Information about where I can load in and park and a contact for the venue would be very helpful.
Yes, I bring a full PA, lights and also have a portable busking amp for remote events.
I can provide a high end DJ experience.
I once support Candi Staton at Craig Charle's show. That was a lot of fun!!
Events where there's good food!
My first gig was at my local pub when I was 13 years old. I've been working professional in the entertainment industry for over 10 years now.
Setup time: 30 min
Performance time: 1 - 2 hours
A bit of shade and a flat surface is all I need.
I'm always happy to take requests and can learn a couple of extra songs.
Clients are always happy with the service I provide, and tell me how all their guests have great things to say about my performance.
