Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not answered by the following FAQ section, please feel free to contact us!

What areas do you cover?

Gasoline Alley is based in Essex and travel all over the UK. Call or e-mail for a price for your area!

When will you arrive & how long does it take for you to set up your equipment?

We like to be set-up and sound checked before any of your guests arrive this can take 60 – 90minutes subject to ease of access. This gives us time to ensure the sound is set correctly for the room, instruments are tuned and everyone is changed and ready for a fantasic night of entertainment.

Can I see you play live?

Most of our functions are private and closed to the public, but if you wish to come along to one of our rehersals you are more than welcome. To get an idea of the essence of the duo or band we do play pubs and clubs, check our gig list to see if we are anywhere near you.

Can you send me a demo?

Yes call or e-mail and we will be happy to send you our demo. Or click here to listen now! How do I make a booking? Call or e-mail to check availability.

Can I request a specfic song?

Yes you can. Just supply us with your chosen song on CD at least 3 months prior to your event.

Have you got a PAT certicate and Public Liability?

Yes.

Will you play in a venue with a noise limiter fitted?

Like most other bands we prefer not to play through noise limiters as they can result in frequent and embarrassing 'cut outs' in the music. Not only would this ruin the event for you and your guests but it could also damage our equipment. We always try to maintain good volume levels but at anytime if you feel the music is too loud or too quiet, please let us know and we can adjust it accordingly. However, if the venue you want does have a limiter fitted we will work to ensure that we are completely volume controlled by our drummer using his electronic kit which will lower the overall volume which in most cases eliminate issues with limiters.

How long do you play for?

Normally we play 2 x 1 hour sets or 3 x 45 minute sets (with music in between to keep the atmosphere alive.)

What happens when you are not performing between sets?

We have a large catalogue of music to play before and in between our sets to keep the party flowing. No need for a DJ, we can provide music all night long!

How do I pay and do you require a deposit?

We take a £100 deposit to confirm the booking, non refundable if cancelled with less than 3 months notice. Balance of payment can be settled in cash on the day of the function or by cheque 10 days prior to the performance. For prices and availability call: 07759 140379

Do we need to provide food for you?

Yes please. In the case of a wedding or function often it can be a number of hours from the time we leave our front doors to the time we get back home, so a little nourishment would be much appreciated. We are happy to join the guests at the buffet, or some sandwiches or assorted snacks for 2 (if the duo) or 4 people.

Do we need to provide A changing room?

This would be helpful where possible, as most venues are happy to arrange an area where we can change free of charge.

Do you have any lighting?

We have a full LED light show rig complete with moving lights and fog machine to create the perfect atmosphere for your event
