Jonathon and Ciarán 13/12/25 Royal Society of Arts Dear Angus, I just wanted to write to say a huge thanks for Saturday night! We really appreciated your help with coordinating our entrance into the party and first dance, and for the DJ set throughout the night - it was brilliant. So many of our guests have been telling us that the music was exceptional, and as you saw, some never left the dance floor! It was everything we hoped for for the party, and more. So thanks once again for your effort - it made the night really brilliant for us.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My performances are characterised by appropriate energy for the moment, building from deeply personal moments for a first dance or introduction into seamless blending across styles and genres to reach the highest peaks of intensity. I engage with artists from various backgrounds to support events, and have played music across nationalities for manyclients.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

London: Shangri-La / Aqua The Shard Archer Street, SW11 The Soho Residence Belushi’s, Shepherds Bush The Lansdowne Club, Mayfair The Waldorf Astoria Westminster Hall Bayswater Town Hall The Ritz Highclere Castle, Berkshire Charlton Athletic Football Club West Ham United Football Club The Amex (BHAFC Stadium) Epsom Race Course Kempton Park Race Course

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love electronic music, so Jean Michel Jarre / Mike Oldfield / Vangelis are staples. Within the chart music I grew up on the Pet Shop Boys / New Order strand, with a nod to Pink Floyd and Genesis. Dance music is my go to, and Trance particularly - Paul van Dyk, Lange and Ferry Corsten amongst others. I love house music, and play many re-worked classic.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

In London, I perform at the Lansdowne Club, and have done several balls for their members. I also DJed for QBE (kit sponsors to the Rugby Premiership) at Twickenham for the Challenge Cup Final Outside of London I regularly DJ at the large hotels and venues on the south coast, and support Trytag Rugby nationwide, playing at festivals following their events

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Flexibility is one of our Values, and we can adapt setup times, load out times and performance times right up to the day of the event. You event's running order is critical, and we will always be part of a solution to any concerns with timings.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We specialise in supporting bands, and can offer the range and energy change to make sure the band are the focus until their last encore, and then carry the night forward with the songs and styles they haven't covered.

How much time do you need to set up?

From having the equipment in the room we need around 45 minutes to set up, and can provide background music from 30 minutes from starting setup (whilst we are finishing putting lights up etc.)

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

We recommend around 20 tracks for a 'Must Play' list, and then the special tracks (First and Second Dance, Last Three etc.) to form the backbone of your music. Using our experience fro over 3000 functions we craft a wider playlist to hit your high points whilst keeping the rest of the guests engaged, lively and bringing the energy to your dancefloor.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes; with a choice of three different booth styles, speakers capable of playing to 1000 people inside a room and lighting in a variety of configurations to match the mood, style and colour palette of the event we are fully equipped and self contained.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If you require a specific mix of two or more tracks (for a first dance medley for example) this is a specialism on ours. Costs are based upon studio time, and a simple ballad into dance version for transition will be £50. More complex project would be bespoke, and a fee agreed on a case basis. All mixes would have a rough mix and two edits included.
