Standard Procedure

Disco from the 70s is the backbone of a Standard Procedure night, with funk, pop and party anthems pulled in around it. Expect Tina Turner, the Bee Gees, Shocking Blue, ABBA, Village People and Stevie Wonder, all aimed squarely at the dance floor. It's a five-piece band, and two crew come along to run the sound and lighting, so the production arrives already sorted. Give them time to check out the room and set up, plus 240 volt power (32 amp three-phase also works), and a clear word from you about sound check timing and whether smoke machines are allowed. They're happy to come early for a sound check. The show scales to suit the room. Based in Bendigo, they carry public liability insurance, their gear is tested and tagged, and they travel up to 500 km.
