Help and advice

Quality Guarantee:

All our artists are seasoned professionals, mostly with around 10 - 20 years playing experience each. We do not employ amateurs or anybody without high quality playing skills or public playing experience.

VAT Free Shopping:

We do not charge VAT or impose any hidden surcharges. The price quoted is all-inclusive.

The only exception is costs for very long distance travel (such as flights from London to Glasgow or flights to Europe, and any airport transfers). In those circumstances, we would encourage you and the artists to agree these costs separately and settle them directly.

Otherwise, if the artist can drive to your location, then the price you are quoted will be all-inclusive, with no hidden extras whatsoever.

Safety First:

All artists carry Public Liability Insurance (P.L.I.) and have Portable Appliance Test (P.A.T.) safety certificates for their sound / electrical equipment.

Choice & Flexibility:

Because we have access to a very extensive database of artists, we will usually be able to provide a good range of professional musicians to match your requirements, and usually at the right price to suit your budget.

Location, Location, Location:

Most of our artists are in the South East, Midlands, and South West UK. We also have some in East Anglia, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Wales, Spain, France and USA.

Other artists are scattered around different parts of the UK and Europe. So most of the time, we should be able to find someone in your area, or someone willing to travel to your area if you live in a remote location.

Professional Representation:

All our bookings are made under an agreement that is signed by client and artist, so that both sides are clear about the dates, times, venue addresses, music styles, etc.

We follow legal, financial and ‘best practice’ guidelines as recommended by the Musicians Union and the Association of Entertainment Agencies, to provide sound, clear and workable booking agreements for you and for our artists.

Repertoire:

All artists have demo music available on their web pages. Naturally, this is just a very small sample of what they can play.

Their entire repertoire is likely to be very extensive which may not be fully listed on their webpages for practical reasons. Please ask if you require more information about their full repertoire.

Requests:

Most of the artists are very happy to take requests and learn something in advance of your event, within the realms of their natural genre and with a few months notice ideally. Please let us know if you have any specific requests.

Getting Help:

Please call us on 07790 275 061 or use the link below to ‘Ask Us A Question’ if you would like an informal chat about your upcoming event or if you just have a straightforward question.

We would love to hear from you.
