The handover deserves its own note

Speeches, food service, another performer and a DJ can all change the arc of the night. Explain what comes before and after the live chapter so the act can ask the right timing questions.

No set length, equipment specification or availability is assumed in this concept. Confirm those details through the actual booking process.

Keep the room in the brief.

The event note can bring the practical questions together with the musical ones.
