Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We always try our 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 us know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, I can live some songs playing between my sets, although I'm not DJ. In case of the PA is mine, and you want to keep it playing after my performance, I also can do it for an additional £100.
How much time do you need to set up?
It's pretty fast to setup if there's everything on good conditions. Anyway I'm used to setup 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Yes, sure.. please :)
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I always bring the Saxophone, my own microphone for sax (to connect on the venue's PA) and my own effects setup.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes, it is possible. Although it is not on my list it's still a possibility of I already know the song. If I don't know the song yet, we can discuss it, depends on which song and how much time. In some cases can be charged a fee of £30 per song for urgent rehearsal.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
It's hard to answer this question. The feedback is always very positive. Probably the my interpretation and how it sounds at all.
