Public liability and bands

I think you are understanding that correctly. It means you would have to pay for damage yourselves. Call your insurer and see if it's cover that you can add on for a small extra fee.

Hello

Great question. Firstly I really want to know what kind of wedding you are planning... it either sounds deliciously lairy and you're expecting some mad dance floor antics from guests, or you're being meticulously thoughtful and trying to cover yourself for every eventuality. Either way it's good to know these things!

You need to find out if your band have PLI insurance. You can look at this way, your insurance will cover your stuff and the band's insurance will cover any damage to their stuff.

Most professional bands will have PLI insurance. These guys go out so often that this insurance will often cover any accidental damage to their equipment, things happen!

Hey shameless plug but it's relevant, if you book through an agency like Warble then we ensure that every act or band will have the necessary PLI. In fact it's a requirement for joining the agency. However, this will be true for other agency bands too.

Let me know if you have any other questions about booking your band or if you're unsure about anything else.

Hi,

Any band that regulaly play weddings will have PLI and bandcare insurance in case of damage or theft etc.

Certainly check with your insurance but I would guess it's just badly worded in their contract.
