William Foley Group

ATTENTION TO DETAIL
When playing a private function the most important thing I can do as a bandleader is to do what comes naturally for me: be keenly aware. This means that if we need to start a few minutes early, we do so. It means I check with the client to see if our volume is right. It means playing a longer set if it's going to help the flow of the event. And it means being in good communication before the event so everything goes smoothly.

HOW BIG IS YOUR EVENT and WHAT SIZE BAND DO YOU NEED?
