Customer questions

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

Will try to be as flexible as possible, just let me know as early as you can.

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

I certainly can and get asked for this additional service often. Let me know set times and I can send an additional quote.

How much time do you need to set up?

Around 30mins but I'll arrive at least one hour before my first set begins.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring everything I need. The only thing I might need from you is access to a power supply and if outside possibly some type of shelter/gazebo.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I can, if i's not part of my current repertoire there is a small fee for this to take into account rehearsal times.
