For outdoor venues in the Kempen
Tea towels wedged in the windows, everything wound down, the music drifting out of the car into the verge. The Kempen is still a region where the party moves outdoors as soon as the weather allows.
We played a wedding reception there, and outdoors music does not need to be loud — it only needs to be close. We play quietly under an awning or in a corner of the garden: soft enough for the conversations at the picnic table to carry on, and soft enough that you still hear the birds through it.
As it cools down
Around nine an evening like that tips over. It gets cooler, the company moves indoors or closer around the tables, and the music can tip along with it.
Sound carries differently indoors, so we set it again. Two modest speakers added, a little more tempo, but still so that whoever sits talking in the corner does not have to give way for it.

Yes, an acoustic line-up is particularly well suited to that. We ask for two things: a dry, level spot of 1.5 × 2.5 metres and a socket nearby for the light amplification. Outdoors sound carries less far, so the amplification is more likely to come along than it is indoors.
Then we move inside or under a canopy. Packing up and setting up again takes us fifteen minutes, and we fit into almost any corner. Wooden instruments and rain simply do not mix.
That is precisely what we try to avoid. The volume follows the garden, not the other way round: soft enough for the conversations at the picnic table to carry on. If it gets busier later in the evening we would rather move inside than turn up.
Yes. Bergeijk, Eersel, Bladel, Reusel-De Mierden, Heeze-Leende and Waalre all lie within our half hour from Eindhoven. If you are unsure whether your venue is included, just ask.
Tell us about the occasion, the space and the date. We play across southeast Brabant and the Kempen.
