KingsFishers Roadshow - Kent and South East

King'sFishers

Roadshow™

King’sFishers Roadshow™ is a dynamic mobile disco that has been spinning CD's for over 15 years. During the week we (Gary and Liz) run a small successful Internet Services company, then when it comes to the weekend, we enjoy helping people have fun, party and 'do their thing'. With a commitment to 'customer service' we actually play what our clients ask for. Have you ever been to a disco where the DJ played rap tunes (that you have never heard of) all night long and despite asking for your requests; they never got played! This has never happened with King’sFishers Roadshow we believe the old cliche 'whoever pays the piper - calls the tune' - the customer is always right. Having said that, we will not play rude or offensive material, we believe in good clean fun for audiences of all ages and all tastes. King’sFishers Roadshow cater for all environments from corporate hospitality, right down to discos for schools aged 8 to 16. Being in our 40's (well when this was typed at least) we do enjoy doing Birthday Parties for 30 to 50 year old's as they often enjoy the 70's and 80's disco music era. Weddings and Wedding Anniversaries are one of the most difficult to cater for as there are children from 70 months to 70 years, we always try to do enough 60's music early on in the evening for our more mature element. We have the latest chart and club tracks to satisfy anyone to the early hours.

King’sFishers Roadshow specialise in creating a party atmosphere, we will even help you get the dancing started - by dancing ourselves, if it is appropriate, otherwise you will see us smiling away - bopping about behind the equipment (nobody likes to see a DJ with a sour face when you want to have a good time). You can contact us on Tel:01634 260700 Fax:0870474 0191 Email:info@kingsfishers.com

	Format, Venues, Capacity & Access King’sFishers Roadshow
Format:	We will follow your format for the evening. If you do not have a plan, we will start with familiar chart hits through the eras - that people enjoy either singing to or just tapping their feet. We sometimes get asked for really good songs (that people love ot sing to), but you just can't dance to them, so we try to get them covered at the beginning of the evening or while people are eating. We try to encourage events (where food is served) to have it served as early as possible (food is always better fresh) this leaves more time available for dancing. To help to reassure you, we can arrange for customer references (of different ages) that should be able to give you 'peace of mind' that your party will be a success.
Venues:	We are based in Gillingham, Kent and cover both Kent and London venues. We have done all day outdoor events as far as Weymouth and Devon if required. We are prepared to work out of a marquee (preferably heated) however, due consideration needs to be made for the fact that sound travels for miles straight through the tent sides (sometimes facing towards a building can reduce any noise nuisance). Please ask any venue if they have a decibel meter, as this can disappoint some clients who like to 'feel a lot of Bass from the speakers' as the dB meter switches off the power to the hall sockets when exceeded!
Capacity:	Our equipment has been updated in the past year to cater for audiences from 30 up to 1,500. Typically parties are from 35 to 150 and find that our amplifiers only working at 25% of their output levels (which means quality is maintained). We have done music outdoors at our regular Firework events and Music + MC/PA at 3,000 capacity outdoor school fairs/fetes. We have access to additional equipment to cater for very large audiences i.e. Christmas Lights in Sittingbourne with an estimated audience of 5,000.
Parking & Access:	Whenever possible please check with the venue you book, that there is access for equipment and parking for our Vito van. We prefer back entrance access if possible.
	Equipment, Music & DJs King’sFishers Roadshow
Equipment:	We have upgraded our equipment recently. The speakers are Renkus Heinz RFX 121-E accurate full range response from 60 Hz to 18 kHz 124 dB program SPL from a surprisingly compact loudspeaker. Complex Conic horn for superior pattern bandwidth, low distortion and more natural sound. The Bass is handled by two powerful 12" RFX12S subwoofer developed for high level entertainment applications for visceral impact, powered 750W Bass delivering 124dB. Carver PM950 950W Amplifier serving Mid & Treble and CAudio GB602 750W as Bass Amplifier combined with a Furman X-312 cross-over to keep the Bass separate. Depending upon the audience, we use Denon or Gemini CD 9500 Pro dual CD decks. Citronic CDM10:4 DJ Mixer and 30 channel Furman GQ302 Graphic Equalizer. Wheelable 15U flight cases. Sennheiser headphones and a number of microphones plus mic stand for the public speaker. Furman Pro Power Amp Conditioner to reduce power surges. At this point you may saying 'what does all that mean?' well, it basically means we have enough power to satisfy up to 1,000 + people and yet still deliver better than HiFi quality from the speakers, we have had comments to the effect 'Wow, I can hear instruments on that CD track, that I have never heard on my home HiFi'. Lighting: 4 off Fan TS9808's, 2 off PAR56 300W, Mystic Moon, Abstract Rave, Coloured Can's, 150W flood fill lights with coloured gels, 300W Follow Spot.
Music & DJs:	We have been collecting dance CD's since the 70's (we also have 60' music including some Glen Miller). Liz is a qualified Fitness Instructor and works with music every day, which helps to keep the flow between CD tracks consistent. Gary's original training was in electronics and supports the equipment, mixing the CDs and controlling lighting. We are not your stereotypical scratch DJ's, we are also not 'talk all over the track - without understanding what they are saying' DJs' either. We are basically a married couple that love dancing and fed up with going to disco's that don't play music we want to dance to - so we now do our own! We only speak when there is something significant to say, something to announce, or if something funny happens worth commenting on.
