- The quartet will require four chairs (without arms) in a performance space no smaller than 3.5 metres squared.
- If you require us to play outside adequate provision for shade from the sun and/or wind and rain cover must be provided. In most cases this means we will need a large gazebo with at least two sides.
- Performing outside is dependent on the weather conditions on the day of the booking and is entirely at the discretion of the musicians involved, as adverse temperatures and damp conditions can damage the instruments.
- Please ensure that there are soft drinks, tea and coffee available for the musicians.
- The musicians will take a 15 minute break after every hour of playing, please feel free to suggest a schedule if you'd like us to take our breaks at other times.
