Roaming around with an LED (glow in the dark) Djembe drum, LED Bongos, LED Brazilian drum (Repinique), LED Snare drum (marching band)
or playing a Middle Eastern LED Darbuka drum...
I can work any area, no matter how small. I can also bring the music anywhere even when no electricity can be provided (I supply a Soundboks 4 speaker which is currently the most powerful battery driven speaker in the business)... For the full PA system+lights I will need at least access to one power socket.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment.
Yes to both!
For an extra charge, I will supply an all white Evox Jmix8 PA system for up to 400 people
I will also bring a pair of Chauvet wash efx Hex lights and a Shard LB003 LED Wall Washer Uplight
Yes! My own playlists are tried and tested and maybe all you need. I bring these to every event free of charge.
However, for a bespoke playlist/music selection (inclusive of prior consultation) I charge an additional £50
Jonathan Ross Show with Tom Jones, Bestival and Glastonbury performances...
I love performing at weddings! Creating potentially lifelong memories is such a great feeling!
I've been performing as a musician and working professionally in the music business for more than 20 years...
Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, The Police
Yes, absolutely!
Set up takes 5 minutes for Roaming Djembe only performances and up to an hour for a show requiring a full PA system, lights and my bigger percussion set up...
Set length can vary and I'm always happy to accommodate your schedule. So for example, if you book me for 2 hours you could have 3 x 30 min or 2 x 45min sets with little breaks in between.
Yes, I also bring a powerful battery driven amp (Soundboks 4) for locations that don't have access to power...
However, I will always require the client to organize adequate cover against rain...
Yes, clients have full input into what playlists and songs I may provide for the event! Also I will take requests on the night (if I'm booked with a DJ service of course)
High energy, fun, visually stunning, interactive performance!
