When is payment due?

A 25% deposit will book your date, and the balance is due 14 days before the day of the event.

What do the acts need?

Our acts may have travelled long distances to reach you, so may require a hot meal when they arrive at the venue and soft drinks. As they’ll be bringing electrical equipment, a power supply is also essential.

What are CooperLive’s different line-ups?

When we provide a quote we will tell you how much the different sizes of band cost so you can choose a line-up according to your requirements and budget. To see what acts and services we can offer you, please see our services section.

How long do bands play for?

We usually play for 3 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 65 minute sets over a 2½ - 3 hour period. Please let me know if your requirements are different, and we are sure we can work something out, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Do you play recorded music during a bands break?

Yes, we can play music from an iPod. If you prefer you can provide your own, we can discuss the finer details of this when we give you a quote.

Can you play at our wedding ceremony/drinks reception/dinner as well as providing music for the evening?

Yes, this is something we do regularly. Please email us with your requirements. You may prefer to have a smaller combo earlier in the day (i.e. a duo or jazz quartet) and have the rest of the band arrive in the evening. But whatever your budget and requirements, we can find the perfect combination of music for you.

How much space do you need?

Probably less than you think, approximately 5m x 4m for a band. We are adept at fitting into unusual spaces! We can also play outside, but will need to be under cover in case of rain as our equipment is easily damaged.

How long does an act take to set up?

It usually takes us about 40 minutes to set up, and we aim to arrive an hour before the performance. If you would like us to arrive earlier to set up this is usually possible but may involve a small extra 'waiting fee'.

How far do you travel?

Nationwide but you may need to provide accommodation if you request a specific act who are located a long way from your event. Travel expenses are inclusive in a quote.

What if I have to cancel?

No problem, although your deposit is non-refundable.
