Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Energy, engagement, professionalism
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
The Ned, The Ivy, Piano Works, The Dorchester, Boisdale... to name a few. Plus some of the leading concert halls and performance spaces across the world from Australia, China and Europe.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Too many to count! Bach to Bacharach, Sibelius to Sigala. But mostly I just play from the heart.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No problem, just get in touch and I will always do my best to accommodate where possible.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely - you want the dance mode to continue, right?
How much time do you need to set up?
30mins
Can I pick the songs 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.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, although it's also good to know what's available in your venue, as that can help for flexibility and crowd interaction.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Always open to discussion :)
