| Can we see you play before we enquire about booking you? |
Nowadays, we mainly perform at weddings and private functions only. If we do have a gig open to the public, we will list it on the website or send out an email newsletter. The setlist performed at a pub or social club may differ quite heavily though to what we would perform at a wedding.
A selection of live songs are available on request by emailing band@neworiginals.net if you wanted to get an idea of our live sound. |
| What songs do you play? |
| We mainly play rock and pop songs from the 1980s. Some songs we play are listed on other pages on the website. A full list of songs is available on request. |
| Do you play songs from other decades? |
| We do play a few from the 1970s and the 1990s, but the main theme of the evening would be songs from the 1980s. |
| Can you play [Enter song title] by [Enter artist name]? |
| We would be more than happy to learn and play a special request just for your event - whether it be for your first dance, or just because its your favourite song. Regardless of when the song is from, we would be able to learn it providing we had enough notice. |
| How long do you play for? |
| We can play 2 sets of between 40 minutes to 1 hour each set. We can play for longer or for shorter depending on how you have your evening planned. |
| How much do you charge? |
| Please email us at band@neworiginals.net or call Phil on 07931 429 454 to discuss a quote. |
| How much space do you need? |
The more space we have the better. The minimum space we would require is probably 5 metres by 3 metres. We would also require at least 1 standard plug socket and an area where we can change.
We would also require a table near the back of the room for our sound engineer. |
| Can you play background music between sets? |
We can play music through our PA system before, inbetween and after our sets. This would be at no additional cost, saving you the price to hire a DJ.
We have a variety of music to choose from -
- 60s / 70s / 80s / 90s / modern day
- pop / rock / soul / dance / jazz / big band / golden oldies
Or indeed a mixture of the above. We can agree what we play before the evening. |
| Can you take requests for background music songs on the night? |
| We cannot take requests unless we have the song in our catalogue on the night. We can also provide DJ services where requests can be taken for an additional cost. |
| Can we provide our own background music on CD? |
| Yes, this is not a problem. |
| We have already booked a DJ for the evening, is this a problem? |
| No, not at all. As long as both the DJ and ourselves have enough room for all our equipment this is fine. |
| What time will you arrive? Can you set up your equipment before the guests arrive? |
We should be able to set up early evening and sound check before your guests arrive. This may not be the entire band (work commitments etc) but we will endeaver to do most the setting up before anybody arrives. The finer details can be arranged beforehand.
Depending on the distance we have to travel (additional costs may apply), we can set up in the morning or the evening beforehand providing the equipment can be left in a secure environment. |
| Do you have public liability insurance / Is your equipment PAT tested? |
| We do, this is available on request. This will fulfil any venue's legal and health & safety obligations. |
| Where are you based? Will you travel to our town? |
| We are based in Dudley in the West Midlands. We are willing to travel in an 80 mile radius for no additional cost. We are willing to travel further afield to this however our fuel costs would need to be supplemented. |
