Where can I see you play?
The band is so busy with private engagements that they rarely have the opportunity to play at public events. Many hosts are uncomfortable with us inviting potential clients to their wedding or corporate function, therefore we prefer not to ask them.

Will the band need a PA or special lighting?
The band will supply their own PA and lighting suitable for events up to 200 capacity. If your event is of a larger capacity the band can arrange suitable sound and lighting solutions to meet your event requirements - please mention when booking.

Do you take song requests?
Clients are welcome to pre-request specific songs from our current set list and the band will try to accommodate as many of these as possible. If you would like us to learn and play a song live that is not on our set list, there will be an additional charge per song to cover the bands time and rehearsal costs. Please mention when enquiring.

Will I need to hire a DJ?
We can supply music for before, during and after our sets at no extra fee. We provide a laptop with a pre made playlist of popular party tunes to keep the atmosphere going whilst the band is not playing. We can also recommend our own DJ/DISCO services for you to hire seperately with reduced rates due to sharing our sound system and transportation. Seany Ds dj and disco has worked with the band at hundreds of events and can provide extra lighting, personal playlists and themes, make annoucements and take requests to make your night that extra special.

What venues will you play?
The band will perform at a wide variety of venues from pubs & village halls to large country estates, theatres, festivals, halls and hotel function rooms. The band will also perform in marquees or outdoors, under cover, if the weather allows it.

Sound Advice: Chances are that you've already booked the venue, but before you book your band / DJ we advise that you check with your venue to make sure they can accomodate for live music, some venues have volume restrictions with cut off systems, not all venues will make you aware of this when you make a booking and this can cause problems on the night with equipment being shutdown during performances and sometimes a wait of upto 10 minutes before re-setting. While the band can adjust their volumes accordingly we do need to be informed of the venues noise code in order to respect it. Please ask your co-ordinator or event/venue manager and inform us when enquiring.

How much space do you need?
The Mighty Persuaders are a 4 piece band and require a minimum performance area of 5 x 4 meters with a minimum of 4 electrical points.

How long do you need to set up?
Usually we need 1 - 1.5 hours (90 min) to install and set up the PA and sound check in advance of the performance. We prefer to carrying out the sound-check before the arrival of guests where possible.

How long do you normally play for?
The band can perform upto 2 hours of live music depending on your budget. Choose from 2 x 45 min sets - 2 x 60 min sets or 3 x 40min sets. If you wish the band to perform for longer periods please mention when enquiring.
