CHECKLIST
So
you want to book
a live band!
Ask
yourself, do they offer the following?
The
Groove Company
offer all the above
BEWARE
Watchout for amateur & semi-pro bands
- they do not have a reputation to keep as they do not rely on playing
music for a living, unlike pro musicians like The Groove Company.
Quality of service is everything to TGC, otherwise they would
be out of business just like any other profession.
- Reliability - The Groove Company
are always punctual, polite, helpful, smart & take pride in their
work.
TOP
- Versatility -
Unlike other bands who may perform
the same 20 songs everynight, TGC are renowned for their large repertoire
that covers many different styles - anything not performed live is
probably covered on CD. TGC perform a different set every night to
suit the audience.
TOP
- Fulltime pro musicians
- TGC provide excellent professional
musicians that have played with 'named' recording artists, eg. Toyah,
Limahl, Monkees, Jamie Cullum, Nick Heywood, Paul Young, Roy Wood,
etc...... If you book an amateur band, say 12 months in advance of
your function, can you be sure they will still be a band when it comes
to your function date.
TOP
- Repertoire of over
600 songs - see versatility
TOP
- Contract - TGC
provide a booking form which lists all relevant details regarding
the engagement. This offers peace of mind to both the artist &
client to know that both parties are fully aware of all the details
involved.
TOP
- Disco / Background
CD's - TGC offer CDs in the band
breaks for both dancing & background. The CD collection is extensive
and TGC welcome requests, just like a normal disco. Primarily TGC
are a live band so might not have as large a selection of CDs/Lighting
effects as a fulltime disco. Your function can lose momentum if there
are periods where nothing is happening.
TOP
- Stage lighting - TGC
provide stage lighting to illuminate the members of the band. If the
venue does not have stage lighting this is an essential requirement
that is often overlooked.
TOP
- Disco lighting - TGC
provide disco effects lighting to illuminate the dancefloor and create
atmosphere.
TOP
- Clients choice of
songs - TGC like to send the client
their full songlist that they perform so that they can tick &
list their favourites to be played on the night. Or the choice can
just be left up to TGC.
TGC will adapt to the atmosphere of the function - they do not play
the same songs for every occasion.
TOP
- Public liability
insurance - TGC are insured through
the Musicians Union.
TOP
- Quality equipment
- Although nothing can be absolutely
guaranteed when electrical equipment is involved, TGC provide reliable
top quality equipment which is regularly maintained.
TOP
- Over 10 years experience
- TGC offer over 10 years professional
experience - playing in many different circumstances & to all
kinds of audiences.
