The stage area must be flat, dry and even and made from a solid material of sufficient strength to support the band and their equipment. The performance area must be a minimum of 7m (23ft) wide by 3.5m (11ft) deep. We require 2 x13 amp main sockets for the PA system and instruments and 2 x 13 amp sockets for the lighting system.
Accuate directions to the venue. All information regarding load in and set-up requirements. Available parking for our vehicles. We also require a dressing room with power. Does the venue have a sound limiter in place.
We are completely self contained. We supply our own PA and sound engineer plus stage lighting.
Yes, we can supply a Spotify playlist to play between sets. Happy for the client to choose the music or to organise it ourselves.
We've performed at the Hillier Gardens Summer Soul Concerts for two consecutive evenings. It's an outdoors picnic concert and truly magical to entertain such a fabulous happy appreciative audience.
We're lucky enough to enjoy a wide range of gigs. Everything from large outdoor events, festivals and weddings and birthday parties. We also love smaller, intimate gigs in pubs and clubs. As long as we can entertain and interact with an audience, we're happy.
All members of Madison Heights have had previuos experience playing in lots of bands over many years. We got together through a love of classic soul and Motown music and by the show band, suited and booted, 1960s bands put on a slick performance.
We love lots of soul and Motown acts and why try and incorporate a lot of their songs into our stage show. Artistes such as; Sam & Dave, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire and Kool & The Gang. Great musicians who all recorded iconic soul music!
Yes, we always perform with the full band. We have found that to create our unique Soul and Motown sound, it's very diffucult to re-create with fewer band members.
We like to allow 90 minutes for set up and sound check. We also require time to get ready and change into our stage clothes. Our regular performance times are 2 x 60 minute sets, plus encores. These timings seem to suit the majority of our events. However, we can be flexible and happy to play for shorter or longer times.
No problem to perform on an outdoor stage with an adequte power supply. Under cover is preferable, you can never guarantee dry weather in the UK!
We're happy to discuss our set list with a potentail client if requested and we're always OK to include their favorite songs from our repertoire. We can learn specific songs, as long as the song fits our style and genre.
Here's a recent testimonial, this speaks for itself:
Thank you so much to Madison Heights who played at my daughter’s wedding and totally made the reception a night to remember! The Band are amazing and their music encouraged everyone find their dancing feet until the early hours!!! The Band members are very professional and courteous but equally lots of fun!! The wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them as they brought great energy to the room and we’ve been hearing very complimentary comments from our guests ever since!! Thoroughly recommended for any event you may be planning - don’t hesitate!
