FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...

What music do you play?

We play a huge range of great music. This can encompass literally anything, old or new. It could include rock, pop, party, funky house, indie, R&B, '50s, and '60s rock & roll, reggae, hip-hop, chart, funk, alternative, disco or dance... We can also quite happily work within a set theme e.g. school disco, 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s. Whatever you want.

Do you work with playlists?

Yes. We take a full musical brief on what you are trying to achieve with your event.

We discuss musical styles and combine your requests with our experience to put together a coherent DJ ‘set’. We recommend a list of approximately 10-50 songs for most events.

How much do you charge?

The price depends on a variety of factors but it is based on our arrival time at the venue, the amount of equipment required and the event start and finish times. We'll provide you with a personalised quotation, based on your individual requirements.

My main consideration in finding a DJ is the price. I've found a DJ who has offered me a lower price. Why are you more expensive?

We provide a professsional DJ and disco service. It takes time to prepare your requests - as mentioned below, this is normally around three hours work, which may be the same amount of time we DJ for on the night! We also take the time to promptly answer your calls and reply to e-mails. If necessary, we will also make the effort to visit the venue beforehand.

Do you provide sound and lighting equipment as well as a DJ?

We can provide sound and lighting equipment for any size of event. Please contact us for a personalised quotation.

Do you provide music for civil ceremonies?

Yes we do. As with any event or party we would talk to you to discuss your needs and help make the event all you have hoped for.

How long does it take to prepare for an event?

It usually takes about three hours to work through a playlist before an event. We also make sure that our sound and lighting equipment is functioning correctly.

How long does it take to set up the disco?

Between 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of show you have selected. If you want us to colour wash the room then the time will go up a little so as to give time to hide and make safe any cabling. We like to arrive up to an hour and a half before the function to make sure that everything is just right for you and your guests.
  
Are you available at short notice?

We always endeavour to supply you with a DJ, even if you have been let down on the day of your event.

Do you as a DJ talk a lot?

We like to let the music do the talking. All our DJs are confident on the microphone and will help you by making appropriate announcements, but if you would like us to join in more then we would be happy to do that as well.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance?

Yes. We have Public Liability Insurance (PLI). Covering up to £2,000,000

Is your sound and lighting equipment PAT tested?

Yes. All equipment is visually inspected before use and has been PAT tested.

Are you happy working alongside bands and singers?

Yes. We have worked with a huge range of bands and artistes.

We cover Bristol and a 40 mile surrounding area inc South Wales We also work further afield by arrangement.
