Customer questions
Do you have different line-up options?
Solo musician on profile - also have other line-up options:
Female folk song duo (guitar, concertina, fiddle, voices)
4-piece folk band (accordion, 2 x fiddle, mandolin
Guitar accompaniment available
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I will often book out a whole day for events/concerts to allow for contingency - I will try my best to work with you and ensure that your event runs efficiently. Just keep in touch!
How much time do you need to set up?
This depends on the line up - minimum 20mins but I will extend this if you want a slightly bigger line-up.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Of course! The list is there as a guide, but I will always work with a client on making sure the music is appropriate and meets your needs/taste.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes. I bring my own instrument to play acoustically. In some cases I will need amplification, but we can discuss surrounding options.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes I can - there may be additional fees due to extra rehearsal time. This all depends on how much time in advance the booking is made.
