Customer questions

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

This doesn't matter- I'm relaxed with timings and things do change! There won't be an extra charge, and i'll make a note.

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

Unfortunately not, although I do know a good DJ!

How much time do you need to set up?

Approx 45 minutes for keyboard and P.A, although if a piano is available i'll play right away!

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Definitely, a piano is preferable and would always favour a piano if your venue has one available!

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

Yes definitely! I'm also open to requests.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, at an additional charge of £50.00

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, as long as you give me enough notice.
