| Q: |
How much will it cost? |
| A: |
This depends very much on the individual circumstances of each event. Please contact us for a quote. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What kind of music do you play? |
| A: |
We primarily play Pop & Rock classics from the fifties to the nineties, right through to the latest chart hits, but also dabble in Blues, Funk, Soul, Disco and Jazz. Our pub sets tend to lean more towards classic rock songs, but have a wide range of tunes at our disposal - from ballads to rock n' roll, classic rock anthems to contemporary chart music, we have something for everybody.
Please see our Songs page for a brief summary of our most popular tracks, or download audio samples from the Demo Songs page. |
| |
|
| Q: |
How long do you play for? |
| A: |
Usually somewhere in the region of two hours, but this is largely up to you. Typically we will play 2 x 1 hour sets, with a 20-30 minute break in between but we can be flexible to fit in with whatever schedule you may already have. |
| |
|
| Q: |
How far will you travel? |
| A: |
This largely depends on your budget. We are based in, and play predominantly around, London and the Home Counties. However, we would consider most places in the UK, although travelling expenses and any accommodation would have to be reflected in the fee.
We are also happy to consider international travel upon request. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can I come and see you? |
| A: |
Naturally enough, most of our private functions are just that, but we heartily recommend that prospective clients come along to one of our public gigs to have a listen. We also have demo recordings available on our Demo Songs page. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do you do requests? |
| A: |
Of course! On the night we will always play any requests if we know them... and sometimes we'll give them a go even if we don't know them! For private events we welcome requests for your favourite songs, although the more notice you can give us the better! |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can one of my guests get up and sing or play with the band? |
| A: |
We welcome any one of your guests to come up and sing or play a song alone or with the band for a special dedication or just for fun. If you know ahead of time please notify the band so we may prepare the proper song, key, etc. to insure a professional performance the day of your event. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will the band have any special requirements at the event? |
| A: |
A suitable area to perform (see next FAQ: 'Will there be enough room for the band?' below) with at least 2-4 adjacent 240v power supplies. Access to changing facilities is sometimes desirable (particularly for more formal events) and basic refreshments help to keep us fuelled for a top performance. We usually require 2-3 parking spaces, one of which would be for a large, transit-style van.
Timing wise, we usually require an absolute minimum of 1-2 hours to set-up our equipment and carry out a suitable sound check. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will there be enough room for the band? |
| A: |
Chances are that your private venue will have at least as much space as some of the smaller pub venues, but a 14' x 10' minimum would be ideal. Minimum 6'4" headroom is also required, as well as suitable access for loading and unloading equipment. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Is the band covered under an insurance policy? |
| A: |
Yes, each band member is individually covered by a £1m Public Liability insurance policy. More details are available upon request. |
| |
|
| Q: |
How long has the band been together? |
| A: |
InDefinately has existed, in various forms, since 1999. The band in it's current line-up evolved between August 2003 and January 2004 and has been going strong ever since. The guys have all known each other for years and have a huge amount of musical experience under their belts. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Are the band members we see going to be the musicians we get? |
| A: |
The band is a rehearsed and set group, always performing with the same members. We have 'deps' who cover the occasional holiday or other absence, and who have rehearsed and gigged with us on many occasions. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What if a band member gets sick? |
| A: |
In the unlikely event that a band member is too ill to perform, he or she will be replaced by an equally talented performer. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What if we cancel our event? |
| A: |
Payment usually takes the form of a 10% non-refundable deposit. Half of the remainder is then payable no more than 28 days prior to the event and is also non-refundable. The remainder is then due on the night itself.
If you are able to give more than 28 days notice of cancellation, you will only be liable for the 10% already paid as a deposit. Less notice than this means that you will still be liable for the second installment, but not for the final 45%. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do I have to feed the band? |
| A: |
We would certainly appreciate the gesture, although it is by no means mandatory. We ask that you let us know so we may make provisions on our own if the band will not be fed. Snacks and soft drinks are usually ample.
Drinking water must also be available. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What does the band wear at private gigs? |
| A: |
Depending upon the event, the band will usually default to formal wear (suits or tuxedos) for private functions and weddings but we're happy to dress to suit your occasion. We'll even join in with fancy dress! If you'd rather we did not wear suits to your event, (so we look more like a band!) please be sure to tell us... and we will love you for it!
We tend to dress rather more casually at pub gigs so, if you are coming for a preview, please keep in mind that we do actually scrub up pretty well! |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do you play CDs ? |
| A: |
We have a professional CD player that connects to our full PA system. If you have a certain song or songs to be played we can accommodate the request. We can also provide suitable music before and after our set(s). |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will the band be too loud? |
| A: |
We take volume and sound quality issues seriously and can tailor our sound to meet the requirements of your event, your guests and the venue. As a pop and rock covers band we are usually playing music for people to dance to, but we are also able to provide 'calmer' acoustic music during dinner or when guests are arriving. Often we will tailor our set to feature more low-key songs during the first half, whilst your guests are talking and eating, and then turn up the excitement for dancing the night away. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Do you carry back up equipment? |
| A: |
We try to have contingencies for all of our equipment. We carry spare instruments, strings, cables, batteries, microphones and amplification to all gigs and private events. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Did you know that your name is spelled wrong? |
| A: |
Well spotted - but it is, in fact, based on the Ancient Greek 'En doofin artily', meaning literally: "dyslexic singers should never choose band names". It's just written... erm... in an unconventional, mould-breaking manner. Anyway... weird spelling never did Lynyrd Skynyrd any harm! Oh I don't know... ask Liam. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Didn't Lynyrd Skynyrd crash their plane into a swamp? |
| A: |
Now you're just being mean. |
