Craig's Reviews

One of the best performance of the clarinet solo I’ve heard

WOW! Just WOW! The pianist, the clarinetist, the horns! Gershwin couldn't have asked for a better performance.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Timing increases will be charged at a new, higher rate. Timing decreases will remain at the original booking rate.

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

Providing an iPod/DJ service is possible, however, if you require a larger sound system than I can offer, I will hire one at additional cost.

How much time do you need to set up?

Generally, I only require 15-20 mins to set up.

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

You are welcome to select pieces you wish me to play or I can decide appropriate works for the event and timing requirements.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I will bring my own instrument/s but may will require the provision of a piano. If a piano is not available, I am happy to organise one for the event (at extra cost).

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If I am given plenty of notice, I am able to learn specific pieces before an event. I am also able to arrange music that is not readily available for my instrument for the event but will incur a £25 arranging fee per song.
