Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I always like to arrive 1-2 hours before the performance to setup. I normally perform 1 hour set, 2 x 45 minute sets or 2 x 60 minute sets.
I'm happy to play a bit longer or shorter but I've found that these times suit me and my clients the best.

I'm happy to play outside as long as there is good shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.
