Customer questions

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

I can usually alter times with sufficient notice and I always try to accommodate any reasonable requests as i am more than familiar with how quickly circumstances can change.

Yes if required with addition cost with the use of our PA system. If you would like a DJ service either before of after my set finishes until the venue closes then this can be provided for an additional £250.

Yes my set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I am happy to discuss through what you think works best for your event.

I attended the September Soul Night organised by Chris. The music was what I call retro soul music! The night was a mixture of artists singing soul and were music is played. This added to the intimate fun atmosphere where the people in attendance were a nice mixture of ages (Over 21!) and different cultures. I enjoyed the interaction with other people that were there adding to the friendly relaxed atmosphere of which was topped with Chris Browne singing. Adding to the uplifting atmosphere of the night and the geniality of the other punters! Long may it reign and thank you Chris for another ENJOYABLE NIGHT!!! Jax
