sensory friendly adjustments

Here is a rundown of what we do to give everyone a fun sensory friendly night!

Volume

The first step of making our gigs ‘sensory friendly’ is reducing the volume of the bands. We limit each acts on stage volume to a safe hearing level by taking these steps:

  • Reducing the volume of the drum kit with towels, weights and low volume cymbals.

  • Turning down amps and speakers.

  • Rigorous sound checks pre-gig to ensure even the loudest song will stay under 90 Decibels

No flash photography warning at a sensory friendly gig.

Lights

Secondly, we keep a strict set of rules when it comes to the lighting of our gigs. We make our gigs epileptic and eye friendly by:

  • Removing any form of strobes or flashing light from the stage.

  • Banning the use of flash cameras from photographers or audience members.

  • Using darker and calmer colours for on stage lighting.
