Requires a plug socket if indoors, and shelter if outdoors.
A PA system is provided for all gigs.
If the gig is outdoors, I need to know if there is shelter provided in the case of rain.
I am happy to provide a Spotify playlist, and happy to let the client choose the music.
I love playing at all kinds of events, however weddings and parties are my favourites. The relaxing easy listening setlist complements the happy atmosphere at a wedding, and the upbeat setlist never fails to get people dancing - or even singing at parties! I am always happy to hear a spontaneous "karaoke" performance - sing your hearts out!
Setup usually takes no more than 15 minutes. The usual performance consists of 2x45 minute setlists.
I am happy to play outside, providing adquate shelter is in place in case of rainfall.
The majority of shows consist of a set repertoire list, however I am happy, and encourage clients to request any songs, especially for weddings. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide on-the-spot requests.
