Booking Our Band FAQs

How do I make a booking?

Enquire here after which we can issue a Booking Agreement.

How long do you play for?

Every booking is different, though we typically play for 2 x 45 minute sets or 1 x 75 minute set.  These can be extended and we're flexible to suit your event and work around any other proceedings you might have planned.

What size band should I have for my event?

Our 4 piece live band suits most parties with dancing. Our 2 piece duo suits smaller venues, tighter budgets and venues with volume restrictions.

What's the difference between the full band and the Duo?

Our Duo option has two singing musicians taken from our 4-piece band. You get a singer who plays guitar and a second singer playing keyboards and percussion. We're backed by professionally recorded drums and instruments to create a full band sound to create a party atmosphere.

How long does set-up take?

Equipment set-up takes 1 hour from loading into the venue. We can arrange the best time to arrive to allow for set up and sound-check before your guests come into the room.

How much space for the band?

Minimum 5m x 3m stage area for our 4 piece band, or 3m x 2m for our duo. This allows enough space for the instruments, amps and musicians to perform. A dedicated stage with dance-floor area in front would be ideal though a suitable floor area would suffice.

Do we need to supply anything?

Just a changing area, light refreshments and vehicle parking please. We can supply all sound, lighting and musical equipment. We'll need to plug into 2 x standard 3 pin electric sockets.

Can you perform without amplification?

Amplification is usually needed for your guests to hear us properly. If the venue has noise concerns we recommend our duo option where we can adjust our overall volume as required.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and P.A.T. certificates?

Yes we are fully compliant - your venue may need to view these - copies are available on request.

Can you perform outdoors?

We can play outside only if there is adequate cover and protection against wind and rain as we use electrical equipment which is easily damaged. It is at the discretion of the musicians on the day whether or not it is safe to do so. 

How far do you travel?

Most of our bookings are around the North West and North East of England, with the occasional trip further afield.

What songs do you perform?

Please view our repertoire lists at www.themaestros.net

Can we hear you play?

Yes - there are a selection of audio clips and video clips here on our website. Most of our bookings are private events though it may be possible to arrange to see us by request depending on what's coming up. 

What makes The Maestros great value?

Our band members are multi-tasking vocalist/instrumentalists meaning we sing and play at the same time doing two tasks, so you get a big complete sound without having to pay extra for a 6 or 7 piece band.

Can we use your microphone for speeches or announcements?

Yes, just let us know your requirements in advance. For speeches or music earlier in the day before band arrival, ask about our add-on option of microphone/speaker P.A. hire.

Do you supply background / DJ music?

Yes we can keep the music going during breaks using our device or yours. You can have background playlist music through our speakers. If you don't have a DJ we can also look after interval music and have upbeat playlist music after the band finishes so your guests can stay on the dance-floor to the end of the night. If you hire your own DJ as well we'll work together for smooth transitions throughout the event.

What assurances do you give?

When you're booking an act for your event, your first priority is to be sure they will turn up and deliver the goods. Your whole function may depend on it and there may not be a second chance. The Maestros' ultra-reliable reputation is what guarantees repeat bookings and word-of-mouth. Our 100% track record over 20 years is thanks to a reserve pool of back-up musicians of the highest caliber in case of sickness or the unforeseen. That said, if you'd like the extra assurance that an agency offers then you can book us via an agency like Encore Musicians.
