You'll Never Be Sorry If You Invest In Quality.
Booking FAQ's
1. We'd Like To Book You, But Can We See You Work First?
It's difficult to come and see me work as the majority of the functions that I work at are weddings and corporate functions,
and it can cause problems if uninvited guests just turn up. It also may put you off what I do because I tailor the music
to the client's requirements, and you may not like what you hear if I'm playing some weird and wonderful music that a client
has requested.
I don't have a set play-list as such, I prefer to make it up as I go along. This may sound a bit strange,
but it does a couple of things - it keeps every event interesting for me and means that I can react to guests' requests a
lot quicker than a DJ that has his same old set that he regurgitates at every function.

2. Are You Available & How Soon Should We Book?
I operate a very strict first come first served policy, this means that once I have accepted a booking for a specific date,
the date in question is struck from my diary and nothing else will be taken on this day. If an enquiry is received on a date
that I am already booked but not confirmed, then I will contact the original client to ascertain if they still require the
date as no date is fully confirmed until I receive your completed booking form and deposit.
Once a booking has been accepted, a legally binding contract is drawn up confirming, in writing, our verbal
agreement. It sounds awfully complicated, but simply, it is an agreement for a DJ and disco to turn up on the day and at the
times specified and provide disco entertainment, and in return the booker agrees to provide a venue, safe electrical supply
and function for the disco to perform at and pay an agreed fee for this service. It acts as security for you, and security
for me.

3. I've Booked 'Live' Entertainment As Well - Can You Work With Them?
As a professional DJ I have no problem working with any type of act that is booked to appear at the same
event as me, as more often than not we end up sharing each others' equipment to save on space - for example, the band may
use my lighting, and I will plug into their speakers or vice versa. Any professional DJ will have no problem working with
other entertainment / entertainers, but it is definitely a good idea to let each of the various entertainers know about the
other(s) and possibly even offer their contact details to each other to work out possible equipment sharing or so on.

4. Will It Be Loud?
Generally, any disco will be loud - however, if at any point during the event, you feel that it is too loud or
guests have complained, I won't be offended if you ask me to turn it down, nor will I turn it back up again five minutes after
you ask either!

5. What Will It Cost?
Now that's the difficult question. The fee does depend on a number of individual circumstances that are connected with your
booking, so please contact me.

6. What Could Go Wrong?
It's common for people to treat a DJ and Disco as a commodity and try to buy it as cheap as possible. Sadly I hear many horror
stories when people choose the cheapest disco available. For example: not turning up, setting up the equipment and leaving
his young 13/14 year old children to DJ, getting 'legless' whilst working, treating it as a night out for him and his mates,
playing the type of music he chooses and not your requests - just imagine any of the above at your special event! All because
the booker thought they would be smart and book the cheapest possible.
