I first saw Danny Toeman at the O2 arena when he was the opening act for Kool and the Gang, and was so blown away by his voice and stage presence, I jokingly thought ‘maybe I’ll hire him to sing at my wedding’. Despite Covid delays, we finally made it to that day! Not only did Danny and his talented band put on a show that everyone loved, but he was a pleasure to work with in the organisation and planning stages. A Real Superstar.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

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

Timing changes are rarely a problem, and I am always adaptable. If the timing of the event changes to include more than the originally alotted stage time, an additional fee might be incurred.

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

This is possible, but at an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

It usually takes me 30 minutes to set up. I like to arrive early, so I'm not still setting up while guests are arriving or already there.

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

Upon booking, I send a long list of my repertoire for you to tick the columns of 'YES', 'NO', 'IF THE MOOD IS RIGHT' for the particular songs you would like performed at your event. In regards to set order, with the exception of prefered opening and closing songs, I tend to create the running.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring all the necessary equipment needed for small to medium, and house/indoor events. If your event is taking place in a large outdoor setting or a hall, additionally PA equipment might be needed, which would require additional travel costs.

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 us to learn we are happy to do this for you, although there might be small fee for purchasing sheet music, and rehearsing.
