FAQs

• What kind of events do you usually serve?

  I have performed mainly at weddings and live gigs but also local beer festivals, small fetes, birthdays etc.

• How long do you play for?

  Set lengths will depend on what the client wishes. I can sing one song at an event or up to 2 hours of cello and/or piano/vocals.

• Do you have your own PA and lighting?

  I have my own simple PA but not lighting as it usually doesn't suit the mood and set up.

• How much space do you require?

  Not much! Depending on whether you wish for me to play both piano and cello, the space will vary. Either way, both instruments can be neatly tucked away or spread out for a bigger set up.

• My favourite tune is not on your list. Will you be able to play it?

  I am happy to learn a song per event that is not on my repertoire list, any other special songs you require after this are an extra £30

• How many breaks do you take? How long are they?

  I tend to do 2 30 minute sets with a 10 minute break inbetween. This is the case for both cello and piano performance.

  No, I don't attend wedding rehearsals but I am happy to discuss as much as you need to before the event and will be in contact 3-4 days before the big day.
