Q: How long does setup take?

A: 30 minutes

Q: What are your space and power requirements?

A: I only need a small area to set up, I've often set up in the small corner of a room I need access to a single power socket

Q: Do you take requests?

A: Yes, I take requests! Quite often my gigs turn into request shows. I have about 500 songs to choose from. Obviously I can't play every request, but I do try to go with the flow of what customers want me to play.
