Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
As long as it is a reasonable change with enough notice, there shouldn't be an issue. I do have a life outside of gigging but as music is my passion I am always happy to reshuffle where possible.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I can if given enough notice, but would prefer not to.
How much time do you need to set up?
Usually between 30-45 minutes including a soundcheck. My usual aim is to arrive at least 1hr prior to the start time.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
If you'd like to. My usual approach is to play some middle of the road songs to gauge the rooms reaction and then play songs as I see fit, or based on requests.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes. Sometimes extra extension leads are helpful if the performance area is not situated near a power supply. However, if you have your own in-house system, I am happy to lower my price accordingly.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Within reason and with enough notice. I frequently learn new material and would love to go the extra mile to make your event special.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I engage the crowd, sing very clearly and use my personality to involve the crowd and get them singing along.
I pride myself on setting a great atmosphere to listen to songs you forgot you loved.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Pride of Rotterdam
