Will you perform in Central London?

Yes we do however, getting through London is time consuming and ultimately costly. Costs include: Congestion Charge, ULEZ (which is also charged again for post midnight travel) and parking fees. Timeframe is also an issue as the logistics of getting the equipment into London buildings and being able to park large vehicles can take hours. The travel expenses for venues located in central London are set at a price of £295.

Either we use an external logistics company to transport the equipment or in many cases the equipment can be hired abroad.

Do you require accommodation?

For events over 1 hour away from SG16 6PA then accommodation may be required. We do understand that providing accommodation can eat into the budget so we do our best to keep these expenses down and only ask for accommodation when it is necessary.
