Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music We also have a live keyboard set!

I provide my own Yamaha keyboard with backing, as well as professional sound equipment for a high-quality performance. If playing an organ or piano at a venue, I will need to confirm its condition and tuning in advance. For DJ sets, I bring my own setup, including speakers and lighting if required. I typically need access to a power source and sufficient space for my equipment, but I can adapt to different venue requirements with prior arrangement.

Michael Jackson: His iconic pop and dance music have always been a crowd favourite, and we love incorporating hits like Billie Jean and Beat It into our sets.

"I’ve been involved in music for many years as both a performer and an entertainer. My DJ journey started when I began providing music for friends’ parties and local events alongside my work as an organist and keyboard player. Over time, I invested in professional DJ equipment, built a diverse library covering multiple genres and decades, and developed my skills in reading the crowd and keeping the dance floor full. Since then, I’ve DJed everything from weddings and milestone birthdays to corporate functions, and I tailor each set to suit the audience and atmosphere."

We love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are our favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing

My act is versatile and tailored to create the perfect atmosphere for any event. As an experienced organist, pianist, and DJ, I can provide live traditional or contemporary music, seamless transitions between styles, and a full wedding package, including backing tracks on my Yamaha keyboard. Whether you want elegant ceremony music, a lively wedding breakfast, or a DJ set for the evening, I can bring passion and professionalism to make your event unforgettable.

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area

We can play any specific songs before the event . The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them. The keyboard package requires the set list in advance

Previous customers would describe us as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing

My performance is fully adaptable to suit your needs. I can play live organ or piano for a classic and elegant touch, use my Yamaha keyboard with backing for a fuller sound, or provide a DJ set for a lively atmosphere. Whether you need background music, a special piece for a ceremony, or a high-energy party set, I tailor my performance to create the perfect mood. I also take song requests in advance to ensure your event feels personal and memorable.
