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?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, I provide this for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance!

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

Yes that's fine, and song suggestions are also an option.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically. If you have equipment that is also an option.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, that's fine and included in the price.

Reviews

You are such a humble, talented person with an excellent music ministry. God's anointing poured out in abundance. I hope you come to play for us again! x

My husband and I got married in July 2018, and Ruth and Samson (SamRuth) were a true blessing on our wedding day. Their sensational duet performance left the audience in awe and was the perfect special item for our wedding ceremony. Their blend of jazz and gospel is uniquely presented and their passion for music and God beamed through the entire rendition. My husband and I were so overwhelmed by the majestic harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies they graced us with. Absolutely inspirational!
