Here are some frequently asked questions about my show:
Q: What type of music do you have/play?
A: pretty much everything you would want at a party from most eras but you can check out my catalogue here
If there's anything particular that you want played and you don't see it (indexed here by artist) I can usually get hold of it if you give me enough notice.
Q: Do you need a long time to set up?
A: usually around an hour from getting my equipment in unless you are including uplighters in which case add about 45minutes. I can do early set ups for special circumstances eg: having the wedding breakfast in the same room with no break but I usually have to make a small surcharge of £40.00 to cover extra time and fuel. Security must be good if I'm going to leave equipment at the venue for the afternoon.
Q: Do you leave your equipment over night?
A: No Never. I'm not insured for such risk. It all has to come out at the end with me and that takes around the same time (around 1 hour) so please let the management of the venue know about it.
Q: Do you talk a lot?
A: It depends on the crowd on the night. If you are all well up for a party I talk a little more, but I never allow it to dominate the music. I try to talk in the intros like a radio DJ would so as not to crash the vocal. That being said, I don't have the song intro times in front of me like they do on the radio, so it's not always quite as perfect.
Q: Do you do announcments?
A: Of course. Every gig has it's announcements like the buffet, last orders, special dedications or ad lib performances by the guests etc. I will announce with confidence, clarity and as they say in drama: Projection ie: getting the message accross.
Q: Do you do karaoke? Not at this time. I love to do it myself as an ex musician but it's a whole new area of investment and I don't honestly think the small demand justifies the outlay unless I had a regular gig somewhere. If you have a backing track and want to do a one off, I will allow you to sing, provided you are not too drunk, as dropping the microphone can seriously damage the speakers when they are not damage-limited like a proper karaoke set up is (for just that reason).
Q: Do you allow drinks on the dance floor?
A: Ok so I don't actually get asked this. I simply wanted to state that if you do take them onto the floor then I will try to discourage you from doing so based on health, safety and grim previous experience! Electronics and Alchohol/liquids really don't mix well. In fact in some severe cases it may end the gig there and then, so please let your guests know as telling them before-hand will have more effect than me on the night. You'll be seen as a responsible and much loved host. I'll be seen as a killjoy!
Q: How far do you go to perform?
A: I am based in Worthing in West Sussex and I go pretty much as far as Bournmouth to the West and Hastings to the East. I can go all the way up to Central London although thankfully I don't get asked to very often, as the London traffic and congestion charge needs considerable preparation and time, not to mention parking.
Q: Do you bring anyone to the gig with you?
A: Sometimes I'll bring an assisitant to the gig, usually female, as most of my friends are female. I bring them (if they are available) when the logistics are difficult and I need some help with the equipment (if it's upstairs or there's a lot to set up). They won't get in your way and are all very polite, well presented and courteous.
At this time I can't think of anything else to mention here. Many points are already covered in my Booking and prices page, but if you think of anything else let me know or ask and I'll inlcude the answers here.
