Privacy – will you use my contact details for any other purposes?

What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

Our booking contract explains the conditions for cancellation, but you can cancel without charge until a month before the event. We understand that not everything in life runs perfectly and in the event of a genuine and unavoidable reason for late cancellation, we will make every attempt to play for you on an alternative date. In certain circumstances we will waive our cancellation fee.

Can we take photos and/or video The Classic Blues Show ?

Yes. We would be grateful if you could email some photos to us so that we can use them on the website.

Can The Classic Blues Show be performed outside / in a marquee?

Yes. Ideally it will be on a solid floor rather than grass. Drum kits tend to sink into grass resulting in an unhappy drummer! Check out the electrical requirements in the FAQ.

There is a limit on the volume the venue allows, can The Classic Blues Show be played at low volume?

Yes, we are not a loud band. Some volume limiters operate at very low levels making live music very difficult. It would be worthwhile discussing this with the venue and with us.

Our venue is quite small. Will there will be enough space?

We can fit in some small spaces, the minimum starting point is about 4m x 3m. Bigger is much better. If you have an unusual space contact us and we will see what is possible.

Will you perform at charity events for free or a reduced fee?

Contact us and discuss what you have in mind. At a minimum we would expect our expenses to be paid.
