Booking FAQs

From the moment we get into the venue, it takes us around 2 hours to setup and soundcheck. Ideally we'd like to be well out of the way by the time your guests/customers arrive so if you can, we'd prefer to be in 2.5/3 hours before doors open.

Ideally the stage, or space available for us to play should be around 6m wide by 3m deep. Much smaller and we're struggling to fit our equipment in, it may reduce what we can bring, and will limit the amount of movement in our performance - which is a shame. Larger is good for us 😄

As a band that runs a 'silent stage', electronic drum kit and in-ear monitors, we can actually play pretty quietly if required. The only people making unamplified noise are vocalists and our sax player. Obviously, too quiet though and it's hard to get a vibe going in the room, but we're happy to work to any restrictions you may have.

Our 'core' repertoire is around 100 minutes long, and we can split this however you wish.

Typically we'd perform two sets, the first around 45 mins, the second around 55 minutes with a break between.

Our fully self-contained show packages are typically tailored to the scale, location and specific needs of your party or event, and would usually include a professional PA system and lighting rig.

We can also optionally add a DJ which can work really well to wrap around the live performances.

Give us a call and we can chat through your requirements and give you an idea of budget.

Absolutely. Give us a call on 07786 550730 or email info@theguiltypleasureshouseband.com and we'll happily give you a secure login to download photos, current set lists, video clips, biographies, testimonials and other goodies.

For private parties, weddings and corporate events, yes, we ask for a deposit please to secure the date.

This is typically 25% of the agreed fee, and up to 3 months out is fully refundable if the event is cancelled. A cancellation between 90 days and 30 days will forfeit your deposit, and a show cancelled within 30 days of the agreed booking date will require full payment of the total agreed fee. All our terms will be clearly itemised in our performance contract.

We'd ask for at least 4 (two double is fine) 13A regular wall plug sockets to the sides or rear of the performance area. We carry long extension reels and can run cables from elsewhere, but for tidiness and safety, this is a last resort.

The atmosphere and ambience of our show is hugely enhanced by the use of our stage haze machine, and it's a real shame if we can't fire it up. This is significantly less likely to trouble fire/smoke alarm systems than a traditional 'smoke' machine, and it may be the case that in hotels and venues with sensitive systems, certain sensors can be covered, or circuits temporarily disarmed to accommodate this.

If this is not possible, we can of course run the show without it, but we'd strongly recommend pushing for it for the maximum experience!

12 cans of Quatro, Butterscotch Angel Delight, and a big bowl of Love Hearts with the 'Kiss Me' ones taken out.

Only joking - just a clean, private space to chill, change and get ready, and water/soft drinks/tea/coffee will keep us happy.

If the booking is a significant distance away from York/Leeds, or it's a full day and evening event we may need to discuss food, travel expenses and potentially accommodation. Get in touch though and we can chat about the specifics of your event. Any additional requirements would be agreed by both parties ahead of the date and itemised in our performance contract.
