David sang "Happy Birthday," which was a very kind gesture from him, and performed incredibly well, keeping everyone engaged the entire time at my friend's daughter's birthday celebration.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients appreciate that I am polite and respectful, always going the extra mile to ensure a smooth and stress-free event on their important day.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My influences range from Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruno Mars, Tracey Chapman, Elvis, Oasis, Boys II Men, New Edition, Green Day and Nirvana.

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

We 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.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £200.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 30 minutes to 1 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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, we're 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, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times if the request exceeds 3 songs.
