Amy: vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard
Eric: vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar

- 3 vocal microphones – Shure SM58s (NOT Beta 58s) on boom stands
- 2 microphones on guitar amps - SM57s
- 1 mono direct box for Amy’s acoustic guitar
- 1 stereo direct box for samples from laptop
- No DI for keyboard or bass guitar

Monitoring: 2-way - preferably 2 x 2 wedges with an extra wedge by the keyboard.

No obvious reverb or echo effects on the vocals or guitars please.

Generally no guitar amp signal in monitors.

Please no compression on vocals or guitars. We have our own dynamics – compression tends to interfere with this.

Acoustic guitar and laptop stuff must be loud in all monitors.

Amy’s acoustic guitar just goes through the D.I.

Amy’s keyboard goes through her amp (no D.I.)

Eric’s bass guitar goes through his amp with no D.I.

Please don’t mute the acoustic guitar at any time during the performance – we take care of this ourselves.

Lighting

Given the limitations of most of the venues we play in all we ask is for the lighting to be moody and warm - predominantly red and orange, NOT blue, green, purple, violet or lavender. We would prefer that only the area around the vocal mics is lit, the rest should be left in shadow.

General conditions

The stage should be swept clean of all debris - beer bottle tops, broken guitar strings, bits of old gaffa tape, cigarette ends etc. All beer crates, spare mic stands, other bands equipment, spare amplifiers etc should be cleared away from the stage. The stage is our working environment and we would prefer to find it clean and tidy.

The stage must be kept clear of all opening bands equipment during the time of our performance.
