A. I do over 50 events each year. Almost half 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 audience 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 please send it to me 4 weeks before the event.
 
Q. Can you call a few Ceilidh Dances?

A. No. Downloaded Music is generally inferior in quality. I am a licensed Digital DJ and transfer all my music from CDs at 320kbps. I own the CD for every song that I play.  
 
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.

A. No, I will play up until 1am for no extra cost.

A. A 4ft wide Table is required. But I visit each venue prior to performing to ensure that there are no problems on the night with access and power requirements etc.

Q. Can we come and see you perform?
A. Yes. Please email me for details of where I am performing next. I will need to obtain the permission of the couple first and check that the venue has a public bar. 

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).
