Wedding Band (bit ranty)

TheNinjaPigeon, 20 August, 2010 at 18:47 Posted on Planning 0 1

Am well ticked off with our band. We booked a band on the basis that the drummer is an old friend of the family. They play pubs and clubs around the Leeds and I know a few people who have seen them who say that they are really good. So I emailed them the 4 weeks to ask for a copy of their insurance certificate and PAT certificate for our venue so I can get all my paper work sorted. Yes it's 5 months away, yes I am that obsessed with getting everything done. I have heard nothing. Not a squeak. Sent a reminder the end of last week and still nothing. I need to know what's going on so I can make other arrangements if they haven't got the paperwork. I need to know now as another band will be so much more expensive than the mates rates I was being offered and will need to replan the savings! I don't want to just call the drummer at his home but I think I might have to

Ugh. Rant over........now - can anyone recommend a good wedding band in west yorkshire who'll also dj/play music either side of the live sets??

    Oh dear that is just pants, I would definately call the drummer and ask firstly if they have the documents you need and secondly when are they likely to produce them.

    Don't give up just yet if it's a good deal.

    Hi

    Hold on...Woo-woo is absolutely right. Pick up the phone and call him. You'll probably find that there is a perfectly simple explanation - perhaps their email is not working or they're on holiday (remember its august!).

    It will be very unlikely that they dont have PLI and PAT tested gear - its a necessity nowadays.

    Let us know how you get on
