Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will you play song requests from our guests?
A. Yes, but please understand that some songs will not be played if the presenter feels its incorrect for the type of environment and the type of event - for example we wouldn't play "Rage Against The Machine" song at your Grandfathers 80'th birthday. The DJ is the one who will know what songs will work & what time it would be most appropriate to play them. The DJ is governed by his dance floor. If the DJ feels other people won't like or wouldn’t perhaps dance to the song you have chosen it will either be played at a more appropriate time or not at all. We have to use our judgement to be able play to a crowd as whole & not just individual guests.
Q.Do you send out contracts.?
A.Yes we will always send out a contract and a booking conformation also a set of our terms and conditions in duplicate ,one for you and one to be returned to us with a £25.00 deposit.
Q. How should I go about compiling a repertoire list?
A. As a rule it is better to request a core of, say, 15-20 songs, and let the DJ use his expertise to compile the rest of the music list, basing his programme on the styles of the music that you have specifically requested.
Q. Are You Insured?
A. Yes, we have public liability insurance to the value of £2 million for your peace of mind.
Q. Are You Safe?
A. All our equipment has PAT (portable appliance tested) and is regularly serviced.
Q. What Equipment Will You Use?
A. This depends on the function. We always use equipment appropriate to the size of your function. There's no point in bringing a sound system to fill a stadium for an intimate dinner/dance and on the other hand it would be totally inappropriate to turn up for a marquee event with a small sound system and a couple of lights.a full list of equipment is on our web site.
Q. When do we pay?
A. Payment is required in the form of Cash to be handed to the DJ at the Start of the show. Advance payments can be accepted in form of a cheque, Payment must be received no later than 7 days before the day of the event. . Receipts & invoices can be supplied on request.
Q. I'd like you to go on a bit longer than we booked you for... what do we have to do?
A. So long as the venue operators don't mind and the DJ will allow it, then this is not a problem. Please take into account bars & venues have liquor & entertainment licences with strict guidelines to work to. If there is no problem then just let the us know before the end (or near the end) of the event. Overtime will be charged at a fixed agreed rate per 1/2 hour. This does not include additional cost of room hire for the venue operators. Please understand if the venue is found to be in breach of licensing laws then we are not held responsible for their actions.
Q. How long does it take to set-up and when do you need access to the building?
A. The set up takes about 60 minutes , this depends on the type of the event, the access to the building and of course other factors such as if there is more than one act on at the event. So we ask for access at least 1 hour before the start of the event or before your guests arrive and 1 hour after. Extra time is sometimes needed for equipment & safety checks. Any exta set-up time you can offer is always helpful
Q. How Do You Dress?
A. Appropriately for the occasion.
Q. Do You Have Back Up Equipment?
A. We have full back up equipment should anything go wrong, although this is very rarely needed.
Q. How much do we normally charge?
A. This depends on several factors. The date & time, the venue location, the amount of equipment we need to use, how many guests are coming and transport costs.
