"Caroline and Alastair made our staff party! On a sweltering summer day they were the touch of magic - with Caroline on the sax from 5pm to 11pm - that's endurance! They were lively, fun, the crowd loved them and I couldn't recommend them enough if you want your party to be energetic, fun and with the perfect mix of DJ sprinkled with some live jazz/ guitar!"

FAQs about hiring DJ live acts in the UK
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any DJ live play my favourite song?
Professional DJ live musicians will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that DJ live musicians may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the DJ live's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do DJ live musicians take to set up?
Your DJ live musicians will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the DJ live musicians prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our DJ live acts are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our DJ live acts will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
