We will also have stage lighting and audio equipment but will need to be told/provided with any specific music/audio. Any other staging or performance specific equipment eg; poles, backdrop/set, props etc would need to be provided by the performer/s
We suggest a length of at least a minute and up to roughly 3 minutes per performance. There can be some wiggle room as we are aware some acts that are using songs can sometimes be using tracks that last slightly over.
