Customer questions

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

We always try our 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 us know.”

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

Yes. I can provide a fantastic playlist of songs, from French chansons to Funk, Soul, Latino, Electro Swing and Reggae, for between and after a performance. In between the performance this will be free of charge. After the performance there will be a charge of £100-.

How much time do you need to set up?

I will need a minimum of 30 Minutes to set up, and another 20 minutes to get changed.

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

We have a standard setlist that has been created with love and care for over many years. If you have a song you would like us to perform that is not already in our setlist, we ask a supplement of £50.- per song. However, it's very likely that it's already in our setlist, so please let us know.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! Depending on how many people will attend, we can bring a PA too.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £50 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc. ”
