The usual Monday checks....... Three gigs this weekend so
firstly the usual check-in with agent then check contracts and details, times
and plan routes and leaving times etc. (Cardiff, Tenby, Gloucester).
All bookings are very different this week. Butlins for
example we aren’t on stage until 12.30am so don’t need to be at the venue until
10pm so leave home around 8pm. Whereas, our booking at Haven on the Sunday is a
set complete by 5pm, which means an arrive by 3pm so leaving home at 1pm. We
are on stage for our first spot at 9pm and second spot at 10.15pm.
The wedding we had to perform for on the Monday was a set by
7pm but with that, we do the complete evening including back ground music as
guests arrive, introducing the bride and groom for the first dance, possibly
the announcement of the throwing of the bouquet and the buffet and possibly a
few words from the Groom plus disco music in our break. I always contact the
Bride and Groom the week before to run through final details or any changes.
Most Bride and grooms also need me to supply a copy of our Public Liability
Insurance and PAT testing certificate for the venue (most venues request this).
Failure to provide this could result in the venue not allowing us to play.
I also took time this week to email our availability to existing Agents in the hope to gain further work.
