If we hire a bass player in the line up will he play a proper bass?

No offence to bass guitar players, but most people refer to a double bass as a proper bass. The bass players Steve uses (mainly Mike Porter-Ward or Dan Quinton) always play a double bass which you can see in the photograph to the right.

Will it be noisy if we have a drummer in the line up?

No, the drummers Steve uses (usually Dave Trigwell or Roy Jackson) are skilled jazz drummers and are capable of playing very quietly. They are also masters of the long lost art of playing with brushes which is ideal for background music. Also, the drum kit that they use is different from that of a rock drummer - one of the key differences being the diminutive size of the bass drum. A jazz kit does not produce anywhere near the same volume level as a rock kit.
