Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I hold myself to the highest musical standards as I've been a performer for over 15 years now! I also enjoy playing a range of genres rather than just one or two. But I'm also generally very easy going and try to remain as flexible as possible with thing such as a change in plans or timing. I just want my client to enjoy my performance and be happy!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Royal Hall, Harrogate.
Various hotels & pubs around Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Jack Johnson, Stevie Wonder, Paolo Nutini, Red Hot Chili Peppers.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Masham village festival, performing to roughly 2000 people.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
This is absolutely fine providing the total play time is as agreed and the timings don't shift by more than 2 hours.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I'm happy to offer this service for free, however you can also pay an add-on fee if you'd like this to continue later into the night(after my performance time). The charge will depend on the extra time required.
How much time do you need to set up?
15 minutes.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely, happy to be flexible with song choices.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I do, I have everything needed to perform(even without electrical power if necessary).
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Absolutely, happy to be flexible with song choices. Though due to the time it takes to learn new material and perfect it ready for performance, there is a charge for this.
