FAQs
Can I plug a backing tracking into a PA?
Yes
Do you have a piano?
No. We do have a synth though. This will need setting up so let us know if you need it and we’ll put you on after a break
Do you have a house guitar?
Sort of. There is one for people to use but it’s very precious to the owner so anyone using it must treat it like a baby seal. There is also a house electric that is slightly less precious
How many mics do you have?
One set up. If you need a second please let us know at the beginning of the night so we can set the other one up
Do you have a drum kit?
Fraid not
Can a full band play?
Yes, so long as you can get yourselves set up in a few minutes
My performance isn’t guitar based. Is that okay?
Yep 🙂 we love variety
How do I become a member?
Head here
Can I plug my social media?
Sure, we’ve a lot of performers to get through though so keep it brief 🙂
