Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'm able to offer a flexible service. I've performed all over the world and at all types of functions so I know occasionally, or even usually, things don't always go to plan.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I certainly can, bring some wires though just in case. This is free of charge throughout the booking period. So, for example, if I'm booked from 8 until 11 pm, there'll be no charge for an iPod service during that time. If you require it for longer than the booking period. we can make arrangements for a small extra fee.
How much time do you need to set up?
For an acoustic performance, 30 minutes should be fine.
If there are special load in considerations, such as a very long distance from vehicle to performance room, this may increase fractionally.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes you can. These pieces are only a selection I do from a much larger list which is available on request. Should you have requests of your own, just ask. I love a challenge.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I'm fully inclusive carrying instruments, PA, lights, microphones, and wires.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes I can. I've performed at countless weddings as Northern Vinyl/Gig Machine's vocalist and sung many first dance requests.
Below are some examples:
Everlong: The Foo Fighters
You Do Something To Me/Pretty Flamingo: Paul Weller
Thinking Out Loud Ed Sheeran
Grow Old With Me Tom Odell
Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond
In My Life The Beatles
It Must Be Love Madness
