A decent power supply
Enough space to effectively mount speakers and perform around 4 metres width minimum
Yes - I use high end gear made by Dynacord / EV and a sennheiser microphone. I can also provide lighting and a starcloth backdrop
Mainly how to get from unloading to the setup I.E. distance, stairs etc would be helpful
Yes I have an iPod full of songs
Yes - I use high end PA equipment made by EV / Dynacord and use a Sennheiser microphone. I also have a starcloth backdrop and lights if required
During my years as an army musician I performed at The Royal Albert Hall, Earls Court, Edinburgh Tattoo, Horse Guards London, Buckingham Palace, and many more
My go to for listening is mainly jazz/funk I.e. brand new heavies, level 42, incognito, jamiroquai, basically feel good funky stuff!
I have been a professional musician since 1991 and I started solo gigging singing and sax around 2005
Any - I’m highly adaptable to all ages and all sizes of venue
Any combination of sets / times can be accommodated and agreed prior to the gig - price is reflected in the length of overall performance time.
Everything from jazz and swing to soul, charts and Ibiza club stuff (sax mainly for this element)
I’d need around 30 minutes to setup a normal PA system - if adding lights and starcloth backdrop then up to 60 minutes setup
Yes, as long as the power supply has passed electrical safety testing and there’s sufficient cover if it’s either very hot or likely to be raining
To an extent yes, I can accommodate most requests from an already extensive repertoire or in most circumstances I can learn specific requests
I’ve not had a bad report since I started my career over 30 years ago - I’m highly adaptable and can deliver background stuff to a full hi-energy cabaret show
