Provided by Organisation
Stage
Because the Gonnagles are with 10 band members on stage, the stage should be at least 6m wide and 3m deep to t all of us.

PA
We need a PA which is sucient for the venue. Please make sure the system is tuned to the venue and 31-band or parametric EQs are installed.

Monitors
We would like to have six monitors on four separate groups, but we can manage with two monitors on separate groups.

Lighting
The organisation should provide adequate lighting of the stage. Also, we would like to see some lighting to improve the ambiance of the dancing oor.

Some Microphones with stands

We bring most of the instrument microphones ourselves. This leaves only two vocal microphones (SM58 or equivalent) with large stands.

5x Active DI
We need 5 active DIs (DI-100 or better). If this amount of active DIs is a problem, please let us know and we will bring some (up to 5) with us.

Cables
Obviously, the organisation should provide sucient cables to accomodate the stage plan. This includes a suitable multicable and XLR cables.

Mixer
The mixer should be able to handle the other requirements of this rider. This basically means 13 microphone channels and sucient pre auxes for the monitor mixes (4 is preferred, 2 is absolutely required). Please make sure each input channel has at least a sweepable mid-range eq and that the auxes can be AFL-ed. Digital mixers are welcome if we know some days in advance.

Eects and Dynamics

We need a subtle reverb (TC M-350 or similar) and would like to have 4 channels of compression.

FOH position
The FOH position must be in the soundeld. A mixing position side-stage is unacceptable.

230v
Power should be provided at the marked places on the stage plot. Please make sure there are no groundloops and all audio equipment is on one group without any other electronics (like lighting, or kitchen appliances). Also, supply some power drops at the FOH for the two wireless receivers.

Time Schedule
The Gonnagles would like to soundcheck for 60 minutes (we need at least 20 minutes), this is excluding the time to set up the stage. If all cables on the stage are located in the correct place and are labelled, the Gonnagles can plug in themselves within minutes.

Provided by Gonnagles
Soundengineer
We will bring a soundengineer to mix the FOH for the Gonnagles during soundcheck and performance.

Wireless system
Our violin player and clarinet player will both bring a Sennheiser EW-172 wireless system, with a frequency selectable between 786.000 and 822.000MHz. The receivers can be placed at the FOH desk (preferrable), at the Monitor desk (if available) or at the stageblock.

Bass amplier
We will bring our own, very small, bass amplier which will be used only for sound on stage.
