Customer questions

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event, just let me know.

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

Absolutely. I offer to play music on an iPod once my PA is set up at an agreed time and between sets for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about an hour before the performance time.

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

I am happy to play any songs you like from my set list, and I can also add two additional songs of your choosing. ***Please note*** that if a song is vocally demanding, I will need to adjust it slightly to accommodate my vocal range.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own PA and instruments.

Can you learn song requests 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. ***Please note*** that if a song is vocally demanding, I will need to adjust it slightly to accommodate my vocal range.
