What if my timings change after I've booked you?
That's usually fine as long as I have a couple of weeks notice. Keep me informed of any changes and I will always try to be as flexible as possible!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I am happy to provide music through my PA between sets until closing for an additional £100
How much time do you need to set up?
I'll need around 1 hour. If you need me to arrive before, I can do that for an additional fee agreed.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
My set lists are created from countless performances and learning what works best for the given environment. However, I am always happy to chat through and make sure that together, we find what works best for your event!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
As long as nothing else is arranged, I will bring everything I need for the event!
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. I learn around 2 songs for free, and then there is a fee of £30 for any additional songs for this service to take into account rehearsal times.
