Shop’s Agency

Bands, Duos, and Solo acts available.

Please note that this is a new service, commencing 3/9/2010 and this page will be updated soon.

All performers are people with appropriate skills and knowledge, together with a professional attitude.

All listings are FREE to all performers until June 2011 when success of this project will be reassessed. It is anticipated that there will never be any charge to performers other than possibly, a small annual listing fee which will be considered in June 2011.

The only fee is $30.00 per successful booking and invoiced to hotels or other people who use this service to find entertainers. This fee is to cover time and phone calls etc. in the process of arranging appropriate music for your function. The contract for musical performance is between the performer(s) and the client and after initial contact, clients and performers will liaise with each other directly.

Unless otherwise stated, a musical performance is for a 3 hour period with breaks of no more than 15 minutes every hour. When Shop is contacted by a client, performance times and budget are discussed along with type of performance required and It is up to the performer and the client to negotiate any rider or special requirements. All performers carry all their own equipment and will be set up ready to play at least 30 minutes prior to start time.

Any unprofessional behaviour on the part of either performers or clients may result in termination of all advertising (in the case of performers), and baning of venues (in the case of clients). Please note that neither Shop, nor Shuffle Shop can accept responsibility for the actions of third parties. While we can never anticipate problems, we are grateful for feedback. Feedback improves our service as well as the service provided by performers.

We have a list of entertainers larger than that featured here, please call 027 444 5181 for more information, or use our contact form
