Frequently Asked Questions
Alias provide a nationwide service, but mainly play in Leinster and the Midlands.
The band is a 5 piece - male & female vocals, guitar, keyboards and drums. Additional instruments such as harmonica, latin percussion, bass guitar and acoustic guitar are also used by the band members within any one setting.
Stage presentation and Image is an important aspect of the show and the band dress in attire suitable to the event. Alcohol is not consumed before, during or after the performance by any members of Alias. As part of our Written booking process, we request from the client to the preferred dress codes, ranging from casual to formal.
It takes 30 - 40 minutes to set up the equipment. The band generally arrives 30 minutes before the scheduled set up time, just to ensure everything is up and running in time. So generally, the band arrives on location 1hr 15 minutes prior to start time.
Alias have an extensive almost inexhaustible set listing, which has been tailored over the years to suit all ages and all tastes of music. The list comprises of hits from the 40's to the present day, and from waltzes through to traditional music. We play at events ranging from weddings to corporate events, and have played at Christenings to our oldest Celebrant who celebrated her Birthday at 80 years young.
Very often, the most worrying part of a wedding day, or other event, is wondering if the band will show up. Alias pride themselves on the professional service that is provided. We excel in customer service and punctuality.
Alias has a state of the art sound system. We increase or decrease our levels on the night, depending on the venue, crowd and the client's requests. The band can play quietly in the background, or very very loud! The choice is entirely yours, but the band generally knows the right level to play at.
For a wedding, the band leaves this choice to the bride and groom. However, the band do limit the numbers as inviting singers onto the stage tends to slow down the party atmosphere.
Customer Feedback
... Again, many thanks for your wonderful performance at our wedding! Everyone raved how great the band were and really enjoyed the night!
You played the first song to a tee - but our feet didn't move quite so well - it was all a bit surreal for us, the whole day really but we did enjoy it once we loosened up a bit!
Thanks again and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone in the future! Best of luck to you and Alias
