Q: How long does setup take?A: Generally the bigger the band the longer the set up time so as a rule of thumb we like a maximum of 2 hours for a 12 piece line up.
Packing down normally takes the band 1 hour from the end of performance.
If you require an arrival time of earlier then 6pm then the band may add a waiting fee. Q: What are your space and power requirements?A: The Sessions will try to be a flexible as possible in regard to the stage size and can quite easily adapt to a number of situations however it is advisable to provide a minimum stage area of 15″ x 10″ (4.5M x 3M approx) for the 8 piece, 17″ x 12″ (5M x 3.5M approx) for the 10 piece and 20″ x 12″ (6M x 3.5M approx) for the 12 piece band.
It is not necessary to provide a stage but if you do have one that is a bit smaller than the measurement above that’s fine we can normally use it as a drum or amp riser!
However please do always provide a space or about 15″ x 8″ for the band to perform in. Q: Do you take requests?A: Yes we do! All we require is 2 months notice to make sure we can learn it.
