FRONT OF HOUSE
DRINKS
We have no particular objections allowing the audience to take drinks into the auditorium. We do request
that the FOH sound and lighting desks are cordoned in such a way to prevent any customers accidentally
spilling drinks onto expensive electrical equipment. Also see Audience Participation below.

AFTER SHOW
The band will come out to the audience / merchandise area after the show and will require one signing
table / cordoned off area.

PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEO RECORDING

We all know that you’re fighting a losing battle stopping people taking pictures/videos on mobile phones,
so only stop this activity if it is becoming a nuisance to others in the audience. However, please ensure
the venue ushers are vigilant in stopping the audience using professional photographic / recording
equipment.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
We fully expect people will occasionally get up and dance and we encourage this! This is a high-energy
rock concert, not a lounge act. However, we kindly request that NO drinks are allowed to be rested on the
edge of the stage.

In addition, there is a section of the show that we bring ladies on the stage to dance to “The Way You
Make Me Feel”. Please provide suitable mobility (i.e. stairs) onto the stage to ensure your house safety
guidelines so that all participants can move quickly, safely and leave happy!

REQUESTS / DEDICATIONS
If given proper notice, we are willing to give a birthday “shout out” during the show. Multiple requests are
okay within reason, but to the discretion of our lead singers and artist management.
