Ask us to play for you

Distance

It is important that the venue is accessible from our base. We are based in Thurlby, near Bourne in Lincolnshire, about 14 miles north of Peterborough, and 10 miles north-east of Stamford. That gives us access to north-south and east-west rail, as well as major roads.

Event

We prefer concerts that are promoted for charitable fundraising. A fee is not always necessary, but it is nice.

Audience

We much prefer playing to an audience, than to an empty house, even if there is a fee.

Piano

Does the venue have an instrument? If not, we can bring one, so it isn't a deal-breaker, but it is more difficult. A keyboard needs one 13-amp socket.

Heating and toilet

Heating is absolutely essential in the winter. A toilet, or at least toilet arrangements, are essential all-year round.

Performance Space and Seating for Performers

We need a performance space about 5 metres across by 4 metres front to back. We need three chairs.

Length

Concerts can be either just under an hour (for a lunchtime or Sunday afternoon, for example), or an evening (with two halves of 30-40minutes plus interval).
