We just wanted to say thank you so much for all the effort you put into making our party a fantastic evening…as people were leaving, they were all thanking us for a great night and saying how fantastic you were. We hope an opportunity arise for our paths to cross again in the future. Craig & Sarah.

Customer questions

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

I understand that plans can be subject to change and try to offer as much flexibility where I can in order to ensure that your needs are met and the event goes as smoothly as possible.

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

Yes, iPod /DJ service can. D added for an additional £100.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually require approx 45 mins to 1 hour to set up and do a quick sound check.

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

Set lists are tailored to your needs and requirements, so we can definitively have a two-way discussion about what will work best for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Unless I’ve been requested to use the in-house equipment at a venue, I bring everything that I need to perform.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
