Tom's Reviews

5 out of 5

Tom really made my 40th celebration- he had everyone dancing!

Tom brought such an infectious positive vibe and sound that had everyone on their feet and dancing all night long. It was incredible to see how all ages enjoyed his music and couldn't resist joining in the fun. Each tune he played was an absolute hit, and what made it even more special, was the way he can personalise each one to suit a party. Thank you once again, Tom, for being the absolute topping of the cake at our party. We can't wait to recommend you to all our friends and family!

Absolutely top performance from Tom last night for my 50th. Lots of dancing and singing along. Thank you Tom for making our celebration really special, you rocked!

Customer questions

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

Certainly! I'm happy to keep the music going through the break to maintain the atmosphere, and there's no extra charge for that.

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically set up approximately an hour before the performance. Once my PA is ready, I'm more than happy to offer a complimentary playlist service to enhance the atmosphere and prepare your guests for the live performance!

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

My set lists are curated from numerous performances, ensuring an amazing time. I begin with acoustic favourites to set the tone, then transition to energetic party vibes with feel-good classics. I’m open to discussing your event’s needs and happy to learn a special song, such as your first dance, as part of the service.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I use the Bose L1 Compact Portable PA system. It's a discreet one-speaker system with a powerful design, ensuring excellent audio quality and portability. If your event requires over 200 watts, I can smoothly collaborate with your team.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, I can learn a special song request before the event. If the song isn’t on the list, there’s still a chance I might already know it. A special song, like your first dance, is included in the service, allowing you to personalise your event and make it truly yours.
