I performed at the London Film Festival on two occasions with guests present such as Robert DeNiro, Viola Davis and Daniel Kaluuya
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try to be flexible in order to create the best possible performance day. Just try to communicate and give as much notice as possible if there are any changes
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I can offer this upon request. There is a Bluetooth function built into my PA which is a firm favourite of guests.

Of course. Sometimes that is easier to do
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes. I am able to bring my on keyboard and PA system. All my equipment is PAT tested and I have PLI. This can be included at an extra cost if this is a derived you would like
