FAQ

Q: How long does setup take? A: Set up and soundcheck typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. I generally aim to arrive at least 60 minutes prior to the performance start time to ensure I am set up and ready to go, but if you require me to arrive early to reduce disruption, or to play background music using my PA at a specific time, then this can be arranged.
Q: What are your space and power requirements? A: What equipment do you supply, and what do we need to provide? I am fully self-contained! I supply all necessary, high-end equipment, including: Professional-grade PA System (speakers) Acoustic guitar and microphone All necessary cables and stands. Basic lighting equipment is available upon request at no additional charge. The only things the venue needs to provide, are a performance space with access to at least one, but ideally two, safe, mains plug sockets, along with nearby access for loading, unloading, and parking. How much space do you need to set up? I do provide various PA options for every booking to make sure that I am able to perform using as much, or as little space is available. Ideally however, I require a performance area of approximately 2 meters wide by 2 meters deep. This allows adequate space for the guitar, mic stand, and speaker placement. A spot near a wall socket is always helpful!
Q: Do you take requests? A: Can we choose the specific songs you play, or do you decide? You are welcome to highlight any songs from my repertoire that you must hear and, equally important, any songs you would prefer not to hear. Based on your preferences, I will craft a setlist on the day that flows well, suits the mood, and engages your specific audience. Do you take live song requests from guests on the day? While I try to keep to the pre-planned setlist to ensure the best possible atmosphere and flow, I may accept requests if they are already in my repertoire and time allows. I recommend providing your main requests in advance to guarantee they are included.
