Careers
Players and crew, mostly by word of mouth
We hire the way this trade actually works — but the rates are on the page, which is the part that usually is not.
Work with us
A hundred and twenty nights a year, and a van that leaves on time
We are eighteen people, we take fewer bookings than we could, and we pay on the Friday after the event without being chased. That is most of what there is to say about working here.
The rest: everyone eats before the doors open, nobody loads out alone, and the person who booked the job is on site until the last case is on the van. If you have worked in this trade in Accra you will know how unusual all three of those are.

Four ways in
Rates are what we actually pay, not a range we negotiate down from.
Depping horn players
Per engagement
GH₵ 900 – 1,400 a night
Trumpet, trombone and alto. Charts sent a week ahead, one rehearsal paid at half rate, and you are told the finish time before you accept rather than after.
You can read a chart and you can also play without one
Highlife and Afrobeats feel, not just the notes
You own a working instrument and get yourself to Osu
Sound engineer (second)
Part time, 4–8 nights a month
GH₵ 1,600 a night
Monitors on the bigger rooms and front of house on the quintet dates. You will be on our desks — an X32 and an SQ-6 — and you will be trusted with the room by the second month.
Two years on live sound, not studio
You have mixed a horn section and know what to do about the trumpet
Calm at eight o'clock when a radio mic has died
Production crew
Casual, weekends
GH₵ 450 a call, plus overtime after midnight
Load in, rig, and load out. No experience needed and we will teach you the rig — several of our engineers started on this call.
You turn up when you say you will
Able to lift, and sensible about how
Available most Saturdays through the season
Event producer
Full time
GH₵ 6,800 – 9,200 a month
Own six to eight events at a time from brief to load-out. This is the job that decides whether a client's evening feels effortless, and it is the hardest one here to do well.
Three years running events, or five years running something harder
You write clearly — half this job is a running order somebody else can follow
A driving licence and no objection to a two a.m. finish
What you get
The four that matter in this trade
Paid the Friday after
Every time, without an invoice chase. Casual crew are paid the same week as the players.
Everyone eats
A proper meal before doors, for the band and the crew equally. It is not a perk; it is why the second set is good.
Our own kit
You learn one rig properly instead of meeting a different rented desk every Saturday.
We teach the next thing
Crew who want to engineer get put on monitors. Players who want to write get charts to write. Both on our time.

One paragraph about what you play or what you rig, and something we can listen to or look at. We reply to everybody, usually inside a week.
