Power requirements
What are the electrical power requirements for a band?
Our acts only require domestic-style three-pin 13 amp sockets. A jazz trio or ceilidh band will only need one or two sockets, bigger function bands would prefer a few more sockets if possible. Where more than one socket is required, we recommend that these are supplied from different ring mains so that the power is evenly distributed. For marquees, the contractor should be able to provide a 15 amp supply which is then split into separately fused 13 amp sockets. For marquees and outdoor events a surge protection device must be fitted. Total power loading will not exceed 6kVA and will probably be a lot less.
