Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Send me a text/message and I will do my utmost to meet your new requirements!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely, I always try and get some background music on as soon as possible if there’s nothing playing already.

How much time do you need to set up?

If I am using my own equipment I can be ready to start playing in 20minutes. My equipment is so easy to set up, all I need is a plug socket x

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Currently I work around a pretty tight set list

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! I just need electricity xx
