Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
They love the versatility of the music I play. If you want to go from 90s garage, to 50s soul, to Noughties cheesy-pop, go for it! I have good rapport with my audiences and love to play about with my sets.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Everywhere! In bands in the past, I've performed at Wembley, Old Trafford, St. James' Park - all sorts!
I've performed in Yoga Studios on the beaches of France, and clubs in Wigan!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
There's an artist called Joey Landreth, who I love - I think he's probably the most down-to-earth, yet emotive singer/songwriter I could name!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I've played at the rugby Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford - that one made me slightly nervous!!!
But I love any attentive audience, no matter how small.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I will always try to accommodate for this, so I never overbook myself. If timings/days change, please just give me as much notice as possible and we can try and work things out.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I can provide a Spotify playlist through the PA between my sets if there is a short break - this would be absolutely free!
I'm afraid I can't offer a full DJ service though.
How much time do you need to set up?
I like to try to set up and get settled around an hour before the performance starts at least. I can work around your schedule and provide some light music whilst setting up to get your guests ready!
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
My set lists are completely up to you! It's my speciality. I have a long repertoire of songs which I know to work amazingly well, but the overall style of the set is your choice, and you can request as many songs/artists as you'd like!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, everything I need!
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Absolutely, this is all part of the deal!
