Hi I'm Matt Covering the North West, Lancashire and Manchester, I can work with you to provide the entertainment package and offering you require for your event. I provide entertainment for Weddings, parties, functions, corporate events and charity events etc I provide and offer everything from background music to full on party mode disco time. With a vast knowledge of music and valuable experience of knowing what works best and when...but always keen to work with you to provide exactly what you're looking for. Full PA sound system and Lighting are provided as well as any Microphones needed. I can also act as MC (master of Ceremonies)for your wedding or event where needed. I always offer a friendly but professional service and aim to tailor the offering to you and your needs whilst bringing a good time and quality entertainment. If you're just requiring a PA system for your event, I can also provide PA and act as a sound engineer for you. Please get in touch to ask anything at all you'd like to know etc. I also work with amazing live bands, a top photo booth company and brilliant closeup/walk around magicians etc....so I can help with your whole events entertainment if you'd like. GETTING IT RIGHT It’s important that a DJ or entertainer can tell what’s going on in the crowd. I will adapt the sound to suit whatever’s happening on the night in a smooth and natural way that only experienced professionals can achieve. THE MUSIC I always discuss the music in a quick and easy way with clients to understand favourite genres of music, favourite songs, 'must plays' and even 'must not plays'. I can take requests where suitable and can Taylor the music to a themed event or just rely on experience and 'play to the crowd'.
