Olly Sax Female solo saxophonist

Every event and venue has its own specific requirements which we discuss before the performance preparation.

As a minimum basic settings, I need a high heels safe performance space, table for the equipment, music stand or tablet holder with stand.
Digital mixer with 6 mono input and 2 mix/aux output (minimum requirements), 2 units wedge stage monitor speakers (linked), PA speakers, 1 unit power outlet with 4 power channel on the stage (type C/E/F 2 pins grounded power outlet).

The setup is always a subject to discuss for every event and can be very different.

Timing, Location, Provided equipment

I don't provide sound and lighting systems, however I use my own wireless microphone and effects.

Sure, it's not a problem to play background music that will compliment the atmosphere of the event during the breaks.

Usually I perform 2x45 minutes or 3x30 minutes sets, maximum is up to 3x45 minutes sets. But the timing may vary according to the client's request and the event format.

I freqently perfrorm outside, especially at the wedding ceremonies or at the beach club parties or other open-air events.
In this case I may ask for shade or rain protection, portable fan, some flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. It is always good idea to have a backup plan in case of extreme weather conditions.

Usually I prepare the set list by myself after we discuss with the venue or the client, what kind of music atmosphere and mood they would like to create. I can also learn specific songs before the event but it's usually limited to 3-5 songs and I should be notified in advance. The clients are welcome to pick some songs from my repertoire as well.
