Set structure varies more than most people expect. A typical evening booking is two 45-minute sets with a break, and many bands supply a DJ playlist to cover the gap so the music never stops. Confirm how early the act needs access for setup, whether the venue has a sound limiter, and whether the band will learn a specific song for a first dance.

Photo of One Eyed Cats One Eyed Cats "So, according to the One Eyed Cats website they are a … High-octane rock & roll, cool blues, jumping rhythm, driving rock or a hair-down sing-along, the Cats always deliver. And deliver incredibly well. Their large line up is suited to their huge sound, with a fiery brass section, rocking guitar and rolling piano. Their music is always lively, passionate and entertaining. They always aim to lift the roof off, rock socks off and leave everybody fully entertained – having had a good laugh, boogie and night. All with immense enthusiasm, fine humour and unquestionable musicianship. As cheesy as it might sound, I have to agree! I was at a gig last week in the Brewery Tap, Peterborough, a very popular and well established pub, Thai restaurant and micro brewery, if you’ve never been before then make sure you go because if you like a quiet pub there’s a spot in a corner for you (they have good beer) and if you like it louder then there’s loads of different DJ nights, soul music, bands, a Prince tribute night is coming soon and tomorrow they have The Peterborough Big Band. So back to the gig, It was a Thursday of a bank holiday weekend no less, so it was bound to not be a normal Thursday night! The crowd had had food, were drinking after work, any band would do well but the Cats brought a little something different tonight, they have many years of gigging experience behind them and they turned up, plugged in and rocked the place! The Cats filled the dance floor and by end of the night left everyone wanting more. All the band are brilliant musicians, you definitely wont see any backing tracks here, they seemed to enjoy the night as much as the crowd so if you want a good night out go find the Cats and bring your friends!" Based in Peterborough, England Lucy - Brewery Tap, Peterborough Photo of Radius 45 Radius 45 "Thank you Radius 45 for an absolutely superb performance for New Year's Eve. We've had nothing but praise from all of our customers. Everyone was up, dancing and singing along. We'll definitely be booking you guys for future events. Thanks again." Based in Peterborough, England Laura Donaldson - Onesto Group Photo of Deeping Dixielanders Deeping Dixielanders "Thank you, we thoroughly enjoyed your music and it made our party. Will look out for your dates next year Best wishes Susan x" Based in Market Deeping, England (8 miles from Peterborough) Susan - 80th Birthday Party Photo of Venus & Mars Venus & Mars "The band set up all through the one system to keep the volume at a suitable level for a BBQ in my garden. The performance was outstanding and they were friendly, professional and most of all great fun. Definitely recommend them!" Based in Corby, England (19 miles from Peterborough) Franklin - Private BBQ Photo of John Barry/Johnny Cash/Glen Campbell trib John Barry/Johnny Cash/Glen Campbell trib "John, you gave us a cracking night considering the age difference of the party goers you read the audience spot on, providing a great array of music. All enjoyed it, thank you" Based in Littleport, England (25 miles from Peterborough) Michael Sheridan - Birthday party Photo of Footloose Footloose "Martin and Roy played at my Birthday Party and it was absolutely Brilliant! The Dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing to the end of the evening. Everybody said how much they enjoyed the music. It was all the songs we new from the 60's to the 90's and some contemporary ones too. The sound was fantastic. It really sounded like a 6 piece band with backing vocals all at just the right volume. If you want a great fun band that can play all your favorite hits then look no further than Footloose. Their vocals and guitars were fantastic and the extra instruments they played on the backing were spot on. Thanks Footloose" Based in Grantham, England (29 miles from Peterborough) Maggie Jamneson - Birthday Party
