    FAQs

    What time will you arrive at the venue?
    At least an hour before the booking is due to start. This gives us plenty of time to set up, tune up and change in to our colour-matching gowns.

    Will you need refreshments?
    Just a glass of water or a coffee will normally do nicely, but you don't need to worry about that, we'll ask the staff when we arrive. If the booking is a long one then some sandwiches are really appreciated.

    Do you need to take a break?
    Yes, we usually play for 50 minutes then take a ten minute break. So if for example you have us booked for three hours we'd take two breaks within that time.

    Do you play outside?
    We're very happy to play outside as long as the weather is warm, dry and not windy, but please make sure you arrange this with us in advance. Stringed instruments can get damaged in hot sun so we'll need to make sure some adequate shade is available, usually the venue will have a gazebo or large parasol we can set up under. 

    Do you learn requests?
    Absolutely! Nearly any tune is possible, just ask.

    The venue has asked me if you have Public Liability Insurance - what do I need to do about that?
    We do have PLI. The easiest thing is if you give the venue our contact details and we can deal with them directly and send them a copy of our certificates if they'd like to see them. 

    Will you be loud enough?
    Both the harp and cello have a lovely, rich acoustic sound and carry well. For bigger bookings we provide our own amplification so the music can be heard whatever the size of your event.
