Daniel Docherty's Reviews

5 out of 5

Where can I start! Daniel has been fantastic throughout the process from the moment we checked out his profile on this. Good communication and understanding of what we were looking for. Daniel has such a great vibe which was totally what we wanted for our special day. Even with our last minute decision for a first dance he was more than happy to learn a song in just a couple of minutes. A true professional in every sense of the word. Also very accommodating and helpful for those who wanted to sing for us in the night 😅 Anyone who is looking for the best party/ atmosphere this is your guy!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

I mostly perform solo. This includes; vocal, guitar and a stompbox (Sounds like an acoustic bass drum). However, I am also happy to discuss other options ☺️

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 :)

Can you roam around while you perform?

Yeah roaming around is no problem - If you could let me know this is something you would like, that would be great to know in advance :)

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

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. :)
