The True Colours

What do we need to provide for you to perform?

We are self-contained and bring everything we need to perform, however we will need electricity and a suitable performance space. If performing outside we will need to be under cover. Please refer to our technical specifications below for our power and spacial requirements:

Duo:
Power Requirements: A minimum of 2x 240v power outlets
Spatial Requirements:1.5m x 2m (5ft x 6 ft) floor space 2m (Must have cover from elements if outside)

Note: as a duo we can offer a portable amp that does not require mains power. Please let us know in advance if this would be appropriate. 

Band:
Power Requirements: A minimum of 2x 240v power outlets 
Spatial Requirements :4m x 2m (13ft x 6 ft) floor space 2m (7ft) vertical space (Must have cover from elements if outside)

We'll need parking nearby and load in access at pre agreed times. If possible a small green room space is great and we always appreciate being included in catering plans. 

How long do you need to set up?

We recommend an hour from arrival as a duo and an hour and a half for a band set up, including sound check time. This is noisy, and best done before your guests arrive. We will require parking close to where we are performing, and if there are any access issues this could increase the set up time. Once we know your event timings and your venue information we can work out the best times to set up in advance.

What equipment is included?

 We will provide everything we need to perform, and we will need to know details about the venue size and capacity and any sound limitations in advance so we bring the best sound equipment for the gig.  Please note that for safety and insurance reasons we do not allow use of our equipment by anyone other than band members. For extra large events and venues, we may require external sound team and can quote for this.

Do you DJ?

We offer a Playlist DJ service between sets, you can provide us with your ultimate DJ playlist for us to plug in! We are also happy to work with a separate DJ, and will liaise with them on staging and timings. If you have DJ playlist requests, we ask that you make these in advance so we can guarantee them on the night.

How long do you perform for?

We include up to 2 hours of live music in 2-3 sets, in our standard pricing, and we finish live music by 11pm. Extra sets, and later finishes or earlier starts can be added on subject to our schedule. 

Can we choose the set list?

We love collaborating on creating the perfect set list with our clients. We will discuss the song choices in our consultation, you can pick artists and songs from our repertoire that we will include. We include learning a first dance or special song request if it's not already in our repertoire per event. Unfortunately we cannot learn entire set lists of new songs, as our performing schedule does not allow for this, and we pride ourselves on high-quality, rehearsed material. 

Are you insured?

Yes. Our Musicians Union membership includes extensive equipment insurance and Personal Liability Insurance. We will provide certification. We can also provide our latest PAT Testing certificate for our equipment as needed.

Can we see you live?

We'd love to see you at a gig! Most of our work comes from people who have seen us perform and word of mouth. Most of our performances are at private events, but we post any public dates on our Facebook page and gig calendar, and you can email us at hello@thetruecoloursmusic.com for more on upcoming gigs. If you aren't able to make it in person, do check out our videos on Instagram and YouTube where we regularly share live content.
