Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

POWER REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum of two power sockets

SPACE REQUIREMENTS:
- Ideally I need a minimum playing/stage area of 6 feet wide by 4 feet deep (approx 1.8 metres x 1.2 metres). If you're unsure, don't worry, I'll always find a way of making it work!

PARKING REQUIREMENTS:
- 1 parking space, preferably as near as possible to the main entrance of the building I will be playing in.

OUTSIDE PERFORMANCE:
- Require: suitable flat ground; back, side and overhead cover (or at least be in shade); a power supply close to the performance area.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I am fully self-contained and bring my own PA system, music equipment and lighting.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know any specific directions that will help us find the venue, whether or not there is parking onsite and the best place to load in my equipment.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

- I can provide pre-recorded music for up to 1 hour prior to performance + between sets - this service is free of charge. Unfortunately, you and your guests won't be able to request specific songs.
- If you would prefer, you can bring along your own device and play your own playlist through my PA system instead.

- If you'd like music after my performance, I can discuss this for an additional fee. This is not strictly a DJ service, however, so you and your guests won't be able to request specific songs.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

SET-UP & SOUND-CHECK:
- I need 1 hour to set-up and sound-check so typically we will arrive at the venue 1 hour prior to my performance start time. The sound-check will require me to play at the volume that the performance will be at but usually lasts only 5-10 minutes.

EARLY SET-UP (e.g. before guests arrive):
- If required, I am happy to finish my set-up and sound-check up to 1 hour before my performance start time, without additional fees.
- Should you require me to finish my set-up and sound-check more than 1 hour before my performance start time, this will incur an additional fee charged at £30 per hour.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE/SET TIMES:
1.5 HOURS (2 x 45 minute sets)
2 HOURS (2 x 1 hour or 3 x 40 minute sets)
2.5 HOURS (2 x 1.25 hours or 3 x 50 minute sets)
3 HOURS (3 x 1 hour or 4 x 45 minute sets)

BREAKS:
- Minimum of one break required.
- Suggested length of breaks between sets: 15 - 30 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to perform outside but will require suitable flat ground; back, side and overhead cover (or at least be in shade); a power supply close to the performance area.


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

SONG REQUESTS:
- If there is a particular song you would like me to play that isn't in my repertoire, then I will be happy to learn it for you to make your event even more special. All I need is at least 2 weeks notice to allow time to learn it and there is a fee of £50 for this service, to take into account rehearsal time etc.

SETLIST CHOICE:
- Prior to the event, I will provide you with my full repertoire to give you the opportunity to choose the songs you would like me to play for you.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients typically say that I am very professional and highly skilled, provide great quality entertainment and get everyone up dancing and singing along.
