What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Playing for 40,000 people at Sheffield United! Playing to a packed out Royal Albert Hall with the RNCM Session Orchestra!

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

Not to worry! just let me know with plenty of time and i will check my diary for availability again and let you know as soon as I can! 99% of the time there is no problem at all. I always try to flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible!

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

This is something I can provide for Drinks Reception gigs in between my sets (which will be included in my fee) however, for evening receptions/parties I don't provide this service as the value of a DJ is much for desirable. They can read the crowd, have a greater knowledge of repertoire and have years of experience.

How much time do you need to set up?

Depending on the gig for a standard Dj/Sax gig with a DJ already booked it only takes me 15 minutes maximum to come and get plugged in however, I always arrive 30-45 minutes prior to my performance time. For drinks reception gigs I arrive even earlier from 1-1.5 hours before performance time to get my PA set up and sound checked.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'd definitely be 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! I bring my own instrument to play, my microphone and PA if required).

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Absolutely, I have a limit of 2 song requests free of charge then after that I charge a Β£5 fee per song to take into account rehearsal times and extra preparation.
