Hiring Steelasophical For Outdoor Events

Steelasophical Steel Band is a popular entertainment choice throughout the year for outdoor events, but especially during the summer period which makes us perfect for all manner of outdoor events. Although it may be considered easy for other types of musicians to perform acoustically moving from location to location, the same cannot be said for Steelasophical Steel Band as we set and perform in one location.

This is actually a plus, as not only do we form a focal point, our setup ensures that the music will provide the backdrop throughout the entire space and be comfortably heard, thanks to the clarity and quality of our PA system having such a high SPL value.

To ensure your function run smoothly, always discuss your arrangements withSteelasophical Steel Band beforehand.  Alternatively, ask the Steelasophical upon arrival for their advice on what they consider to be the most suitable performance area. This will eliminate any setting, and re-setting of equipment.

For outdoor events, suitable protection against rain or direct sunlight cannot be provided, Steelasophical will provide our own fashionable gazebo. Perfect weather conditions cannot be guaranteed, and with steelasophical making use of quality electrical equipment, providing a gazebo will offer that mechanical barrier required. .. also helping to fulfil those Health and Safety conformities. 

The most suitable space required for Steelasophical would be 3m x 3m … the size of a standard gazebo. 

Although completely self contained, Steelasophical would require 1 x 13amp socket outlet. 

For later in the evening functions, Steelasophical Steel Band can provide ambient and FX lighting with great audience projection. This visual element will provide a perfect Music and visual atmosphere between the band, and your guests.

Performing out of vision, with no cover, or lighting, and away from guests, does nothing to enhance the performance. Performing is a two way thing, and Steelasophical love to be seen as well as heard, and always appreciate the reaction and interaction from an audience.

Public Liability Insurance covers you against injury to a third party and/or damage to their possessions. As most musicians and entertainers will require different levels of cover depending on the types of events they perform most insurers now offer tailor made policies. This will ensure that the policy holder is suitably covered, even for situations specific to their performance.

Venues are frequently asking musicians if they have their own Liability insurance before hiring them, so it’s best to organise this in advance, otherwise they may cancel your performance. All musicians, bands and entertainers hired for private functions, Weddings and Corporate Events must have Public Liability Insurance.

To avoid the chance of a third party making a claim against you it is important that you take all the necessary health and safety precautions when preparing for a live performance. It is important that all cables and leads are taped down with heavy-duty masking tape and all electrical equipment is PAT Tested.

Equipment must be set up as per the manufacturers instructions, or your insurance may not be valid!Most venues will have risk assessments in place for the events they hold so if in doubt ask the organiser for any health and safety tips.

Public Liability Insurance can vary in cost, so be sure to get at least two quotes to compare. Your insurance quote will be prepared using the information you provide; the more specific your needs, the greater the cost is likely to be.
