What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Not a problem! I try to be as flexible as possible on the day of the event as i know these things can happen around your schedule - all i ask is to be notified as early as possible of any changes to timings!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer a playlist service for free between sets (which can be tailored to your taste).
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually set up at least 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!”
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
My set lists is crafted from countless performances from over a decade and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a song isn't included in the song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I'd be happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £20 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
