Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 45 minutes prior to my playing time and will need 30 minutes to set up my PA and sound check. It’s a small PA so doesn’t take much time at all to set up.

For weddings ceremonies I usually provide music as guests are being seated and then play during the ceremony. For reception drinks or wedding breakfast I provide 2x40mins sets with a 15mins break. I am very happy to play longer or shorted depending on costs and my timings are very flexible.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes absolutely! I just ask to have some shade to protect the instrument and a power supply close to the performance space.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I personally tailor my set lists to what you would like musically and I am very flexible in regards to being led by the type of style or mood you would like on the day.
