What if my timings change after I've booked you?
“I always try my best to be flexible and to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.”
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
As I am only a session musician that works for the band, I usually leave service this to the band.
How much time do you need to set up?
“I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time!” but I am flexible and will always try to comply with the clients wishes".
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, If the piece is not on my song list, I am happy for you to send me references to the track, so I can learn it and make my own charts (if needed) in time for the performance.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
“Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument and backline.”
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
“If a song isn't included in my song list, there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I am happy to do this for you".
