I can cope with Sound Limiters/Decibel Metres that many function venues have as part of their entertainment licence. I also have Public Liability Insurance.
Finding it hard to get just the right "live music" for your party or venue?
Finding good quality "live music" for your event can be quite daunting. I am not an agent but I know a number of bands and musicians in many styles of music (function bands, pop duos, solo guitar etc.) and am always happy to help give advice or pass on details. Feel free to email me vic.cracknell@btinternet.com or call 07917 403052.
If "cocktail music" in the form of swing, soul and classic pop is more what you are looking for then I also play keyboards for the Claire Phoenix Band www.phoenixmusic.org Also contact me if you are looking for someone to play background Cocktail Piano
