Question 2

Why book A26 through StarClinch? What are the advantages?

Accepted Answer

Look, booking a 7-piece ensemble like A26 involves a lot of moving parts—logistics, payments, contracts. StarClinch acts as the safety net for all of that. With over **20,000 bookings** under our belt, we ensure your money is safe (held securely until the job is done) and that the artist profile is verified. You get professional transparency.

Question 3

Why should I consider A26 for my event? What unique value do they bring?

Accepted Answer

Two words: **Experience** and **Energy**. A26 isn't a hobby band; they are a well-oiled machine that plays a minimum of **120 gigs every year**. That level of consistency means they know exactly how to read a room, whether it’s a high-stakes corporate gala or a wild wedding party.

They bring a sophisticated, musically empowered vibe that has worked for massive brands like **Mahindra** (for their Scorpio 10-year anniversary) and the **Royal Challengers Bangalore**. When you hire them, you aren't just getting background noise; you're getting a [live band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online) that has successfully entertained everyone from CEOs to casual party-goers across the globe.

Question 4

What makes A26 stand out compared to other bands in the circuit?

Accepted Answer

It creates a massive difference when your frontman is a legend in the circuit. **Lester Rodrigues**, the founder and lead vocalist, was a founding member of the iconic Goan band 'Forefront'. That pedigree shows.

But it’s also their versatility. While many bands stick to one lane, A26 has played everywhere—from the **Bangalore Club** on New Year's Eve to venues in **Denmark, Africa, Dubai, and Poland**. They have this rare ability to shift gears instantly, playing a genre exactly 'the way it is supposed to be played,' rather than just covering it. They don't just play songs; they curate an atmosphere.

Question 5

I’m planning a corporate event with senior management. Is A26 suitable for this demographic?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In fact, this is one of their strong suits. A26 has a reputation for playing for the upper management and CEOs of various top-tier companies. They understand the nuance required for these events—keeping it elegant yet engaging.

They've handled prestigious events like:
- The **Inaugural party of the Four Points Sheraton** in Pune.
- **Members Night** at the Corinthian’s Club.
- The **Mahindra Great Escape** at Pushkar.

They know when to be the center of attention and when to provide a sophisticated musical backdrop.

Question 6

What genres can we expect? My guests have diverse musical tastes.

Accepted Answer

They really cover the spectrum. We are talking **Blues, Pop, Rock, Rock n Roll**, and even Tribute sets. The band prides itself on having a wide repertoire that appeals to a vast genre of clients—from family functions to corporate staff parties.

Lester and the crew are fantastic at gauging the crowd. If the energy needs to go up, they switch to high-tempo Rock n Roll. If it’s a cocktail hour, they can slide into smoother Blues or Pop. It’s a full-service musical menu.

Question 7

My venue has strict sound restrictions. Does A26 offer a softer setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do! Not every event needs the full-blown rock concert volume. A26 offers a specific **unplugged set** performed with acoustic instruments. This is perfect for venues with decibel limits or parties where you want the music to facilitate conversation rather than drown it out. You still get the exceptional musicianship of this seven-piece ensemble, just stripped back and intimate. It’s a great option for sit-down dinners or sundowners.

Question 8

Does the band travel for destination weddings or events outside major cities?

Accepted Answer

They are practically road warriors. A26 has played in **every major city in India** and has an impressive international stamp on their passport (Muscat, Poland, Dubai, etc.).

Whether you are planning a sangeet in Rajasthan (like their gig in Pushkar) or a destination wedding abroad, they are equipped to handle the travel. Since logistics for a 7-piece band can be tricky, the **booking** process on StarClinch helps sort out those travel requirements early on.

Question 9

What is the price range for booking A26?

Accepted Answer

To give you a ballpark, their performance fees generally fall between **60,000 to 200,000 INR**.

However, 'price' is a tricky thing to pin down without details. A gig in their home base versus a fly-away show in Dubai will cost differently due to travel, accommodation, and equipment rentals. The type of set (full electric vs. acoustic) also plays a role. The best move is to use the enquiry form to get a custom quote tailored to your specific event needs.

Question 10

Who is the lead [singer](https://starclinch.com/book-singer-online) and what is the band's configuration?

Accepted Answer

The band is fronted by **Lester Rodrigues**, a veteran in the live music scene known for his work with 'Forefront'. A26 is an **ensemble of seven** musicians. This large configuration allows them to create a full, rich sound that smaller bands just can't replicate. You get the depth of multiple instruments and vocal harmonies that make their Tribute and Rock n Roll sets sound incredibly authentic.
