How long do you take to set up?
Would like to allow approx 1 hour for the 'get in', PA set up and sound check. The band will always run through a few numbers to fully balance the sound to the venue prior to each performance. Therefore, it is important that you account for this in your schedule. The band will need to make some noise albeit it of the musical kind.
