Frequently Asked Questions

A few common questions about live music for weddings, parties and corporate events.

Booking & Availability

How far in advance should we book?


Peak dates (especially summer weekends) tend to book well in advance, so it’s always best to enquire as early as possible. That said, I’m happy to check availability for shorter-notice events too.

How do we secure a booking?


Once availability is confirmed and the details are agreed, your date is secured with a booking confirmation. I’ll guide you through the simple next steps.

Are we tied in if we enquire?


No. Enquiring is just a way to check availability and explore options. There’s no obligation to proceed.

Setup & Logistics

How much space do you need?

 

Very little. I’m fully self-contained and can adapt to most venues and spaces.

 

What do you need from the venue?

 

Just a suitable performance area and access to power for evening events. I take care of the rest.

 

How long does setup take?

 

Setup and soundcheck are handled efficiently and discreetly around your schedule and the venue’s timings.

Music & Setlists

Can we choose specific songs?


Yes — you’re welcome to request key songs for important moments, and I’ll tailor the overall style and energy to suit your tastes and your guests.

 

Do you take requests on the day?

 

Where possible, yes. I’m always happy to read the room and take suitable requests if they fit the flow of the event.

 

What style of music do you play?

 

My sets are tailored to the event and can range from relaxed acoustic favourites to high-energy singalong and party tracks.

Practical Details

Do you travel?


Yes — I regularly perform across Leicestershire, the Midlands and further afield.

 

Are you insured and PAT tested?


Yes — full public liability insurance and PAT testing can be provided on request.

 

What happens if something unexpected occurs?


I always plan ahead and work closely with venues and suppliers to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.
