Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

General Questions

Do you have a Sound system?

Yes. I have a top quality Mackie PA system which comprises of 2 main speakers and a bass bin. I also have another small PA system that I use when space is limited i.e. in churches and performing in the afternoon during the meal.

Do you have lights?

Yes. I have a full light show which includes a star cloth, L.E.D lights, effect lights and lasers.

Is all your equipment P.A.T. tested?

Yes. Every year I am required to P.A.T. test my equipment to make sure that everything is in good working order. A certificate is given when a P.A.T. test is completed which I can produce if necessary at venues across the UK.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. I am a full member of the Musicians' Union who provide all their members with full public liability insurance of up to £10,000,000. I also take this certificate with me to all venues.

Do you charge traveling expenses?

Yes, but this is included in the fee that is quoted.

Do I have to provide you with accommodation?

No, but if I am performing throughout the day, the use of a room from 12pm to 6pm would be appreciated.


Live Performances and DJ

Who is the DJ?

I will be your DJ for the Gold & Platinum packages.

What type of music will you be playing in the disco?

 

Being a DJ can be the hardest job in the world. Trying to keep people of all ages you’ve never met before on the dance floor, all night, can be quite a task. The more information you can give me, the better. Tell me what type of music you like and you think your guests will dance to. If you're not sure, I will play a mixture of classics ranging from Soul & Motown to modern chart and Indie songs. A mixture is normally the key!

Can we give you a list of songs or artists that we would like you to play?

Absolutely! Approximately 1 month before your big day, I will send you a questionnaire. This will give you every opportunity to tell me exactly what you would like to hear during the disco, listing your favourite artists, songs and any special requests you might like during the evening. The questionnaire will also give me lots of information about the venue, your plans throughout the day and a general order of how the day will flow.

What songs can you sing for the first dance?

Can you learn our first dance?

Unfortunately, because I perform at many weddings throughout the year, it is almost impossible to learn every couple's first dance song. So if there isn't a song in my list that is suitable, I will gladly play it on CD.

What songs will you perform on the piano in the afternoon?

A whole list of classics ranging from Frank Sinatra to The Killers. My chilled out piano vocal set is totally live and musically arranged so that the songs I sing work well as 'unplugged' versions. Think 'Piano Bar!'

What songs will you be singing in the evening?

I will be singing a mixture of songs with full professional backing tracks. I always try to accommodate most people's tastes, singing songs from Swing to Modern charts.

Can we make up and arrange your singing sets?

Don't take this the wrong way, but…No! ☺ This is what you are paying me for. The songs I sing work very well at weddings and have a certain flow to them. If you start acting like my manager, things could go seriously wrong! ☺ If there are songs you don't like, then please tell me and I will omit these from my list.


Bookings

I would like to book you, what do I do?

Just fill in and submit the enquiry form on my contact page and I will contact you within 48 hours to take the necessary details. Alternatively you can contact me directly on 07932 621858 and I will be happy to take the booking subject to availability.

How much deposit do I need to pay?

A 25% deposit is required to secure the date, a 2nd deposit is required 6 months prior to the event, and the final balance can be paid on the night.

What happens if you couldn't perform due to sickness or an accident?

Fingers crossed this won't happen. I work very closely with top entertainment agencies throughout the UK, so in the unlikely event that I couldn't make the wedding, I would personally seek and provide a suitable replacement singer using one of these agencies.
