Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We will bring all necessary instruments and equipment. All we need is a couple of normal 3 pin plug sockets and chairs without arms.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set up half an hour to an hour before the performance. I suggest two one hour sets or three 45 min sets but only as a guide. My aim is to fit in with clients arrangements. I am used to being flexible about timings on the night no party ever runs exactly to plan!
