Mark Ritchie - The Stage
Groove 2 Q are an excellent and well presented function-style attraction, with a very accomplished five piece line-up, fronted by a female vocalist. The band played everything from rock to reggae, but in all honesty they could probably have played anything.

Between 1 – 2.5 hours depending on ease of access and the amount of equipment and lighting required for your event.

Groove 2 Q perform at a wide variety of venues from village halls to large country estates, theatres and hotels. We will also perform in marquees or outdoors, under cover, weather permitting. Any venue will be considered.
Q. How much space do you need?
Generally a stage 6.0m by 3.5m is adequate for our performance, however any reasonable area will be considered.
Q. How far are you willing to travel?
We are more than happy to perform anywhere in the world so long as it is financially viable.
Q. How far in advance should I book you?
As early as possible! Popular dates are often booked 6 – 12 months in advance, but please check with us as we can be available at very short notice if the date is free.
Q. Are there any hidden costs?
Absolutely not, the price we quote is the price you pay.
Q. Is there anything we need to do after we have secured the date with Groove 2 Q?
Not a thing, once we have received confirmation of your event, our technical team will liaise with the venue and/or the organisers to ensure everything on our part is dealt with well in advance. You will then receive telephone confirmation in the week prior to your event, so all that is left for you to do is enjoy the show.
Q. How long are your performance times?
There are no hard and fast rules but generally speaking we perform for 2 x 45 / 60 minute sets, however each client has different requirements so we often arrange performance times to suit you. We are of course able to play CD music for dancing during breaks.

Yes please. We request the room is clean, lockable and private, and preferably has a mirror and washing facilities. Please note that toilets are NOT suitable changing facilities.
Q. Do I need to arrange meals for you?
Not necessarily, but we would appreciate a meal being arranged for us as our ‘working day’ is often in excess of 12 hours. This need not be the same meal as you are having – most venues can provide hot food or sandwiches for the band at little cost, but generally this needs to be ordered in advance.

Yes, a mains power supply close to the performance area is preferred with a minimum of FOUR SEPARATE 13 amp sockets (not a single 4 block extension lead).

Please also note adequate mains power (see above) should be made available in close proximity to the performance area (see above).
