Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking me for your event. If your question isn’t answered here, just get in touch.

Do you bring your own sound and lighting?

Yes. A full professional sound system is provided as standard, with stage lighting available on request. If a DJ is also booked for the evening, we’ll discuss in advance whether I can use their setup with my own microphone, depending on their technical specification.

How much space and power do you need?

I need a minimum performance area of 2m x 2m and at least two standard plug sockets nearby.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes. I hold full public liability insurance, and all of my equipment is PAT tested.

How long do you perform for?

My standard performance is two 45-minute sets. I’m flexible, though, and happy to accommodate most timing requests to suit your event.

What happens between your sets?

I provide background playlist music between my sets, so the atmosphere keeps going all night.

Can we request songs?

Absolutely. For weddings and corporate events I’ll work closely with you beforehand to build a tailored set list. For venue bookings, I’m happy to take requests on the night.

How far do you travel?

I perform right across the UK. For events beyond a 30-mile radius of Merseyside, a small additional travel fee may apply.

How do I book, and what are the payment terms?

Bookings are made through my website. To secure your date I take a 25% deposit, sent by invoice on confirmation, with the remaining balance due two weeks before your event.

What if you can’t perform on the day?

You’re in safe hands. Arrangements for illness or any unforeseen circumstances are covered within your booking contract, so you can book with complete peace of mind.

What’s your availability and how far ahead should I book?

Saturday evenings for 2026 are now fully booked. I do have a limited number of Fridays and Sundays still available, which you can see on my booking page. Midweek dates are considered on a case-by-case basis, so please send an enquiry through the website.

Still have a question?

Get in touch and I’ll be happy to help, or check your date and send an enquiry.
