Customer questions

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

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know

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

Definitely. This is a very popular request and I always offer this service for free

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Absolutely! So long as the piano is in working order and in tune, I would be delighted to play on it

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

My set lists are crafted from multiple performances and learning what works best to ensure the right atmosphere is created. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure I find what works for your event

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, absolutely! Very often I bring my 88-key Yamaha P45 stage piano with built-in speakers and dedicated PA

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes absolutely. I offer 2 of your song requests (that aren't on my standard repertoire list) for free and then an additional charge for each new song request after that. One month's notice to allow for rehearsal time!
