"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!"

Can any DJ live play my favourite song?

My venue has asked for the performerโs 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 ยฃ10 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.
