Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Plans can change, 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 just let us know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes I can play background music in between my sets that fit the mood of the event. Alternatively if you have your own playlist you would prefer I can play that too,

How much time do you need to set up?

I can set up very quickly in between 15-30 mins. However I like to make sure I arrive to venues where possible with at least an hour to spare.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure the songs fit the mood at the moment. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service to take into account arrangement and extra practise times.
