We will also play Scottish Ceilidh dances, on request and these are called by ourselves. With our experience of playing high-quality Wedding dances and Corporate Functions we "guarantee" that the dance floor will be filled all night

Is it possible to request something that's not in the repertoire?

We offer to learn a first dance, or special request for free so long as we are given adequate time to learn the song properly. Typically we'd ask for at least a month before your special event. We also offer couples a choice of songs from our current "first dance" list but we realise many couples often have a specific song they’d like us to learn

What is the length of time of the act?

Big Night Out can play LIVE for your entire evening. Typically for a wedding the band would start at 8pm taking a break around 9.45pm for approx 30 mins whilst your buffet is served (back ground music will be provided) then continuing on until Midnight. This means approx 3 1/2 hours of performance time. For corporate events the band would tend to start at 9.30pm and finish at 1am, including an approx 30 minute break ideal for doing a raffle or auction. Importantly, this means you don’t have to also book a DJ, as Big Night Out play all styles of music and will play throughout your evening

How much time do you need to prepare for an act?

It will normally take us around an hour, to unload and set up the equipment and then get changed into our formal clothing. However, this does depend on how easy the access into the venue is and also how large the venue is, as it effects the amount of equipment and lighting required. We will always arrive an hour before we are scheduled to start playing

Do you do open-air acts?

No

Do you charge per hour or per event?

Per event

If needed, would you be able to work extra hours?

Yes

How do you charge extra time?

Extra playing time and cost is agreed with the customer on enquiry

What are the forms of payment?

To confirm a booking, a small non-refundable deposit is made. The remainder of the fee is due at the beginning of the evening of your special event. All of the details are outlined in all of our paperwork that is sent our to each client
