What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I've been performing as a duet with the pianist at a casino party at Churston Golf Club. A lot of people in the audience were thanking the organiser for the jazz night, even though the main highlight of the event was supposed to be the casino tables!
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, please let me know as soon as you can.

I normally play background music between the sets.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
We bring our own PA or amplifiers.
Can you learn specific pieces 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 perform, I am happy to do learn it for you.
