Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I like to keep things fun, upbeat and I can sing very well.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I try to be as flexible as I can, if timings change in the run up and it doesn’t conflict with any other bookings I can usually be accommodating.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
If you would like to plug in your own playlist to my PA after the performance I can provide this for additional fee.
How much time do you need to set up?
It usually takes me 30 minutes to set up and begin playing.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes! I have set list that is crafted from countless performances and have a good idea what works best for different audiences but I’m very happy to have a chat and see if there’s anything you particularly like.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I bring my PA, pedal board, instrument and myself!
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
There may be a chance I know the song if it is not on my set list. If not, it is possible I can learn a song given a reasonable amount of notice.
