F.A.Q

How long do you play for?

Three Oak Road generally play 4x 45 min sets. These can be 4x dancy sets or 1x quiet background set and 3x dancy sets depending on the formalities and the structure of the day/night and also your personal preferences.

Do you provide background music?

We have many playlists suitable for any occasion which we are happy to have playing whilst we are not performing. If you want your own playlist and music this can be put through our PA system. We just require that it be provided on a portable device at the start of the function. This can be on iPod, Tablet, Laptop etc.

Can you perform at our ceremony as well as the reception?

We can certainly perform a more acoustic array of songs perfect for your ceremony. There is a small additional fee for performing at ceremonies so please feel free to Contact Us for a quote.

we need a speaker system for music & celebrant at our ceremony. Do you have a system to accommodate this?

Yes we have a perfect portable system that allows both microphone and music via iPod or Auxiliary inputs at the same time. There is a very small fee to hire this so please feel free to Contact Us.

Song Requests. Can we request songs not on your song list?

Yes we are happy to learn a special song for you. This could be the bridal dance or another special song of significance.

We are happy to add any other requests onto a music playlist to be played during our set breaks.

Will I get the same 3 musicians that i have seen on your website/performances?

Yes. We are not an agency and if one of us is unavailable then the band is unavailable. We like to keep a strict quality control on our sound and using fill ins is not in our best interest.

Can we use your PA for speeches?

Yes. We can provide a microphone to accommodate speaches and any formalities should you have an MC.

Do I have to feed the band?

It is common practice in the industry to feed each member of the band. There is only three of us and most venues provide "Musicians meals" which consists of a main meal, usually at a discounted price to that of the guests meals. We don't drink very much so as long as there is some soft drink and water available we are happy.

Is there anything else we need to provide?

Power seems to be overlooked by some couples. As long as there is a power point nearby we are happy.

Outside performances can be an issue with no shelter. We are happy to bring our own shelter however if the wind picks up this can be uncomfortable for guests and the band.
