There are many variables that affect the price of a booking, so please get in touch with Coyote using the enquiry form for a tailored quotation. The variables range from peak dates, travel, arrival times/finish times and upgrades such as extra sets, larger PA or extra lighting.

Coyote offers complete transparency on fees as each event is bespoke and is reflected in each quotation. All prices include Coyote performances (as specified in the quote), travel within the SW London Area, Public Liability Insurance and PAT testing. It’s reassuring for clients to know that for smaller UK events, Coyote can come completely self-contained. This includes a state of the art PA for small and medium venues (up to 250 guests) and LED stage lighting and music in-between sets. For larger or international events, there will be additional costs to factor in, such as Audio Visual design, staging, backline or production management, but once again this will be discussed in any quotation.

Yes, Coyote requires a booking deposit of 25% to secure the date. We also issue a booking agreement that must be signed by both parties. Once Coyote receives the booking deposit and signed contract, the date is booked!

Coyote are a high-energy 4-piece band consisting of female lead vocals, male lead vocals, guitar, bass (& synth bass), backing vocals, and drums. Like the majority of live bands and artists today, Coyote uses additional instrumentation via playback. This is produced and recorded in-house by Coyote and adds authenticity and a depth to the sound that could not be achieved by four musicians alone - if it’s good enough for Coldplay, Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift- it’s good enough for Coyote! We can also offer extra musicians for the lineup e.g. extra guitarist and/or vocalist for an additional fee. Coyote also offers a stripped back acoustic 3-piece line up if you’re limited on space.

Coyote recommends a minimum space of 5m wide x 3m (at a head height of 2m) deep but has been known to squeeze into smaller areas when absolutely necessary (or we recommend booking the 3 piece version of the band). The space can either be on hard flooring or preferably on additional raised staging. When playing an outdoor event or marquee, at the very least hard flooring must be laid to set up and perform on (for safety reasons). Any questions then please get in touch.

We’re confident that guests will be locked to the dance floor and singing along from the moment we start performing. We consider ourselves experts in choosing the selection of songs that flow and work best to create an incredible atmosphere! Coyote has a vast repertoire of contemporary chart, dance and indie music that is regularly updated and ensures that your event is cut above the rest. We also add our own unique spin to our shows to ensure the momentum is kept throughout our sets. Whilst clients do not pick Coyote sets, client’s recommendations from the extensive existing repertoire are considered.   For weddings, Coyote loves to perform First Dances and encourages clients to browse through the repertoire and see if there is anything we can perform live for you acoustically. We can also learn your first dance for an extra fee should it not be in the existing repertoire (just let us know when requesting a quote).   There will be rare occasions when a request simply doesn’t work with Coyote’s line up and instruments, so for this reason we cannot guarantee all requests, however we will work with you to find something that does.

This very much depends on the type of event you are holding and which show you want to book; Coyote P-A-R-T-Y, 80s Mixtape or Dance Anthems). The standard is either 2x60 mins (3x40 mins) depending on the event. Most corporate events tend to lean into 1x90 mins straight through. Of course, there’s also the option of Coyote playing for an extra hour whether it be for an extra hour or the option of an acoustic duo or trio which is great for drinks receptions and more intimate events. Both of these come at an additional cost.

All of Coyote’s equipment is PAT tested and we also have Public Liability Insurance of up to £10,000,000. Documentation is available on request.

Wherever you want us to! Coyote travels both nationally and internationally to play at events, corporate functions, festivals and weddings. Recent international events include weddings in the Balearics, corporate events in the Middle East and a cruise ship around the Caribbean.

Coyote is fully self-contained with PA system for small/medium venues of up to 250 guests, sound desk and lights (suggestions of larger PA and Lighting Upgrades available on request). The band does require that the venue has at least 4 standard 13-amp power points no further than 10 metres away from the performance space.

Yes, if the band is available. An extra fee will be applicable.

Coyote needs around an hour and a half to set up and sound check ideally with the area free of guests. Some venues have a curtain to separate the performance area for example, or even better empty the room out whilst Coyote are sound checking.   If access to the performance room is difficult i.e. a long way from the band’s vehicles, we will need additional set up time. Similarly, the stage area will need to be clear on arrival for set up, otherwise it can affect ongoing set up times. Set up times are really important to the smooth running of your event, so we’ll work with you to ensure it’s as slick as possible. (**TOP TIP** You can enlist a team of helpers to move the gear during load in).

Pre-selected party/background music comes as standard for any ‘self-contained’ Coyote booking. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to choose it yourself, simply put together a playlist on your playback device, and it can be played through Coyote’s state of the art PA system.

Coyote provides LED lighting for stage and dance floor as standard. For a more impressive light show, we also have an upgraded lighting package that consists of 6 foot truss towers, additional stage LEDs, haze machine, moving heads and 2x sun strip blinders.

Yes, Coyote needs a secure changing area with good lighting and large enough for four people to be seated.

It is essential that a minimum of two car parking spaces are provided at the venue at a head height of 2 metres. Where parking is unavailable at the venue, please let us know in advance. Coyote will require reimbursement for any parking charges incurred on the day of the event.

As we’re away from home for around 12 – 16 hours in total with travelling, we do require a substantial hot meal to ensure we’re fully energised for your event (with 1 Gluten Free option). Hot food or access to a good quality buffet is always much appreciated, as snacks or sandwiches don’t quite do the job. If for some reason it is impossible to cater for Coyote at your venue, let us know well in advance **Band rider is available on request**.   Again, to keep timings as smooth as possible, please give your catering staff a heads up that we’ll require feeding and ideally food should be provided before or immediately after the first performance. If you’d like us to help ourselves to a buffet, it is also helpful if your caterers can plate this up separately, so we can quickly eat and get on with the next set, rather than queue.    As keeping you entertained is thirsty work, please also ensure that bar staff know soft drinks and tea/coffee are free for Coyote (or make arrangements for plenty to be provided in the band’s changing room). You do not have to provide alcohol for us. That said, a complimentary alcoholic beverage once we've finished sound check is always much appreciated.

In most circumstances this is not possible as Coyote specialise in performances at private functions. On the very rare occasion that Coyote might be doing a public show, it’s impossible to guarantee that by the time the show takes place we will still be available for your event.

For Coyote sound limiters are the biggest kill joy!   If you don’t know what they are, sound limiters are devices that measure the volume of sound in a room, then cut off the electricity supply if the sound volume remains above a predefined threshold for more than 5-10 seconds.   As we’re a lively, energetic band, sound limiters can restrict our performance and if the sound levels do cause the limiter to go off, it can really stunt the flow of a party. On that basis, if you can, we’d advise booking a venue that does not have a sound limiter fitted.   If you are unlucky enough to have already booked a venue with a sound limiter, we’ll work with you to perform within the confines of a sound limiter, however it’s not always possible if the limiter is set unworkably low.   The band cannot, for example, turn down equipment any lower than the unamplified volume of an acoustic drum kit. If the limiter is set to a threshold of approx 95dB, Coyote should be able to play without too much trouble, depending on the location of the sound limiter’s microphone. Below 95dB and you may find the volume too low to really enjoy the night and worst case, even run the risk of audience applause tripping out the electricity if it goes over the threshold!   When we arrive at the venue, we’ll also work closely with staff to comply with the limiter and in certain circumstances, they are able to switch off or raise the threshold if problems persist.
