What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Good Question.
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?
Not a Dj, but as soon as our PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance and the same service can be provided between our sets.!

I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.

If there is a special song you'd like me to learn and there is enough time to do it, I would be happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £40 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc
