We recommend a flat and sheltered stage area of at least 3x3 meters for a 3-piece band – then add an extra metre squared per band member that you have booked.
A raised stage is preferable for maximum impact but our bands are flexible to all kinds of set ups!

Our price promise means that, if another agency offers you one of our
Sussex party bands for a lower price or on better terms, we’ll match
their offer. And you won’t have to worry about hiring a separate DJ, as
many of our acts provide a free DJ service when they’re
not playing.
