A tailored quote will include all other charges as notified to Entertainments Ltd.

PRICES
The prices are accurate at the date of publication of this website. Prices are intended as a guide for performances based on a typical arrival allowing the artist sufficient time to set up their equipment and perform all necessary checks to ensure a safe environment and a quality performance. All prices are a reflection of performers’ fees for standard dates. Additional fees may be required for peak seasonal performances and do not include ‘other charges’ – see below. You should consult us to obtain the latest prices for performances to suit your event. A guide to artists travel fees is advertised as an approximation for performances in that location. Comprehensive quotes will be provided on request that include all other charges.

OTHER CHARGES
Other charges include early arrival or set up times, extended performances, performances outside typical hours, increased number of performers, additional equipment such as PA, lighting or effects in addition to that already provided by the artist, overnight accommodation, flights and transfers.

BOOKINGS
Entertainments Ltd acts as an agent to all the artists featured within its portfolio, does not employ them directly for any bookings, and is not responsible for any loss, damage or injury incurred during any performance. All performance contracts are between the client and the band where:
ARTISTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR:
· Advising of any changes to their act which differs from that advertised on the Entertainments Ltd web site
· Advising Entertainments Ltd and the client when any deputy personnel will be used for performances due to illness or force majeure
· Providing a performance similar to that as advertised by Entertainments Ltd on our web site and promotional material
· Arriving, setting up and performing as per times outlined overleaf or, subsequently, negotiated with the client
· Providing all instruments, microphones, cables, PA, lighting or any other equipment deemed necessary for each performance except where a client has already arranged for equipment to be made available
· Ensuring the safety of all equipment used whilst on site and secure the safety of any persons in proximity of the equipment supplied
· Performing in a polite and professional manner whilst at any engagement and not to damage the reputation of any party involved
· Providing their own public liability insurance for each performance to the minimum value of £1 million
· Leaving the facilities as found on completion of the engagement
· Paying their own taxes, national insurance and VAT following each engagement

CLIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

· Providing or paying for adequate parking facilities for the artist’(s) vehicles
· Providing an appropriate and safe environment to perform in, which will include a covered performance area on a dry, flat surface under cover and with good access to loading/unloading facilities. Typically, a band will require a 4m x 3m performance area. This may vary depending on the number of performers
· Ensuring performers have access to suitable and secure changing facilities
· Ensuring adequate power supplies are available where appropriate. Typically, a band will require a minimum of 2 x 32 amp sockets. Extension leads, cables and other equipment will be supplied
· Advising of any sound restrictions at the venue or any other restrictions which may affect an artists’ access or performance
· Providing soft drinks, a hot meal or buffet for each artist

CONFIRMATION
One signed copy of this form must be returned within 7 days and, on receipt, Entertainments Ltd will secure the entertainment for your event and provide contracts to the artist(s) to secure their engagement. You should keep one copy for your records. The information overleaf forms the basis of artist contracts and it is important that information is accurate to ensure a successful performance. A representative will contact you 4 weeks prior to the performance date to ensure all information is current.

PAYMENT
All bookings must be secured by a signed booking form and a deposit as advised at the time of your booking.
Balances will be due to either Entertainments Ltd or the artist 21 days prior to the performance date. VAT will be charged @ 15% on any balance where Entertainments Ltd accepts monies on behalf of the artist. The artist will not accept cheques as balance of payment on the date of the event without prior consent. Cheques for balances must be made payable to the artist unless otherwise arranged. A representative will contact you 4 weeks prior to your event to advise on balance payments.

CHANGES TO YOUR BOOKING
IF YOU MAKE CHANGES
For advice on amending a booking, please contact us.
It may be possible for extended performance times to be negotiated directly with the artist on the performance date.
Any major changes to the original booking will incur a £25 administration fee and any appropriate charges on behalf of the artist such as extended performance times, additional performers etc.

IF THE ARTIST MAKES CHANGES
Where an artist (or member of an act) is unable to attend a performance due to illness or ‘force majeure’, a deputy or alternative will be provided of similar quality and experience to that performer. Any deputy provided should not affect the quality of any entertainment. All artists agree to advise Entertainments Ltd should their act change from that advertised by Entertainments Ltd.

CANCELLATIONS
To cancel a booking, the client must send Entertainments Ltd a signed cancellation instruction in writing. This instruction must be sent to Entertainments Ltd at the address on your booking confirmation. Cancellation takes effect on the date we receive your letter.
The outstanding balance/full performance fee will be due to the artist for cancellations made within 90 days of the performance date. Cancellations outside of 90 days of the performance date will result in the loss of any deposit paid.
All cancellations will incur a £25 administration fee. Outstanding payments from bookings and cancellations will be referred to our legal department if not received within 28 days of the due date.

IF THE ARTIST CANCELS
When the artist agrees to the performance either verbally, by email or in writing, the artist will be unable to cancel the booking for any reason other than those highlighted by ‘Force Majeure’.

All artists must notify Entertainments Ltd immediately where a performance cannot be fulfilled as indicated in their contract. Failure to do so may result in action being taken by the client against the artist for non-fulfilment of their contract. Any artist cancelling their performance will be liable to additional fees where an alternative artists’ fee supplied by Entertainments Ltd exceeds the original artists’ fee. In addition, a £25 administration fee will also be incurred. Any action taken by the client for non-fulfilment of booking is between the client and the artist. In addition, action taken by any client will not prejudice the right of Entertainments Ltd taking action against the performers for damages or loss incurred by Entertainments Ltd.

Where Entertainments Ltd is aware that an artist is unable to attend, we will take all reasonable steps to find a suitable replacement for the performance. If unable to do so, a full refund will be given.

POSTPONEMENTS
If, due to Force Majeure, your event needs to be rescheduled, bookings must be rearranged for a performance within 12 months of the originally booked performance. Where an artist is not available to perform on a re-aranged date, a postponement will be treated as a cancellation.

RE-ENGAGEMENT
The client and artist agree that subsequent bookings within a 12 month period, from any artist provided by Entertainments Ltd will be booked directly with Entertainments Ltd and not with the artist directly.

DATA PROTECTION POLICY
Entertainments Ltd operates and is registered in accordance with applicable data protection legislation in the UK. To ensure that your performance runs smoothly, we need to use information such as your name and address, contact details as provided to Entertainments Ltd. We will apply appropriate security measures to protect this data. However, we must pass it on to artists. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, we cannot provide your booking. When you make this booking, you consent to this information being passed to the relevant people. We can supply a copy of your information held by us; there is a small charge for providing this.
