Please note our POLICY & CONDITIONS OF HIRE.
1. SPACE; We DO need a good, big dance floor, preferably UN-carpeted, roughly one square yard per person. (Our kind of dancing requires more space than many people and hotels may realise).
2. DANCING; We are a barn-dance/ceilidh band for people who want to get up and dance, rather than just sit there to be entertained. why we do not take "pub" work. Please be sure that an evening of country dancing is what you really want.
3. DISCO? A Disco can impede our progress with the dancers, but we we would share the evening with a Disco, providing we have the main stage, and the Disco would finish the night, usually from 11.00 p.m..
4. HOW MUCH? Our fees are negotiable, but we are often told that we ask much less than other local bands. From April 2007, we have been asking a basic £360, for wedding parties or corporate events in Liverpool.
For "non-wedding/corporate"dances, in Merseyside county, we would play for about £260.
For venues outside Liverpool, travel costs would apply. Increases in fuel prices may affect these prices, and tunnel tolls may apply.
5. RANGE? Our normal range is Merseyside County, South Lancs, & Halton, but further afield can be negotiated.
6. INSURANCE; our band does have Public Liability Insurance of £5million, with Musicians Insurance Services. We can email a jpeg of our current certificate.
If your venue is using a movable "disco" floor, you should check they have insurance covering personal injury caused by their supplying their kind of flooring for our kind of dancing.

HOW TO BOOK US
1. CONFIRMATION; We will confirm a definite booking in writing, by posting you two signed copies of what we have agreed, giving contact details etc. (Please email a postal address.) You should then sign both copies, keep one, and return the other copy with the £40 deposit.
2. DEPOSIT. When dealing with new clients, we usually ask for a non-returnable deposit. Since April 2005 this has been £40.
We would like a final confirmation from you about two weeks before the date. An email or phone call will be fine.
3. PAYMENT will be expected on the night, at the end of our performance, and preferably in cash, as we all live in different towns.
4. CANCELLATION; any deposit would be forfeit, OR a cancellation charge of at least £40 would be required from anyone from whom we had not asked a deposit.
Cancellation within seven days before the event would entail payment of the full fee.
If we have to back out, and cannot provide replacement band or musicians, then clearly we will refund your deposit.
