How many people are in Tux Fizz?Tux Fizz are made up of 20 exceptionally talented musicians and tech engineers. We don't use deps or 'contract' musicians - every member of the band is a dedicated band member who has been with us for many years. All of our team are handpicked based on their exceptional talent and then extensively trained on how to deliver a Tux Fizz performance. This means regardless of the individuals in the lineup, the music and performance is given with the same passion, interaction and Tux Fizz flair. This approach has enabled us to grow and thrive over the years, allowing us to cover for illness (we've never had to cancel a booking or let a client down), handle maternity and send out multiple teams in a night particularly on heavily in demand peak dates. We pride ourselves on having the most entertaining, interactive and mind-blowing performers in the industry - which enables us to deliver unforgettable events with every single performance.
-
Can I choose my specific performers?The band lineup will be determined by the date and location of your event, as well as the availability of the performers. Tux Fizz provide 2x singers, 1x guitarist, 1x bassist and 1x drummer. The specific individuals for an event will be determined by Tux Fizz, based on band member availability and logistics. Every member of the Tux Fizz cast undergoes the same extensive training and performs the show in the same Tux Fizz style, which is how we guarantee the Tux Fizz experience every time. Please note that if you secure a performer for the daytime, they will also perform as part of the band in the evening.
-
How long does Tux Fizz live band play for?We offer 2 x 60 min sets or 3 x 45 min sets of live music, but we’re very flexible and will play what is required for your event and also adjust as timings unfold on the day. When the live band isn't playing we provide a variety of DJ options to keep the party going. We include an unmanned DJ playlist for free with every package, but there are also options to include the manned DJ (from a band member) or a Professional DJ. Please enquire for pricing options.
-
How long does it take the band to set up and sound check?We require a minimum of 90 minutes to set up, but if the venue has difficult access to the stage it may take us longer. If the band are setting up in the same room as your Wedding Breakfast then we can only start setting up after you've vacated the room. If speeches and dinner overrun, then this may impact on the band's start time, but we will work with you to adapt timings to ensure everything flows smoothly on the night.
-
Does the time the band arrives and leaves affect the cost?Yes it does. The quote presumes that the band arrive at 6:30pm to be ready set up in time for 8:00pm to 8:30pm and can start packing up our equipment by 12:00am. If you need Tux Fizz there a lot earlier or wish us to perform beyond midnight, then the quote will include the costs for the extra time.
-
Do you provide Lighting and Speaker equipment?Tux Fizz provides all the required backline to deliver an unforgettable performance along with professional grade production lighting as standard which elevates the experience to another level. As well as this, we include a professional sound engineer who manages the sound throughout the performance and ensures the band looks and sounds amazing, regardless of the size and shape of the performance area.
-
What happens to the music when you are not performing?We provide a variety of DJ options to keep the party going when the band is not performing. We include an unmanned DJ playlist for free with every package, but there are also options to include the manned DJ (from a band member) or a Professional DJ. Please enquire for pricing options.
-
What are the various DJ options available?1) As standard we provide an unmanned DJ playlist for the times when the live band isn't playing. This is a playlist prepared specifically for you, where we work together to include any songs which aren't included in our live set. The unmanned part means we let the list play with no one manning the DJ . 2) There is also an option to include a manned DJ playlist - this simply means one of the band members stay with the DJ taking requests on the night. 3) There is also an option to book one of our recommended Professional Ibiza Style DJ's to elevate the evening to another level into the early hours. Just let us know when you enquire and we'll sort the rest.
-
Will Tux Fizz perform our first dance?Yes and this is included and does not need to part of our existing repertoire - we will learn ANY song. Please give us at least 4 weeks notice so we can fit it into our band rehearsal schedule if we don’t already know it.
-
What’s the best time to do the first dance?Tux Fizz are flexible to accommodate any specific timings you may have, but from our experience we have found that it is best not to start performing too early. We recommend first dance no earlier than 8.00pm to allow evening guests to arrive and settle in. We would also recommend serving evening food/sparklers in our first DJ break (60 minutes after first dance or 45 minutes if you are having three sets) to ensure your guests make the most of evertything you have planned for them. The band will then resume after the break.
-
Can we choose which songs Tux Fizz perform?We recommend that you check through our set list (provided on request) and let us know which your favourites are and we will make sure we include them. If there are one or two you really don’t like then we’ll take note. Remember - we have 8 years of experience performing and reading crowds so have a really good idea of what will go down phenomenally well. Our goal is to ensure your guests have an unforgettable night – and we haven’t failed yet!
-
How far is the band able to travel?We travel all across the UK and beyond – our quote will include costs for time and travel expenses.
-
Do you require a deposit when booking?We ask for a booking fee to confirm the booking and secure the date with the band. Your date is not confirmed until the deposit it paid. Until then we operate a first come first serve policy.
-
Are there any hidden costs?No. We will always quote a fee which is fully inclusive of all travel and accommodation costs.
-
Will you need feeding and watering?For all day coverage of events the singer would request that the venue provides a meal after their performance and waters througout the day (would not expect to be seated as a guest). For evening coverage the band would request that the venue provides a meal, snack or light bite for each band member. Waters throughout the performance would be highly appreciated.
-
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT certificates for your equipment?Yes. We have group Public Liability Insurance, and we also keep our electrical equipment with fully up-to-date PAT certificates which can be provided on request.
