Customer questions

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Ivy Gordon Ramsey's Indonesian Restaurant Mayfair The Langham London

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 and I'll do my best to juggle my other bookings.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my 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!

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

Yes.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! My own PA etc and I bring my own instrument to play acoustically or with a mic.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

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