Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much do you charge?
Every event is different so I'll need to know the venue (location, distance and accesibility), start and finish times and details of any special requirements you might have before I can give you a precise quote. CLICK HERE to complete the enquiry form.

2. I know someone who can do it for £30, why do you charge more?
When you book a professional DJ, you are paying for the peace of mind of knowing that your DJ has the knowledge, expertise, equipment and all round skill to ensure your event is a success. There are some excellent DJs who charge very little, but beware of cowboys! The price I charge includes:

• Over 20 years radio, live DJ and compere experience
• High quality sound & lighting equipment
• Comprehensive and legally owned music collection
• Public liability insurance
• Portable appliance testing fees
• Transportation expenses and travel time
• My time: 3 hours setting up, packing away and getting there and back
• Preparation time before the event

3. Do you confirm in writing?
Yes, you will receive a contract showing all the details of your function. This will include terms and conditions of booking. If everything is correct, please sign and return the contract to me in the prepaid envelope, along with a booking reservation fee of £35. When I have received your signed contract and reservation fee, your booking is finalised. You will receive confirmation via email together with a copy of the contract (signed by me) and a receipt for your payment.

4. When and how do I pay?
The balance is payable in advance of the event, or by cash on the night if you prefer. A booking reservation fee is always required to secure my services. You may pay by cash, cheque or Paypal. If you pay by Paypal - please note there is an additional charge of 3.4% of the balance + 0.20 GBP.

5. What sort of music do you play?
I've got a huge range of music covering most of the main genres. I tend to avoid events that request just one type of music i.e. R&B, rock.

6. Will you play requests?
Yes, I'll happily take requests from you and your guests. I'll also give you opportunity to request your favourite songs when you book. Click here for more information.

7. How long do you need to set up?
For most events, I'll need a minimum of one hour to set up. This means that from getting equipment to the venue, it will be at least sixty minutes before everything is ready to go. Please bear this in mind when arranging the venue and planning your event. If the venue has poor access (stairs, long corridors etc.) I will need extra setup time.

8. How much space do you need?
The disco is very flexible and can be customised to fit different function rooms. The absolute minimum area required, is approximately 3 x 2 metres.

10. Is your equipment safe?
Yes, all my equipment is tested in accordance with the Health & Safety Executive, Electricity at Work Act 1989 (PAT - Portable Appliance Test). A copy of my test certificate is available on request.

11. Are you insured?
Yes, I hold public liability insurance and can provide you with a copy of my certificate on request.

12. What will you wear?
I usually wear smart casual, unless there is a specific dress code. If you wish me to wear more formal attire (i.e. suit, black tie) please specify when booking. When setting up and packing away, I'll be dressed casually due to the amount of manual labour required. Click here for more information.

13. What kind of lighting do you use?
Professional lighting including intelligent moonflowers, spot lights and beam effects. The lighting is "aimed" at the dancefloor, I try not to dazzle your guests. I use an LED starcloth over the front of the disco, not old style light boxes.

14. I have a friend who is a DJ. Can he have a go?
Sorry but no. My Public Liability Insurance will not cover me if I allow other people to use my equipment.
