first dance, or rather as part of the main set; simply let the band know the artist & song title and they shall have it done! Special song requests cost an additional fee in order to cover the bands rehearsal costs and the band do ask that you make any requests well in advance of your event.
Please note: The Benedicts are a 4-piece male fronted pop/rock band consisting of Male Vocals, Keyboard, Guitars, Bass & Drums. The band therefore kindly ask that their clients consider their line-up when making any live song requests, eg: a female-sung, big-band piece is likely to sound VERY different should the band be asked to learn it!
