Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try to allow extra time when I'm booked incase of any time changes and I will always try to be as flexible as I can be. If timings change in the lead up to the event just let me know as soon as.
How much time do you need to set up?
I like to give myself about an hour to set up.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
I'm using this platform to come in as a dep on gigs so more than happy to be told what to play, what to do.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes
