Q.
Arrival & Setup
When does the band arrive and setup
-
Do we pay for this ? NO
Bands arrive and are set up ready approximately 1hr prior to commencement of music.
Example if the music starts at 7pm
- the band usually would arrive early and be ready by 6.30pm.
You do not pay for this set up time.
You only pay for the band from the first song to the last song of the night.
Extra Early Setup
If you require the band to be set up extra early this can incur extra costs.
The extra time is called down time and is calculated at 50% of performance time
Example if you wanted the band to set up 3 hours
prior to commencement
1 hour for set up and 2 hours waiting around to start
They may charge you down time
If your paying $400 per musician for 4hrs = $100 per hour per musician
Down time is then $50 per hour per musician
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Breaks
What breaks do bands take - Do they play recorded music during the breaks ?
Mostly all amplified music groups play music through their sound system while on breaks.
Instrumental groups eg. String Quartets, Harpists etc. do not play music during
the breaks.
The average break
period in a 4hr performance is
4 x 45 minute sets on stage with 3 x 20 minute
breaks
In a 5hr performance is
5 x 44 minute sets on stage with 4 x 20 minute
breaks
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Requesting Songs
Will the band play special requested songs ?
Yes - If they have the songs in their repertoire
Some high quality professional bands are willing to rehearse a special song for you at no additional cost.
Please note that they will require ample notice. at least 30 days to prepare this for you.
If you require more than one song additional costs may occur.
Note you can supply your own music to be played through the Sound System during the bands Breaks
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GST - Goods & Services Tax
What is GST & do all bands charge it ?
Goods & Services Tax is a government tax imposed in Australia, calculated at 10%.
Eg. If a Band costs
$1500 the GST would be $150 making a total of $1650
to be paid.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Speeches & Announcements
Can I use the microphone
for speeches & announcements
Yes - Bands, Musicians, DJs etc. are willing to allow you to use a microphone during the performance time.
As the microphones are
attached by leads to the
bands sound system
you would need to stand on
or close
to the stage
for this purpose.
If you require a roving
microphone, this would need to be hired - We can arrange this specially
at a small additional cost.
It is wise to check with
your
functions/venue manager as most venues have roving radio microphones and
PA's
available as
part of the venue's facilities.

Dangers in Booking Bands & Acts Direct – without an Agency
-
Act becomes ill or has a personal emergency –
You’re left without entertainment
-
Act has an accident on the way - You have no back up
- Act is offered a
better paying or impressive show - You are dropped for the better gig
- Act has an emergency
in the family - You’re left with no assistance
- Act decides the
money you first negotiated is not enough – He now wants more money
– You pay extra to retain your entertainment
- Act makes a mistake
and double books himself - You end up with the raw end of the deal
- Act completely
forgets your booking- No entertainment turns up
- Act charges you top
dollar - more than he is really worth - You pay money you didn’t need to
- Act gets the details
wrong - has the wrong times - goes to the wrong location
- Act is offered a
residency, which runs regularly - one of the nights, is on your date - Act
drops out on your show
- Act knows that this
is a one of performance - No need to worry about keeping a high profile
- He abuses your
hospitality, eating and drinking at his leisure
- He takes long
breaks beyond what is agreed
- He
overlooks your
requests and performs his own show without concern for you or your guests
The Best of
Entertainment can turn
into a nightmare when you book direct
Entertainers - Musicians - Performers do a
better job when booked by a Agency
Performers do not want to
upset the Agency as they can loos a lot of future bookings
