Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I get a lot of nice compliments about the tone of my playing and the selection of pieces I play. As well as my shabby attempt at becoming a compare!!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Royal Albert Hall
Birmingham Symphony hall
Sheldonian Theatre
Milan
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Adam Rapa is one I really look up to for my trumpet playing. His ability to play so smooth and the flexibility of the styles he plays in is truly incredible!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Definitely the time I was asked to perform in the Yamaha Highlight concert in Milan where I was asked to play the trumpet part to the piece composed by contender from England.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
If my timings have changed after you have booked I will first contact you with my new timings. If I can't perform for as long as you would like then we can arrange a change in the fees that are paid. Full refund if I am unable to attend at all!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I'm not really able to due to a lack of speakers. However if a PA system is provided I have a selection of playlists that i can play to get the guests in the swing of it while I set up
How much time do you need to set up?
The average time i need to setup will depend on if I'm performing with anyone. with piano it is just a case of opening the lid and moving it to the right place. All my performances are acoustic so do not need any microphones
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes you can! I can happily send a set list of pieces that I normally play but will be very happy to take custom songs but please tell me around 2 weeks before the performance so I can get them to the standard that's required
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes I perform acoustically so no need to provide amps
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes I'm a fluent sight-reader which helps me quickly learn your song requests for your event as and when asked to.
