Q&A

Below is a list of commonly asked questions I get from potential clients. If you have a question that isn't answered here, contact me here to ask it.

Do You Just Do Weddings? 
No. Definitely not. I regularly play Birthday parties, Engagement parties, Corporate Functions, Christening and Conformation Parties. 
  
If this list doesn't describe your event, I bet I can do play that too. Contact me here to enquire. 
  
Can You Play During Our Ceremony? 
Yes. Of course. I'd love to. Please note, if the ceremony and reception are in different locations, I may need time to break down and set up my equipment in between. We can discuss the finer details by enquiring here about your wedding though. 
  
How Do I Book You? 
Simply go to my Contact page and fill in the form. The more information you give the better but certainly include the date and location of your event. 
  
How Much Do You Cost? 
This depends on a number of factors. Location, length of performance etc. Contact me here and we'll discuss your individual requirements and I can give you a personalised quote for your event. 
  
Do You Require a Deposit? 
Yes. Your booking will be secured by a £50 deposit. Please note, this is non refundable in the event of a cancellation.

Can We Come and See You Play?
Yes. Great Idea. You can get a good idea of what I can do from the Showreel on my Home page but there's nothing like experiencing a gig in the flesh. Have a look at my Gigs page to see a list of my public shows. Let me know you're coming and we can discuss your event then.
  
How Long Does it Take You to Set Up? 
Normally about 45 minutes. I like to leave an hour to be safe though. 
  
Do You Take Requests? 
Yes. I LOVE playing tunes that people have specifically requested. This can be a song for the ceremony, your first dance or just a tune that is particularly important to you. One request per event is free but there'll be a small additional charge for any extra songs. Please ensure you give plenty of notice so I can learn them in plenty of time. 
  
I do also take requests on the night. This always adds a certain spontaneous excitement to proceedings and is always lots of fun, if occasionally less polished than my regular tunes. Unlike advanced requests, I obviously don't charge for this. 
  
Can You Play Recorded Music in Between Sets? 
Yes. I have a wide range of music that I can play between sets. If you have a specific thing in mind, please let me know in plenty of time so I can source what is required. 
  
What Are Your Requirements? 
Very little. I need a small area of space, two plug sockets and a glass of water. Wifi access is also often helpful. 
  
Do You Have Public Liability Insurance? 

Yes. Up to £10,000,000 through Musician's Union. 
  
Is Your Equipment PAT Tested? 
Yes. I can provide a copy of my certificate if required.
