Payment Terms
We require a 20% deposit in the form of a cheque made payable to “J. Clarke”. This will only be cashed in the event of cancellation between booking date and the gig date. Your cheque will be returned to you on the night of the gig when we require Cash payment so that we can pay each member of the band. If unable to pay in Cash on the night we require Cleared Funds no less than 10 days prior to the date of the performance.
Unfortunately we are unable to accept credit or debit cards at this time.

Cancellation Policy
If cancellation is within 28 days of the date of the gig, the fee shall be 100%. The non-refundable 20% deposit will only be refunded to The Client should the Band cancel the gig due to injury, illness or death of a Band member or any Band member’s family. The Band will use their best endeavours to assist in finding a replacement band for the contracted date. (Although we try to keep to the same line up, sometimes it is necessary to use other performers due to illness and other unforeseen circumstances).
