Booking

The following information specifies our booking options, procedure, and what we need from you to do the best show we can. If there is anything else that you need to know that is not included here, email or give us a call!!

1. Band only

The Frisco Crabbe Band perform a 1 ½ hour show, for details see the Songs page.
The band is fully self contained; we provide all PA and sound equipment, our own crew, and stage lighting.
Standard booking terms are set-up and sound checked by 7.00pm. Early set up can be accommodated, but is liable to extra cost.

2. The Frisco Crabbe Experience

As above, but with addition of Lois Alexander to perform up to 2 hours of background cocktail jazz during dinner and pre-dinner drinks. Details of Lois’ repertoire and general information can be found at www.lois-jazz.co.uk
DJ to provide music for dancing either side of the Frisco Crabbe band show. The DJ also provides extra intelligent lighting for the dance floor.

This experience is tailored to provide the entire evenings entertainment in a consolidated package; one point of contact, one invoice, efficient use of equipment and space in the venue, and continuity of entertainment throughout the night.

What we need!

The Frisco show involves between 10 and 12 musicians and crew depending on the option you choose. Here’s what we need :-

1. 32 amp single phase power supply, dedicated for use by the show. If the venue does not have this power supply, then a minimum of 6 standard 13amp wall sockets at the stage.

2. Stage, or performance area. We recommend a performance area of at least 5m x 4m (20’x12’). We can perform in less space, but the more space we have, the better the show.

3. Dressing room. Clean and secure, for the exclusive use of the band and crew from time of arrival to time of departure.

4. Light refreshments. We need soft drinks and tea/coffee + sandwiches prior to performance. Twelve (12) bottles of still mineral water for the stage.

5. Access and parking. Access to the venue at least 3 hours prior to the set-up time, parking provision for 1 large van and 3 cars at the venue.

Pricing

Each engagement is quoted individually. We do not have a set fee; quotes are determined by the details given by the client at the time of enquiry. Any changes in details of the engagement between enquiry and contract render any quote null and void, and a new quote will be made.

Contracts

Full terms and conditions are printed on the reverse of our standard contract. You will be asked to read these terms and conditions, and in signing your contract agree to the terms and conditions. The items included in ‘what we need’ above are also included in the terms and conditions of your contract.

Payment terms

Upon verbal confirmation, two copies of our standard contract and invoice are sent to the client. One copy of the contract is retained by the client for their records, the other is returned to us. We take a 20% deposit with return of contract to secure the engagement. The outstanding balance is payable 7 working days prior to the performance.

And that’s it!!
