Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.”
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes. If there is a gap between sets where you want some music, I have an mp3 player setlist I can play which is in keeping with the live music I perform. Equally I am more than happy to run your Ipod or Mp3 player through my speaker if you have music you would like played.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually specify an hour to comfortably set up, though typically arrive 90 mins before I play to be on the safe side.
If there are time/logistical restrictions at your event I could set up more quickly in about 20 - 30 mins!
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
You always invite clients to specify any songs from my repertoire that you definitely want me to include in the set, or even if there are any you would rather I leave out.
I also offer the option of learning a song not in my repertoire free of charge.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I bring all my own equipment to play and for amplification. All I need is access to a plug socket (I have my own cable reels) and a chair without arms - though if I know there aren't going to be any I can bring this myself too!
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I also offer the option of learning a song not in my repertoire free of charge.
I am also happy to learn additional pieces for a fee of £30 per piece.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
The intimate and delicate sound and musicality of the love songs performed, coupled with the modern song choices, and also some of the 'cheeky' uptempo pop songs played.

Scampston Hall, Malton, North Yorkshire
Haigh Hall, Wigan, Lancs
