Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My ability to interract with and read the crowd.

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

I can be flexible within reason.

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

Yes

How much time do you need to set up?

30 mins

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

You can select a few songs that you want included (or excluded) but I don't like to promise exact set lists, as it is dependant on the crowd and how people are vibing, so I will often change on the fly to suit the audience.
