Ultimate
Beatles' show can
be tailored to meet your needs and to fit around your event, be
it a wedding, party or corporate bash. Before making a booking,
please take the time to read this important extra information.
All
Live!
We
don't expect you to pay for a phony act; you are assured that
Ultimate Beatles play 100% live. We use some electronic wizardry
to get some of our sound effects, but every note you will hear
is played on the spot - no backing tapes!
It's
Rock and Roll and it's LOUD!
Ultimate
Beatles don't play any louder than you would expect any rock and
roll band to play, but we're not a cocktail act! Live drums, bass
and guitars inevitably means loud, high energy music, so if you're
looking for 'background' music, Ultimate Beatles are not going
to be ideal. Please bear this in mind when considering the type
of entertainment you want and the type of venue where you will
be holding your event. If the band starts playing and you suddenly
realise that it's too much for you, there's little that can be
done about it then!
In
particular, please check with the venue whether there is a sound
limiter installed (this is an electronic device that causes the
electrical circuits to cut out if the volume of music remains
above a certain level for more than a certain number of seconds
- they are usually installed as a requirement of a venue's entertainment
licence because of residential accommodation nearby or for structural
reasons). It is usually not practical for us to perform at venues
with sound limiters and we would rather know about them before
we make wasted arrangements - it will avoid a lot of disappointment
later on!
Sets
We
typically perform two sets of 45 minutes or three of half an hour,
with up to three costume changes according to the schedule. However,
we can negotiate with you according to your needs.
Requests
Check
our 'Repertoire' page for the Beatles
hits we play. We will do our best to cater for your requests too.
Sound
We
bring our own sound rig which is big enough for most small to
medium indoor venues. We are happy to discuss larger events (including
outdoor festivals etc.) and the sort of equipment that may need
to be hired.
Disco
For
a small extra fee and subject to negotiation, we can provide disco
lighting and play your choice of dancing music over our PA between
sets, either from an mp3 player or a CD player.
Rider
We're
easily pleased! Usually we just ask for a place to change and
store our gear and some refreshments.
Insurance
As
paid-up MU members, we are insured for Public Liability in the
event of any accidents.
Deposit
We
don't normally require a deposit, but we will draw up a detailed
contract with you to ensure we both understand our commitments.
