Christmas "Amycrofters Plus" with Doug Middleton

The Band justifiably consider their stage sets to be the best in the business. There are two Band consoles, one in Black with logos and other information in white, and the other has black designs on a white background. The stage is always tidy. Visible wiring is kept to a minimum. All extraneous kit is removed. The Band has a variety of matching outfits. They also dress the part for different events. When necessary they illuminate the stage with

light rope, spotlights and floodlights.  The PA used is chosen to meet the    needs of the event. Most events use just two speakers, but four, or even eight can be used if required. This is not only to give higher volumes of sound but more spread. There are other touches to the PA. Controls can be adjusted whilst playing. The sound of the band is “amplified / acoustic”, rather than electronic. Sometimes the accordion is played through a string bass unit (The Bonger!) this is one of just two in the country. It gives an effect similar to a bass guitar.

There are also other pieces of kit but wait till you hear them! In short, the band can meet the needs of any venue, from the smallest gig to those with over a thousand people.

 

Depending on the occasion the band may decorate the stage for the event. eg Valentine Day, Seaside, Farm, Halloween etc. We aim to please the eye as well as the ear!
