Info

Please find listed below information regarding all additional aspects for our gigs.

Please contact Emily if you have any further queries.

Song Requests:

All clients can pick between 28-30 songs from our current set list.

We accept 1st and last dance requests if the song you would like to hear is not listed on our set list. We usually need at least one months notice to prepare your request. Should you wish to make more than one special request, there may be an additional charge.

Venue:

Abnormally Funky have performed at a wide variety of Wedding Venues including small venues such as pubs & church halls to larger country estates, theatres & halls. We are also able to perform in a marquee or outdoors in the summer months.

PA/Lighting:

Abnormally Funky Provide their own Industry Standard Professional PA System and Lighting Rig which is suitable for most venues and as such, PA and Lighting costs are included in any quote for the band. In the event of a larger or outdoor venue we can hire in the relevant equipment and lighting at additional cost. Should the client wish to provide their own PA & Sound Engineer for the gig, the bands PA requirements can be discussed. It is always highly recommended that we use our own PA & Lighting as our system is tried, tested and designed for our specific requirements. At present setting up and sound-checking the band takes approximately one hour.

Technical Information/Health & Safety:

All of our equipment is PAT Tested to Standard Health and Safety Regulations (http://www.pat-testing.info/) and we endeavour to lay out all electrical equipment and instruments as neatly and as safe as possible. We require at least one electrical socket and we provide our own PAT Tested extension leads.

Performance Requirements:

Although staging is an advantage to any gig, Abnormally Funky can perform with or without staging, indoors or outdoors. For optimal performance, we require the following minimum size for performance space.

2/3/4 Piece Band 12ft by 6ft
5/6 Piece Band 16ft by 10ft
7/8 Piece Band 18ft by 12ft

Abnormally Funky require a (free) supply of soft beverage or water throughout the duration of the event. The provision of food is required as is provided to the guests, or an alternative substantial meal.

Car parking for 4 cars should be made available, preferably near the entrance of the gig for ease of unloading equipment.
