Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our 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 us know.
How much time do you need to set up?
Set up is usually between 30 mins [for solo or duo performances] and 45 mins for the ceili band. Being able to park and unload as close as possible to the performance area will speed things up. And a downstairs room is always an advantage!
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Yes, no problem. I often bring my own stage piano where there is no piano so either way is good.
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, I have a digital stage piano and PA for it to make sure it is heard.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
No problem at all. I can learn songs from youtube videos and can often find the sheet music online. If no sheet music is available, I can transcribe the song and there is a fee of £30 to do this.
