If you have any other questions please give me a call.
 
Q. Do you have any Songs we can listen to?
A. Yes, though I now have to email a weblink to you to avoid paying £240 per year for the PRS licence. See my Enquires page.
 
Q. Can we contact some of your previous clients?
A. Yes. I have telephone numbers and email addresses of loads of delighted customers who are more than happy to recommend me. 
  
Q. How many Weddings do you do per year?
A. I do almost 80 events each year. Over 70 of them are Weddings. The others are a mix of Birthday Parties and Corporate Events.  
 
Q. How soon before my event will you need my Play-List?
A. A Play-List is not essential as I always go around and ask the guests what music they would like to dance to. But it is always a good idea to know what sort of music you don't want playing. I will need to know your First and Second Dances at least two weeks prior to the event. But if you have a play-list of 10 - 20 songs please send it to me 3 weeks before the event.
 
Q. Can you call a few Ceilidh Dances?
A. Yes, I can call up to 30mins of the Ceilidh dances. 
  
Q. Do you download your music?
A. Yes, I can buy and play additional wav files on the night via a 3G connection as I have access to a legal DJ website that has over 3millions wav files available. I also own 2,500CDs (35,000 wav files) and purchase Produb licences each year to copy them.  
 
Q. What sort of Backing Tracks do you use?
A. I use Professionally-made Backing Tracks. Each one is designed to sound like the original artist.
 
Q. How long do you sing for?
A. I find that a one hour performance works best. But I can do 2 x 30mins or 1 x 45min if you prefer.  
 
Q. Our friends are professional singers. Can they sing at the event too?
A. Yes. Provided they supply the backing tracks 2 weeks in advance this can be arranged.
 
Q. Can you provide a Karaoke service at my event?
A. Yes, though I need advance notice so I can bring a monitor and my Karaoke CD collection.   
 
Q. Are there any extra charges if you play past midnight?
A. No, I will play until the early hours for no extra cost.
 
Q. Do you have any special requirements at our venue?
A. Yes, I will need at least 2 walled power sockets and a minimum of 10ft x 4ft of space to set-up in.  
 
Q. How much time do you require to set up?
A. I will need 45mins to set-up (based on all my gear being ready in an anteroom)
 
Q. Can you set-up during the day-time?
A. Yes, for a small fee. Please email for quote.
 
Q. Do you have a Portable Appliance Testing certificate?
A. Yes. All my equipment has been electrically tested by a qualified engineer.
 
Q. Do you have a Public Liability Insurance?
A. Yes. I have a £10m policy with Royal Sun Alliance as part of my membership with Equity.
 
Q. Do you have a ProDub Licence?
A. Yes, each year I buy a licence to make a copy of the tracks that I rip from my CD collection. 
 
Q. How far can you travel to perform at an event?
A. I don't charge any mileage fee within 30miles of Edinburgh. But I can travel any distance if travelling costs are covered. Please email me for an individual quote.
 
Q. When do you require payment?
A. A non-refundable and non-transferable Deposit is required to secure a booking. The balance is required either 10 days prior to the event as a cheque or BACS transfer or in cash before the event starts on the day. 

Q. Can we come and see you perform?
A. Yes, I regularly do showcases at some of the best Wedding Venues. Please check my Music page for details of the next event.
     
Q. Will our guests still be able to hear themselves talk while you DJ?
A. Yes. I am aware of the need to keep volume levels within comfortable limits, especially when everyone is in the same room. My volume levels were recently checked by Edinburgh University, they found that I DJ'd at an acceptable level of 86db in Pollock Halls (which is a very large venue). 
 
Q. Can we see a list of songs your normally play?
A. Yes, Click on the Top 100 button on my Music page.
