How much do you charge? Are there any other charges above and beyond the quoted price?
Show / Hide Answer
This is the first thing most people want to know, so we thought we would answer it first. The answer is: it depends. Our rates are set according to the type and date of event, playing times, arrival and finish times, distance to travel and size / line up of the band required. The price we quote will be the price you pay. We will never pass any 'by-the-way' charges on to you, ever.

How do we check your availability, get a quote and book the band?
Show / Hide Answer
There are 3 ways. The most simple is to give us a call on 07973 765123 and speak to Mike or Kim, discuss the arrangements, we'll give you a quote and if you are happy we'll issue a contract confirming the booking. Send it back with a deposit payment and we're all set. The second option is to complete our contact form. This gives us all the information we need to give you a quote. Alternatively, just e-mail us at: info@dancineasy.co.uk. We will then contact you to discuss things.

How long do you require to set up?
Show / Hide Answer
Dancin' Easy usually requires approximately 1 hour to set up. We try and set up well before the event begins and people arrive. Sometimes the timing of the event prevents this but as soon as the room is available we are there. It is necessary for the band to carry out a 'sound check' to ensure the sound quality and volume level is appropriate for the room and guests.
