BOOKING
Single sets:
A single set is normally around 40 - 60 mins or so in length, and is likely to include 10-15 songs.
Double Set:
A full double set has twice as many songs (as it’s name suggests) and is divided into two halves with a 15 mins or longer break in between the two performances.
Mini Sets:
Mini sets are also catered for where the live performance of just a few acoustic songs is sought to add to an event or occasion (for example wedding ceremony).
Any quoted booking fee is inclusive of the performance, (PA and Lighting where appropriate) , set-up and strip down time, public liability insurance, travel and all other out of pocket expenses. Payment is due at the conclusion of the performance as cash or card payment (the latter is subject to a 3% transaction surcharge)
Sound Craft
Have you ever been to a live music performance where it is just too loud, or there is far too much booming bass and drums; lyrics impossible to make out and its just a woolly mass of thumping sound? (OK for some thats heaven, but its not for everyone.) Ginger is mindful of the need to tailor his audio performance to his clients/audiences needs and comfort. Where amplification is required the solution selected is considered with more than just loudness in mind. Both tried and tested as well as emergent technology is employed to craft the client musical experience. If you want people to be able to chat comfortably during a first set / earlier in the day/evening and be fully immersed in the sound in the second/later in the night, this is a part of crafting the sound performance.
Professional Practice & Liability
Ginger is a member of PRS, PPL and the Musicians Union, and holds £10 Million public liability insurance, all equipment is PAT tested and should it be needed he can provide risk assessments for all his performances.
Live Jukebox:
The Live Jukebox utilises mobile phone interaction which allows patrons to access a list of songs on a virtual jukebox. Song selections are txt to the performer in real time which allows Ginger to play the requests.
The Live Jukebox is only really suitable in a non-party context. From experience requests far exceed the allotted playing time so expectation and things like repeated requests for the same track are managed as part of the performance.
Note: the jukebox is coded for Android and IOS Phones, a minimum of 60 songs are listed but subject to constant up-dating - see example by visiting the Jukebox here.
