Commonly asked questions
Q) Do you play music suitable for our Functions ?.
A) Functions such as Weddings, Anniversaries etc normally have a wide age group attending and my music caters for this. My repertoire is always well received (see the comments page). Bookings such as Restaurants obviously require a variety of popular tasteful background music,
i.e Evergreens, Latin, Light Jazz Standards & melodic pop, whereas music at Dinner Dance functions requires background music for diners, followed by dance music. I am always conscious of noise levels & have been congratulated on keeping my music to an acceptable volume.
Q) is your fee reasonable & within our budget ?.
A) My fee varies according to the day of the week, distance to venue (I am based in Hertfordshire) & also time & length of performance. It is from approximately £85. e.g afternoon 2 hour session. A point to bear in mind when budgeting is the need to provide background music & more lively dance music for later in the evening if this is required, I do both.
Q) Can you augment to a Duo, Trio, or Quartet ?
A) My work is as a solo artiste but it may possible to add other musicians if required, for example Female Jazz singer, Guitarist, Saxophonist, Trumpet depending on availability. Of course the fee will reflect the number of musicians booked.
Q) Can I listen to what you do ?
A) Yes I have a demo CD which I can send you free of charge, which consists of a few shortened tracks from my full CD recorded in 2010. Of course this is a tiny selection of what I do but it will give you a good idea.
Q) Is the sound on the CD similar to what we will hear live ?
A) Yes, the CD was recorded for that purpose, I now use a new Bose L1 sound system on most of my engagements ..this is the ultimate in sound technology giving quality sound with an acceptable volume level.
Q) We may need a microphone to make an announcement or a speech, can you arrange this ?
A) Yes of course, it is no problem as I always carry a spare microphone for this purpose.
