How much space do you require?
A rough guide to our space is requirements is 5m wide 3M deep. This is only a guide and we are very flexible with setting up, however, the more space available, the more impressive the show!

What are the power requirements for the band?
The band uses a separate power supply for both the PA and the lights, this means that we require a minimum of two 13amp power supplies (not two on the same extension but two individual supplies). If your event is being held in a marquee we strongly recommend that you check with your marquee provider, as they will be able to advise on power supply.

What about volume and noise levels?
The Harmonettes do not use a drummer. This means that we have total control over the entire volume of the band. In our experience
we recognise that you often need the band to be loud enough on the dance floor, to create an atmosphere, but not to be offensive to the rest of the room.

How long do you need to set up & sound check?
It takes around 90 minutes to set up and soundcheck. We prefer a cleared room for this.

Under no circumstances are members of the public permitted to use, borrow or interfere with any of our instruments or equipment. The gear we use is often specialised and expensive, therefore the insurance is specialised and expenseive. Damage to any of our equipment will ultimately effect our livelihoods.
