    2. Booking will only be considered confirmed on receipt of a non-refundable booking deposit of 25% of the total amount and signed booking agreement, further confirmed by Mrs R's Retro Roadshow in writing by return. The deposit will be deducted from the total final amount due. Methods of payment appear in the invoice email and on the invoice itself.

  3. Venue
    1. The Client warrants all Venue details given are correct as per the booking form.
    2. The Client warrants that they are entitled to use the Venue for the purposes of the Event and performance and that the Event does not breach any law, bye-law or conditions imposed on the property.
    3. The Client is responsible for ensuring all required premises licensing is in place for the Event including necessary entertainment (PRS) and alcohol licences.
    4. Adjustment of the volume and sound level of any equipment shall be as the Client or Venue reasonably requires. The Client is responsible for checking with their Venue if a sound limiter is fitted and what effect this may have on their event. Should the presence of a sound limiter prevent the DJ from performing or detract from the DJ’s performance in any way, the DJ cannot be held responsible. If, in the view of the DJ, the operation of the sound limiter poses a risk to our equipment, we reserve the right to end the performance without penalty.
    5. The DJ or Mrs R's Retro Roadshow will under no circumstances be held responsible if the Venue is found to be in breach of the terms of their licence.
    6. If on the date of the event the DJ finds major Venue differences which will impact the performance, the DJ will in the first instance attempt to resolve the matter with the Client but reserves the right to modify or in extreme cases reduce or cancel the performance.
    7. Atmospheric effects may be used to complement our lighting setup such as smoke, low fog, or haze machines. If you prefer that we do not use such effects or the Venue does not permit it, you must inform us prior to the Event.
  4. Music Preferences and Playlist Requests
    1. Requests during the event will be taken solely at the DJ's discretion and played if they are available and appropriate in their professional judgement.
    2. Music preferences and any specific music requests should be confirmed with Mrs R's Retro Roadshow at least 7 days prior to the event date to give us sufficient time to prepare.
    3. The Client understands that the nature of Mrs R's Retro Roadshow is dependent on the availability of 7" vinyl records and its condition thereof. While we cannot guarantee the availability of specific songs we will do our best to fulfil your preferences.
    4. No provision will be made to connect the Client's own equipment to our own equipment, or modify Mrs R's Retro Roadshow's setup under any circumstances.

    2. A stage area of approximately 4 metres wide and 2.5 metres deep is required, although we will do our best to work with any space constraints there may be. The Client must advise of any space constraints in advance of the Event.
    3. The stage area must not be close to any major heat source (such as open fires, radiators or space heaters).
    4. The Client is responsible for the provision of a suitable and safe electricity supply, with a minimum of two 13A mains sockets no further than 5m from the staging area. If we consider the electricity supply or any other aspect of the event is unsafe then we reserve the right to refuse to start or continue the performance after consultation with the Client. In the event of this, refunds will not be given.

Where the Event is being held in a marquee or external Venue, the Client will ensure the work area is dry, flat, weather protected, suitably floored and that a minimum of two 13A voltage regulated, correctly wired and earthed electricity supplies are located close to the setup area.
