Blue Train FAQ

Q: Can we see the band live before booking you?

A: As most of our bookings are private functions and corporate events, it is not always possible for people to see us before booking - though we do try to schedule a few public gigs every year whenever possible. You can find our current list of our public live dates here, and see videos of the band here.

Q: How much time do you need to set up?

A: We need around an hour and a half to get the band fully set up and sound checked, although we can have background music up and running within minutes of our initial arrival at your venue.

Q: Do we need to provide food for the band?

A: As we are away from home for a significant amount of time, you would be expected to provide some food and drinking water for the 8 x band members. We would require advanced notification if this is a problem.

Q: How much space does the band need?

A: We simply require a dry, level performance area, (min 18' x 8'). A stage is not essential, but is helpful to elevate the band above the dancefloor.

Q: What are your power supply requirements?

A: We need 2 x separate 13A outlets.

Q: What equipment do we need to provide?

A: Nothing (exept for the power supply mentioned above). We provide a full PA, lighting rig and all other equipment necessary for your evening's entertainment.

Q: Do you have Public Liability Insurance?

A: Yes. You can view our Public Liability Insurance certificate here

Q: Has your electrical equipment been PAT tested?

A: Yes. All of our electronic equipment has been PAT tested and certified by a qualified Electrician

Q: Could you set up earlier in the day / the day before?

A: This depends on the location and security arrangements at the venue. As this would involve a significant time investment, and numerous trips to the venue, we may be able to accommodate this at additional cost. Please contact us to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Q: Could the band learn and perform our first dance?

A: Yes - if it is technically feasable for the band to play to the required standard. We would ideally need at least 3 months notice to do this.
