Technical Info

While Roughcut Ruby does sometimes play smaller venues, we put on more of a show rather than just providing background music! Any of the points below are open to discussion; we will make every effort to accommodate any particular requirements that you have.

Stage & lighting

If time and space permits, we’ll bring full lighting rig and some stage dressing. This will be discussed when we take a new booking. All equipment is regularly PAT tested and Roughcut Ruby holds full Public Liability Insurance.

Ideally the band requires a stage area of at least 6m across and 4m front to back – however we understand that this isn’t always possible. We’re happy to play in smaller spaces but in those cases we won’t be able to provide the full lighting system.

Equipment & power

We will provide all equipment required for the gig. We need two 13 Amp power outlets within 10 metres of the stage area. 16 or 32 Amp industrial power outlets work for us, too. 

Outdoor specs

If the gig is outside, the venue must provide fully waterproof covering. Garden gazebos or party tens are not suitable as they’re not fully waterproof. The venue must also provide a suitable surface (we cannot pay on grass). 

Set-up & takedown

We require at least an hour to set up before we can start to play. Tear down is quicker, typically 30 minutes.
