The Groove Company
Checklist
So you want to book a live band!
Ask yourself, do they offer the following? _____________________________________________________
Reliability - The Groove Company are always punctual, polite, helpful, smart
& take pride in their work.
Versatility - Unlike other bands who may perform
the same 20 songs everynight, TGC are renowned for their large repertoire
that covers many different styles - anything not performed live is
probably covered on CD. TGC perform a different set every night to
suit the audience.
Fulltime
pro musicians - TGC provide
excellent professional musicians that have played with 'named' recording
artists, eg. Toyah, Limahl, Monkees, Jamie Cullum, Nick Heywood, Paul
Young, Roy Wood, etc...... If you book an amateur band, say 12 months
in advance of your function, can you be sure they will still be a
band when it comes to your function date.
Repertoire
of over 600 songs - see versatility
Contract - TGC provide a booking form which
lists all relevant details regarding the engagement. This offers peace
of mind to both the artist & client to know that both parties
are fully aware of all the details involved.
Disco
/ Background CD's - TGC offer
CDs in the band breaks for both dancing & background. The CD collection
is extensive and TGC welcome requests, just like a normal disco. Primarily
TGC are a live band so might not have as large a selection of CDs/Lighting
effects as a fulltime disco. Your function can lose momentum if there
are periods where nothing is happening.
Stage
lighting - TGC provide stage
lighting to illuminate the members of the band. If the venue does
not have stage lighting this is an essential requirement that is often
overlooked.
Disco
lighting - TGC provide disco
effects lighting to illuminate the dancefloor and create an atmosphere.
Clients
choice of songs - TGC like
to send the client their full songlist that they perform so that they
can tick & list their favourites to be played on the night. Or
the choice can just be left up to TGC. TGC will adapt to the atmosphere of the function - they do not play
the same songs for every occasion.
Public
liability insurance - TGC
are insured through the Musicians Union.
Quality
equipment - Although nothing
can be absolutely guaranteed when electrical equipment is involved,
TGC provide reliable top quality equipment which is regularly maintained.
Over
20 years experience - TGC
offer over 20 years professional experience - playing in many different
circumstances & to all kinds of audiences.
