Venue requirements I would need are:
- Size of performance space
- Parking information
- Area of load gear
- Any documents needed (public liability/PAT Test_
Yes, sound equipment can be provided.
Yes, I would be happy to do this is if needed.
Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically. If you a PA system for me to use that is also an option.
The best gig I have ever done would be playing as SOB's in NYC at Nissi's headlining show; it was intimate & electric! The best venue has to be Westminster Abbey as the acoustics are heavenly.
I love playing at all types of events, but I particularly enjoy playing at parties where I can dance along with the guests.
I have been playing the saxophone for nearly 20 years now. I learnt at school and my first time playing in public was with my friend at my friend's church. From there, I continued to play at different churches, and I was eventually asked to play at different events, so I have built on my craft and passion for bringing joy through my music from there.
The artist I have been influenced the most by would have to be Kirk Whalum. I love what he has done as a jazz & gospel musician to build up his career in the commercial space.
Asking who my favourite artist is is a tough question. As much as I appreciate modern artists, my favourite artists are composers such as the hymn writers and composers from the classical period, such as Mozart.
Amazing Grace is the greatest song of all time to me as it's universal and for all generations,
I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let me know.
Setup time varies depending on what the client needs, but typically I would arrive 1 hour before to set up.
Performance times as vary due to catering to the clients need. Even if I am booked for 2 hours for example, that can be split up over 3 hours.
I am happy to play outside, so longs as I am near a power point.
Yes, clients do have a say in what I play, as that is is considered as part of the fee.
Previous clients have described my performances as "very engaging and professional", "absolutely fabulous" and "her performance completed the vibe we were aiming to achieve".
Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, I provide this for an additional £100.
We usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance!
Yes that's fine, and song suggestions are also an option.
