Technical

There are five of us in the band. Eric requires a stool or a chair without arms, while the rest of us stand.
We require at least two foldback monitors, with separate mixes. We need mains supply for pedals and amps at both the front and back of the stage.

Our stage plan:

Flatworld Stage Plan

Vo
DI: Bass amp
Tim

Mic: Recorder (on a boom)
Neil
DI: Guitar amp (an Ashdown Acoustic Radiator 1)
Mic: Vocals (on a boom)
Kimberly
DI: Violin pickup (a Fishman V-100) via Boss Digital Delay pedal — a ¼" mono jack socket
Mic: Vocals (on a boom)


DI Box   Eric's djembe   Neil's guitar amp: Ashdown Acoustic Radiator 1

We're an acoustic band, not a drums-and-guitar rock band, so the PA needs to be configured and operated accordingly.

If we're providing the PA then all we require is a 13 Amp mains socket within reasonable distance of the performance area — we don't want the audience tripping over extension leads (as they invariably miss the beat).
