To plan for the accommodation
of a string quartet is not the sort of thing that most mortals do
every day.
The notes below are to try and allow us to prepare you and ourselves
for a trouble free performance.
Seating
Please make sure that there are four chairs available with
straight backs and no arms.
We sit in a semicircle with a radius of about 10 feet. Please
allow sufficient space so that we do not interfere with your
guests!
We prefer to play away from open doors and draughts and within
easy earshot of guests.
We can play outside unless there is enough wind to blow our
music away!
Lighting
The performance area should be well lit and a standard lamp
is ideal. (Please let us know if we need to bring our own lighting)
Breaks
As a guideline we try to take a break of about 10 minutes
after playing for an hour.
We will do our best to fit in with your schedule and time our
playing to coincide with your plans.
Fees
A non-refundable deposit of £50 is payable with the
initial booking.
Our fee includes all expenses, travelling, agent commissions
and management costs.
Times quoted on the booking form are actual playing times
and we do not add costs for additional travelling and setting
up time.
We ask that the balance of fees after the deposit is made
in advance.
We do not charge VAT.
