What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Featured Artist at Word4Word's Poetry Slam in Theatre Royal, Stratford
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?
N/A
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually set up about half an hour before the performance time.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Of course. I'm also 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 and amplifier.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If there's a popular song you'd like me to cover then please contact me about it. There is a fee of £30 for this service, and I would ideally need to know at least 3 weeks before the event to take into account rehearsal times etc.
