Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Event organising is often a delicate art, and plans have a tendency to change. That’s why I make an effort to be flexible. I’ll be very happy to accommodate timing changes where I can, and free of charge where I can.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
My equipment is capable of playing through an aux lead, which I normally bring along! This service is absolutely free of charge. If this is something you’d like please do let me know on booking.
How much time do you need to set up?
I have my set up down to a fine art and generally take less than half an hour to get my equipment sorted and tested. I tend to leave a bit of a longer margin for this, but I have snuck in and secretly set up in ten minutes for a surprise performance whilst a customer was distracting her husband at the bar!
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely, I’m here to entertain you and I value your input. My set list has been informed by countless performances and learning what works best for guests to have a good time, so I have got it covered, but I’m very happy to chat through your ideas for your night.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I certainly do. All I need from you is somewhere to plug into.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn’t included in my set list there’s still a chance I might know it. If there is a special song you’d like me to learn however I can get the practised up to performance standard for you in time for the event. This might be subject to a small fee for this service though, depending on my familiarity with the song and it’s complexity (learning time).
