Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I will always try my very best to be flexible and to help your event run smoothly. Just let me know if timings change in the run up to your event and I will do my upmost to help and accommodate.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes I can provide music in between my ‘playing’ if requested. I am happy to provide gentle sounds or more upbeat music, let me know what you would like and we can discuss playlists.
How much time do you need to set up?
My set up time is pretty short, usually around 10 minutes is adequate. A little longer if I am also providing recorded music other than myself playing in between sets.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes. I am also happy to sing a few songs if requested.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I will bring all the equipment I need. If needed, I can bring a battery amplifier, to play in an outside space without electricity.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes I can, or will certainly do my best! I would obviously ask for enough time to learn and prepare.
