Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
If any details change or if you have any questions then please do just get in touch. There's very little that can't be solved with a quick message or phone call!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is something that I provide for free.
How much time do you need to set up?
Generally around an hour prior to the first set start time. Once the PA system is up and running, I'm happy to provide a free playlist service in order to start setting the atmosphere before the live music starts.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Making a setlist that flows and allows the guests to have the best time possible is something that I have spent years learning (in the early days, learning the hard way!) but if there's one song that's guaranteed to get your Auntie Janet dancing on the tables or a favourite band you can't live without then let me know and I'll be sure to include them.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Of course! I bring my own PA system and can even play shorter performances outdoors without access to power if necessary.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Absolutely. I am constantly learning songs to add to my repertoire so I may even already know it. However, if there is a special song that you'd like me to learn then I'd be more than happy to do so. There is a fee of £50 for this service to account for rehearsal time.
