CONTRACT RIDER (NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL)
All clauses attached hereto form an
integral part of this CONTRACT and must be
strictly adhered to. We are flexible on most
things on this rider but not on the day of
the show. Any deviations from this rider
that have not been cleared will result in a
cancellation of the show. Some equipment
selections (such as microphones) are merely
a guide and if there are requirements that
you need to discuss, then please do so in
advance. Approval by Performer must be
given, as there are to be no changes allowed
on the day of show. We look forward to
working with you to produce a show that is
incredibly memorable for your venue for all
the right reasons.
