| Monitors |
We'd be happy with at least two monitors, one for Peter (and the bassist if present) and one for Dave and Bill. A mono mix to the monitors is okay, a separate mix for each monitor is even better, if you can swing it.
|
| Stage Plot |
We're used to having the piano at stage left, fiddle in the middle, winds to the right.
|
| Keyboard |
We will need a keyboard - with its pedal and stand. Weighted, touch-sensitive keys (preferably 88 of them!) are a must - most electric pianos (as opposed to synthesizers) have these features. Some typical names:
- Roland FP-8
- Technics P-30,
- Yamaha DGX-500A
With an electronic keyboard, if the piano cannot have it's own monitor mix, a separate monitor just for the keyboard will be needed .

Bass Player
|
When Stuart Kenney joins us as our bass and banjo player, he will need one of the following 2x10 bass cabinets:
- SWR
- David Eden
- Trace Elliot
- Peavey
If a 2x10 is not available then a 4x10 will work. Most rental houses carry one of the above.Â
If possible, we prefer a separate monitor mix for bass and piano.
