Frequently Asked Questions
We know that the decision to hire professional musicians to play for your event is a big one and can take up a big part of your budget. We therefore appreciate that you will want to be absolutely sure about what you're getting from PFoG if you wanted to book us.
Below is a set of FAQ's that we get asked all the time. Hopefully they help!
What is the line up?
Male and female vocals, backing vocals, keys, guitar, bass, drums, sax, trumpet and trombone.
How long do you play for?
We tend to play up to two, one hour sets for evening functions. For festivals, one set is common place and we would discuss with the organiser how long this would be for.
Do you do a disco too?
We can play recorded music (disco style) before we start, during our break and for up to half an hour after we’ve finished as standard included in our price. If you want a disco for longer, we can do this for you for a small hourly rate. It’ll still save you hiring a separate DJ just for this period of time.
Do you provide your own equipment?
Yes. We provide all of our own superb sound and lighting rig ensuring that our set up and your dance floor looks and sounds awesome. For larger spaces and events, we may recommend hiring in extra staging, sound and light. For festivals, we are very happy working with external tech teams and we can provide full sound and light riders.
Do you play the first dance?
Yes. We can play your first dance. It can be a song from our huge repertoire included in our standard cost. If you wish to request something that we don’t have on our repertoire list, we can arrange this music and rehearse it for an extra small cost.
Do you do requests?
Same as for the first dance. We’re really happy to learn something new but we would need to have the arrangement and rehearsal covered in the cost. If there’s songs in our repertoire that you really want us to play, it goes without saying, yes!
Will you travel?
We are willing to travel anywhere to play for you! Our standard cost covers anywhere within 40 miles. An extra travel cost will be incurred if further afield.
Where else can we see you play?
We’re playing all across the south west and beyond over the next couple of years. Whilst a lot of our gigs are private functions, we will still turn out at some public events including festivals and pubs. We’re also going to put on a showcase a couple of times a year for prospective bookers to come along and see us do our thing. Details of all of these can be found advertised on our Facebook page. Come and give us a follow.
Can we find you elsewhere online?
Yes. We have very active Facebook and Instagram channels. Look us up!
How far in advance should we book you?
Whilst we still have some limited availability for 2025 and 2026, bookings are coming in thick and fast post COVID, so don’t hesitate.
How do we secure a booking with you?
We consider a booking secured upon receipt of a completed booking contract and 25% deposit.
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT certificates?
Yes. We know that many venues require this so we annually renew our Portable Appliance Testing certificate and Public Liability Insurance. We have cover of up to £5m.
