Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I am fully self contained with my own Bose PA and lights. I would just kindly ask for one plug socket next to the performance area, a minimum space of 2m x 2m and a parking space near to the entrance so I can load in my gear easily if possible. My PA is 2 metres in height so I would need to make sure it fits comfortably underneath the roof/gazebo (if outside)

For care homes, I have a small portable Bose speaker and can be wireless for this.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, i'm completely self contained. I bring my own Bose PA system to all of my gigs as well as a bigger dynamic lighting rig for selective evening performances.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know the address, any additional directions and also if there is parking.


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

Absolutely!
I'm happy to choose the music myself or let the client choose the music. Please just ask ☺️

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

The Symphony Hall - it was an incredible experience! I even had my own dressing room!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I'm a big ABBA fan!


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

It takes me around 30 minutes to set up and soundcheck. I will always arrive at least 45 minutes before the performance . For care homes I arrive around 15 minutes before.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and 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?

I can learn specific songs before the event (I offer to learn 1 song free of charge) The clients are welcome to to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them
