A space to perform
For solo act, a plug socket is useful but not essential. (Not required for solo trumpet!)
For duo or larger groups, plug sockets are essential
I have my own (small) PA system that will work in pretty much any space!
Is there (free!) parking available at the venue.
Yes I can play Spotify playlists before, between & after sets if required. I can choose the music myself or let the client choose. This service should be requested well before the event, and ideally at time of booking.
Solo - Voice & Trumpet with backing tracks
Setup time 15 minutes
Performance times - option to extend playing time (with 15-minute breaks between) - to be agreed at time of booking
Note - Setup time will be significantly longer if additional instrumentalists are required (duo, trio etc)
Trumpet only, e.g. for wedding ceremony - requirements to be discussed and agreed when booking
I'm very happy to play outside. I need a flat level surface to set up on; cover in case of rain is absolutely critical; shade if likely to be very sunny/hot would be welcome; a power supply to the performance area.
Absolutely! Clients are very welcome to pick out some favourite songs, or the entire setlist, from my repertoire if they wish. I am also happy to learn specific songs if required, which would need to be discussed at the time of booking.
