Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know. As long as there is no clash with another booking we will definitely be able so come to some arrangement.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
This is a really popular request and can be arranged. There will be an additional cost.
How much time do you need to set up?
The depends on the scale of the gig and the equipment required. For a smaller set up 30 mins will be needed to be on the safe side.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event and ensure that those special songs you love are included.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I do. However, if you have a separately booked DJ it might be more make more sense to use their equipment. This can be discussed with the DJ.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Providing the song is the right genre, there is enough time for me to get hold of the track and learn the song satisfactorily before the event then I am happy to do so.
