How much time do you need for set up & sound check?
We can be set up and sound checked within 45 minutes of gaining access to the performance area.
What are your standard performance times?
Our usual start time is 8pm, but it can be earlier if required. Break around 9.30 to fit in with any catering arrangements, then play from around 10pm until Midnight.
I'm not sure what my timings are going to be yet, is there any flexibility on the standard timings?
We're complete flexibility on timings and we’re happy to fit in with any individual requirements.
How long do you take for your break? Are you able to play background music during this time?
Usual break length is around 30 minutes, and we supply background music. If you wish you can provide us with a play list of your favourite songs.
Can I pick the songs that you'll play on the night?
We will endeavour to include as many songs you request as possible, however given the nature of a wedding reception we need to be able to mix and match our song selections to fit in with the ever-changing audience dynamic.
Will you learn our first dance if it's a song that you don't already know?
We're very happy to learn the first dance for our clients. We feel Platinum Band are particularly well suited to this as we are all trained musicians that can read music and vocalist Danielle is capable of singing virtually any song you choose.
Please see our posts on Facebook where there are many examples of us performing first dance choices.
Can you take any requests on the night?
Always delighted to take requests on the night, we regularly do this!
My venue has a 1am license, do you offer an extension to keep the night going until then?
Extension options include either arranging to play for another hour or alternatively we can provide a banging DJ set. This has proved very popular with past clients.
Do you offer any other add-on options?
We can provide a laid-back daytime set to provide music during and immediately after your ceremony.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Sound and light equipment is included in our quote. All items have a current PAT testing certificate and the band is fully covered by Public liability insurance.
What do you think your clients love most about your performances?
We really love what we do and it comes across in every performance. Our audiences feed off our passion for the music and their buzz feeds our groove.
We get completely lost in the performance and love to jam out - making every show unique to your event.
Clients love that we are approachable from booking to discuss and tailor our set list and break playlists to their specific tastes.
Which artists are you most influenced by?
Too many to list. All band members have decades of experience in the music business and the songs we play are carefully curated to cover different decades and a wide range of styles.
No genre or decade is off limits with Platinum Band who are well versed in adapting our set list to ensure a crowded dancefloor.
Can you provide a ceilidh set? If so, could you give us more info about this - how long does it last, what instruments do you play, can you call the dances for our guests?
We can provide an exceptional fully live ceilidh set with accordion.
We can do up to 8 different ceilidh dances, possibly more if needed so potentially 1.5 hours of material.
Our keyboard player Fraser is an award winner accordionist and can play any ceilidh required with backing from bass, drums & guitar. We can also call the dances
