What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'm able to be flexible for most events, so if there are any changes to your timings in the run up to the event or during the event, please do just let me know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes! For music provided before and during sets this is part of the package.
How much time do you need to set up?
For self contained performances I usually arrive at least 45 mins prior to the performance to set up the PA and be ready to perform. I can provide a free playlist to play through the PA as soon as it is set up.
For Sax and DJ Performances, where the DJ is provided by the client, I only need to plug in my wireless microphone.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Absolutely! I can curate the list for you based on your general preferences, or you are welcome to check the song list and send requests. Equally, you are welcome to request songs for the set.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes! There is no equipment required from the client or venue.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Absolutely! I am happy to offer this free of charge. The requests will be dependent on availability of professional backing tracks, but I try my best to take on all requests. This is particularly popular for wedding ceremonies.
