Customer questions

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

I totally understand that timings sometimes change. I'll always try my best to be as flexible as possible to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible :)

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

Yes! That's is no problem :) If you have your own playlist, you are more than welcome to use my speakers. If you would like to use my speakers after I have finished playing, I could also provide this for an additional cost.

How much time do you need to set up?

I only need 30 minutes to set up. Though I'll be at the venue around an hour before I begin playing to set up :)

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes - all equipment is included in the price. All I need is space to perform, and a power source to plug in to.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list, there may be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you would like me to learn, send me a message please. :)
