Customer questions

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

I will always try my best to accommodate any changes in timings as usually if I am booked for a gig, I will leave contingency time and often have the whole day off in preparation, so time changes would not generally be an issue.

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

N/A

How much time do you need to set up?

10 minutes minimum but preferably an hour before to get settled and try out the acoustics is ideal.

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

I have repertoire lists, but if there are particular pieces or songs you would like to be played, then I'm also happy to source and perform anything required, to make the event personal to you.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I bring everything needed for acoustic performances. For the duo show I may require amplification but this can also be externally sourced if required.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes absolutely, I can play pretty much anything you would like!
