- Preferably 2mx2m of space with between 2 to 4 13amp mains power supply.
- Parking space/loading area as close to performance space as possible.
Yes. Full self-contained with PA system and stage lighting.
It would be good to know if the venue has a sound limiter, and whether there is a stage.
Yes - happy to play music before, after and between my sets.
Download Festival was the best gig I’ve ever done. Amazing to perform at such an iconic festival with some incredible bands.
- I always arrive 1 - 2 hours before I'm due to play in order to allow sufficient time for me to set up, depending on the function.
- Standard performance times are 3 x 30 minute sets or 2 x 45 minute sets but of course can be tailored to suit the event.
- I can provide backing music/a DJ set in between my sets as well, on request.
I’m happy to perform outside but ideally this would be a shady and flat/level surface with a power supply close to the performance area.
I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 3 songs. You are welcome to pick some songs from my example repertoire or get in touch to discuss the wide range of songs I cover.
Previous customers would probably describe me as a high energy act that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing and singing.
