Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Slight adjustments in running order or times are natural and understandable . I will always endeavour to work with you . Once a booking has been confirmed you can contact me directly to make any adjustments .
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes . I alwys have a playlist of songs that are suitable to the music I am providing both before during and after my sets . . Plus party playlists from The 00’s . And 70’s disco classics . For fun and frolics
How much time do you need to set up?
Usually I would require one hour in which to get in , set up and sound check And have an atmosphere play list ready for guests. An adequate space cleared and ready for me to set up with one small table is always of great help . .
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Within reason yes . ! Some people prefer to hear more of one genre than another . For example if you want more 50’s than 70’s or less regggae and more brit pop . This can be discussed and arranged at the booking stage
Specific songs can be requested in advance and I will always do my best to accommodate
