Customer questions

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

That's fine, as long as the changes have been shared and negotiated.

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

Bookings also include my in house sound engineer, who is able to offer his Laptop DJ service (playing in between sets), at no extra cost. He can also arrive early, provide his cordless mic and play after the band have finished, for an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

My sound engineer will arrive at least 2 hours before the first, live performance.

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

My clients can choose 2-3 songs within my repertoire. I'm happy to learn a 1st dance song that isn't part of my repertoire. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes. If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times.
