Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Power at the front and back of the stage. Minimum two parking spaces near the stage door.


What information do you require about a venue?

We require the name of the venue and if there is an unusual route or loan-in, details of that as well. Also please inform us if there is a sound limiter. Some brief information about the size of the playing area would also be welcome.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We can play house music over our PA before and the first set and between sets. You're also welcome to plug your own player in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

All of them!


What's your favourite type of event?

Small outdoor festivals in the summer tend to be the best, along with sweaty little bar events.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

The band members bring their previous experience into Smoking Goats. The band started gigging in 2015 and has since spread out from its local area.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The influences of the band members show up in the song selection.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

The band is fully equipped to provide one or more night's entertainment, including PA and lighting. Two hours are required for setup and soundcheck. The band is fully insured and has its own transport to move all equipment required to your venue. The band can provide a front of house sound engineer, if required, for an additional fee. The band can also provide equipment hire and book support acts for larger events if requested.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are indeed, but require a flat surface and ample power. We also need adequate protection from the rain.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Generally it is our repertoire only, but with enough lead time, we may consider adding one or two songs upon request.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

High energy and getting people up dancing.


Can I request that the band remove expletives from song lyrics and make sure to not swear when talking to the audience between songs?

Generally we make the decision ourselves, based on the audience, but if no expletives is a strict requirement, feel free to tell us.


Will the band dress to a certain style?

We always dress up for gigs, but if you require something a little more formal (eg. suits and ties), make sure to let us know.
