Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I am always happy to be as flexible as possible. If timings do change please keep me updated and it's usually no problem at all.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes I'd be happy to play background music between sets if required.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually set up between 1 - 1.5 hours before the performance time. This give me time to do a quick sound check and get changed.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
My set list is always put together to create the best flow for your particular event. However if you have any specific requests from my repertoire then I'm always happy to chat this through with you.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I sure do! I have a small and unobtrusive PA and require about 5 square feet of space to accomodate the speakers. Usually the corner of a room works well for this, unless of course there is a stage.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I love learning new songs! If you'd like me to learn something special for the day then just let me know. I do charge £25 for this service and it's dependent on whether I can access a suitable backing track.
