Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Usually absolutely fine but always to give me as much notice as possible.
How much time do you need to set up?
I like to arrive 45 minutes to an hour before so I can unload and set up.
Do you need any equipment provided to play outdoors?
Just a flat surface.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Absolutely, yes. I love arranging and discovering new music. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take not account arranging and rehearsal time.
