I require a 25% booking fee to confirm a booking, the remaining balance is then due no later than 14 days prior to your event date. Payment methods and terms can be found at the bottom of your booking confirmation which will be created and emailed to you should you decide to proceed.
I use amplified sound equipment for every performance and require safe access to a standard 13 amp plug socket.
It is down to you (the client) to ensure that your chosen venue has the correct music licence if required.
No, unfortunately this is something I don't provide.
Unless you have already requested and booked an early disco setup, your DJ will arrive & setup approximately 90 minutes before the disco is due to start. Can I kindly request that safe, nearby access is provided for him to unload. The disco setup requires a minimum of two dedicated 13 amp plug sockets, located no further than 5 metres away. Please also ensure that there is a clear walkway into the room to avoid any unnecessary disruption.
I certainly do. I have public liability insurance to the value of £10 million and all of my electrical equipment is PAT tested on a yearly basis. Copies of both certificates can be provided ahead of any event should your venue require them.

Through his successful career, David has managed to develop his own unique & funky sound. Some of his musical influences include: Eric Darius, Dave Koz, Richard Elliot and Gerald Albright, and to which all have certainly helped him develop into a fantastic player and performer!
David has over 11 years experience performing as a wedding & events saxophonist. Coming from a deeply musical family, his passion for music began at a young age. He started playing drums at just five years old before learning the double bass, and it wasn’t long before his natural musical talent was recognised by his primary school music teacher.
David loves performing at all kinds of events, but weddings are his absolute favourite! The guests are always in great spirits, and it’s never hard to get everyone dancing!
Up to a 2 hour afternoon wedding drinks reception set, or a 1 hour non-stop evening Party/Club performance.
Yes, so long as it’s warm enough. Like most instruments, the saxophone really doesn’t like being exposed to cold temperatures. I also require safe access to power (please check with your venue if you’re unsure). I will not risk exposing my equipment to rain or high winds so please make sure you have a “Plan B” in place in the unfortunate event of bad weather.
You’re welcome to highlight a handful of tracks from my playlist that you’d especially like me to include in my set, however I don’t ask clients to write my entire set list in advance as a lot of my skill and experience is knowing which tracks to play depending on my audience.
Previous customers would describe me as an extremely talented, high energy and unique performer that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.
Depending on parking/venue access, I can be set up and ready to play within approx. 30 minutes of arrival.
