Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I’m unsure.
I hope that it’s the personal touch. I love what I do and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to make a living out of it so I try to be as professional and amenable as possible.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I’ve played at Venues all across Scotland including Oran Mor, The Old Fruit Market, Edinburgh Corn Exchange, various Hilton and MacDonald Hotels, numerous Castles and Stately Homes including Dumfries House, Hopetoun House and Dundas Castle plus bars and restaurants in most Scottish Cities and towns.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Personally, I really like Fink, Tom McRae and The Tallest Man on Earth but I generally listen to a real eclectic mix of music. I love my Discover Weekly lists on Spotify and finding new music.
I can send you a link to a Spotify Playlist if you’re genuinely interested.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
The band did the wrap party for the final season of “Still Game” which was really cool as there were lots of Scottish Comedians and Actors kicking about. We also did the Wedding of a member of “The Blubells”.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I am very flexible and strive to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This isn't a problem. If you'd like a DJ, Karaoke service, prices are shown on the pricing section of the page.
How much time do you need to set up?
Solo, I can be set in under 20 minutes, the band take roughly 1-1.5 hours. This does depend on the venue being aware of space etc so I usually like to get in touch with them prior to the event to check space/access/power etc.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Within reason, Yes. It's generally easier if you pick some songs you like and allow me to work a setlist around this as during the gig I'll pick songs based on the crowd and how they respond.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, unless the venue has specific requirements. I have PA equipment to suit various sized venues and can also play fully acoustic if that’s more appropriate.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes, happy to look at song requests. This is generally free of charge unless the song is overly complex and I’m going to need to spend a lot of time on it. A fee for this can be worked out.
