When
is DFO available?
We are only available to perform
during Oxford
University's term times, as this is the only time the
student band members are all in Oxford.
How
long can DFO play for?
We can currently play sets up to 1 hour in length (not including
time needed to set up). We recommend a typical playing time
of 30-60 minutes.
Where
can DFO travel to?
We can usually only travel to events within Oxford. However,
with plenty of advance notice we may travel further afield.
Can
DFO provide the equipment?
Except for intimate events like smaller charity gigs, we can
not provide
full PA equipment - this must be provided by event organisers.
The band is able to transport all instruments and guitar amplifiers
it requires, except for a drum
kit. We can not
provide any lighting of any sort. We can, however, refer event
organisers to a number of event engineering companies (unaffiliated
with DFO) who may be able to set up PA systems and lighting
for competitive prices.
