Customer questions

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

I will try my very best to be flexible, I always build in some wriggle room anyway when quoting for jobs :-)

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

Absolutely - I can either provide a premixed playsuit, or you are welcome to give me a device with your own playlist on for no extra cost. I am also a DJ so if you'd like to add that service on I can quote for that option too.

How much time do you need to set up?

45 minutes is ideal but I can do it quicker if needs be!

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

I will work with you to understand the music you enjoy, so I can choose the right style of music for your event/venue, to ensure you and your guests have an amazing time.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I do indeed - I have a full PA system and stage lighting if required.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes - for weddings and parties, I'm always happy learn a special song request, with enough notice.
