If the venue does not permit taping, we will comply with their wishes. Our contracts request that there should not be any reproductions of any kind. This is a standard clause that protects the promoter and the Flecktones. If you attend a show you should be prepared for the possibility that you will not be able to bring in your recorder. Sorry, we don't allow board tapes, just microphones.
Some venues are more compatible to the physical set up of microphones than others.
The specific situation will decide the outcome. If you are thinking of booking the Flecktones, try calling Joe Brauner at Monterey Penninsula Artists. If you are interested in an International Booking, Please contact Scott Southard at International Music Network. Tony Trischka was and is a big influence on B la. Flecktones unofficial archivist Wendell Norman has compiled a very thorough and comprehensive discography of B la, Victor and Futch, as well as some other friends of the 'Tones.
