Pigs: Canada's Pink Floyd tribute is a high-quality act that can dazzle audiences of any size, but in order to make our show successful, certain conditions must exist. These conditions are enumerated below:

Inputs List - Theatres | PDF	Bars & Nightclubs | PDF

Load in/Soundcheck

We take pride in our sound. We require least 2 hours in order to load in our extensive gear and to perform a sound and lights check. Load in and soundcheck should be complete no less than 1 hour before the start of the performance. This is crucial to the success of the show.

Parking

At any given venue we will require space for at least 2 large vehicles (vans etc.) and one small trailer. Parking should be as close to the venue as possible.

Power Requirements

Lights take up a lot of power and we like a lot of lights. We require no less than a 100 amp 3 phase 120/208 service available with either cams or a Hubble pin and sleeve connector. In some situations a 50 amp range plug will suffice.

Accomodation

All performances outside of Victoria will require purchaser to provide clean and reputable accomodation as follows: 4-6 double rooms depending on production value (call to confirm).

Catering/Refreshment

We require a secure and private area with a minimum of 10 chairs and 2 mirrors as a dressing/preparation area. By the time soundcheck has ended, the band will require a catering table which includes coffee, tea, juice and/or soda; a tray of munchies which may include vegetables, deli meats, cheeses, and breads or crackers; 24 beers of a non-domestic variety will make for very happy Pigs.

Permits/License Fees

Pigs is a tribute act and therefore registers all of its sets with SOCAN. All venue licenses and fees should be up to date and in compliance with local and international laws and regulations. Liquor licences are also the responsibility of the purchaser.

Stage Requirements

We require at minimum a 24' x 16' x 2' stage to fit all of us comfortably, and ideally a 6' x 8' drum riser will help add "depth" to our performance.

Sound and Lights

Sound and Lights are considered on a per-venue basis. We prefer to bring our own sound and lights people, but if this is unacceptable, the following is a minimum requirement.

Lights

1. One standard projector with a screen sized to fit the venue (circular is ideal) 2. 16 par cans (par 56-64) with variable gels 3. 4-6 intelligent DMX controlled lights movable lights or scanners 4. 4-6 effects lights (lasers preffered) 5. 1 competent and creative lighting engineer

Sound

1. A minimum 24 channel mixing console with four auxiliary busses (not including effects) 2. Reverb and delay effects capable of doing a hall reverb and a slapback delay (tap tempo capability is ideal) 3. 6-7 stage monitors with 4 individual mixes (stereo is ideal) 4. A front end system capable of effectively conveying the complex sound of Pink Floyd: all drums and guitar amps must have microphones, and the bass and keyboards must have DIs. 5. A monitor mixer is ideal 6. One or two competent sound engineers
