Terms & Conditions - Carole Le Gresley & Bossa Basseline Music

Bookings & Payment:

1) At the time of enquiry we will advise you of current availability. No booking will be confirmed until a 50% non-returnable deposit is paid, and a Bossa Basseline Music confirmation letter has been received containing full confirmation details of the booking date and times.

2) It is essential that the client advises us whether they wish to go ahead with a booking or not as soon as possible as we receive a high volume of enquiries and many bookings are confirmed well in advance.

3) The client is responsible for booking us for the correct start and finish times. If the event is delayed and/or running behind schedule, the full fee is still payable by the client. As our bookings frequently run consecutively throughout the day, we will perform only to the agreed start and finish times.

4) Extending the length of the performance can only take place when we do not have a further booking to attend elsewhere. Should the musicians be requested before or during a booking to extend the playing time, and should they be available and able to do so, the additional performance time will be charged at the standard rate and payment in full will be due at the end of the performance.

5) Full payment and/or payment of the remaining balance will be due one calendar month in advance of the booking date. Any cancellation after this date will incur a 100% cancellation fee.

6) Cheques should be made payable to 'Miss C Le Gresley'.

Unforseen Circumstances/Illness
