What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Big Band show in Switzerland for its President/Governor's private party
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'm open to communication throughout the entire booking process up to performance date and there's certainly a margin of flexibility
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Certainlyh
How much time do you need to set up?
It depends whether the event needs strictly background guitar+monitor or whether I ought to cover a large area/hall/yard-garden-farm and I need to bring a high caliber PA which could get into the hour(s) kind of timing. Also depends in the load in protocols.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Definitely and furthermore, additional pieces not on the setlist are welcome as long as I'm briefed in advance (weeks prior to the event)
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Correct ; sometimes venues offer their house systems too and I can accommodate any set ups. Furthermore, I'm also vendor insured with adequate musician's liability insurance for any type of venue-event.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Totally! Only note to be briefed minimum 1-2 weeks prior to the event for obvious reasons.
