Q THE MUSIC – BEHIND THE SCENES RETREAT
SATURDAY 11th JAN 2025
The idea is to come and share a weekend with the band in a more up close, highly social & interactive, informal and personal setting. You can come on stage when we are playing – stand in amongst the band while we play, ask questions and we’ll explain how we bring it all together, we’ll be performing a very special set list (see below) with special cues as well as some of the core main themes - watch us put it together and then perform it for you.
We’ll also have our (simple to use) tech monitoring setups for you to try - Use our in-ear systems to listen in and isolate individual instruments. Want to listen to the Bass? No problem. Want to listen to Piano? No problem - make your own mix and see how the elements make up the Q The Music Sound.
As part of the day there is a Q&A where you can ask the band all your questions, and during the evening there is a 3-course dinner, where band members sit at each table.
It really is an amazing experience – the 2024 retreat was a sell out and a runaway success, with 100% incredible feedback, so the 2025 is on sale now!
You can get several different ticket options: Performance only, performance & dinner, performance, dinner and overnight accommodation.
Here are some quotes from last year:
“A perfect weekend. To be on stage watching them is something you never get to do. It was a must do experience, can’t recommend it highly enough!”
“Having seen Q The Music lots including the West End and 02, I can say the retreat immersive event was an amazing experience. To stand with the brass while they were playing and chat to everyone was another level and I can’t wait for the next one.”
“Three words from the retreat for me: laughter, love and family. If you can get yourself to the retreat, do it, as it’s the best time you’ll have”
“The retreat was something completely out of this world. What made it so special was the up close and personal experience. If you get the chance to go – do it, you won’t be disappointed”
“I’m still on a buzz from the retreat! An amazing experience”
