About
The Stringbirds is a cover band for hire in South Perth, WA.
The Stringbirds is a five-piece acoustic ensemble based in South Perth. The musicians perform unplugged versions of songs by artists including The Beatles, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Metallica and Miley Cyrus. Their setup works without a loud drum kit, with bookings including weddings, corporate functions, wineries and private garden or house parties.
The show
Either two sets of an hour, or three of 40 minutes with 15 minute intervals in between, whichever suits your run sheet better. During those breaks the room doesn't go quiet: The Stringbirds put background music through their own PA so there's something under the conversation until they're back on. They need an hour before they start to set up and get the sound right, so build that into the timings when you're planning the day.
On the day
Outdoors, they need a covered area. Power for the sound system, lighting so they can see what they're playing, and somewhere safe to leave gear if the space is public. Vehicle access matters at both ends, dropping off and picking up, so flag any long carry or awkward laneway early. Last one, and it's easy to forget: five basic chairs with no arms. Arms get in the way of playing an instrument sitting down.
Performance options
Size is flexible. You can have the duo, the trio or the full band, depending on what the room needs and who's free on your date. Residencies and repeat bookings are treated differently to a one off, so mention it if you're looking at more than a single night. Worth saying what the space is and how many people you're expecting, because that usually decides which version of The Stringbirds makes sense.
