How long do you need to set up ?
The band normally take an hour to setup the equipment. This obviously depends on where you want the band play, for example up several stair cases will take longer than the ground floor. If access if an issue please tell us when making the booking as we may need to bring extra road crew.
Do you have any specific requirements?
For most bookings Texan Peacocks will require food and refreshments, the band will also require a changing room suitable for five persons with a mirror and hot running water. The stage area should be at least 4 x 3 metres with clear access at all times. Adequate power supplies are also required, please ensure the venue has the necessary electrical test certificates. We will ask you to confirm these details before taking a booking.
How long is your show?
Texan Peacocks have a large repertoire that can be tailored to your requirements. We can either play two sets with an interval or play without a break. Often we will play a more relaxed first set and get serious in th second, but ultimately the choice is yours. If you have any special requirements please let us know when you make an enquiry.
Is it possible to see you before booking?
Most of our gigs are private functions, however on occasion we do play at public venues. Please see the news section on this website for details about forthcoming public shows.
Will I need to book a disco as well as the band?
We can supply a DJ if required or we can play your favourite songs during intervals if you supply prepared CD's. Our PA system has a very good disco sound.
