Some of the most frequently asked by prospective clients before they book a disco.
How early should I book?
As soon as you can! Most of the best DJ’s are booked up months, sometimes years in advance. The best advice is to book your disco as soon as you have confirmed the venue.
Do you provide a contract or written details of our booking?
Yes. All bookings are confirmed in writing once a contract is returned, so we both have confirmation in writing.
Do you take a deposit and charge a cancellation fee?
In most cases we ask for a non-refundable deposit of £100 to secure your date.
What time will you arrive?
Subject to the venue, it would normally take 30-40 minutes to set-up, we would normally arrive at least an hour before the start of the event.
Could we use your equipment during the day for background music and speeches?
Yes, for a small charge some or all of the equipment can be set up earlier so clients can play their own music during the day and have use of a radio mic. Please contact us to discuss this as an extra. Data projectors and screens are also available.
What will you need on arrival?
Vehicle access is needed as close as possible and parking for 1 vehicle on site. In the function room, 1 13amp socket, close to the performance area and a table (min 4 foot)
What type of Music do you play, and will you play our requests?
We play a mixture of disco/party classics from the past 5 decades and like most pro DJ’s we don’t play the likes of Agadoo, Birdie song etc. It’s your event, so we'll will play the music you want, we would suggest giving us guidelines to the type of music you would like to hear or not! and we will take requests from guests on the night. The job of a DJ is to read the audience and play what the majority want to hear, many DJ’s play long sets of one style of music EVEN if the dance floor is empty, we don't.
How loud do you play?
Always a worry with people and rightly so, the last thing you want is a disco so loud that your guests have to shout or worse, move out of the room. We're fully aware that these events are social functions and people are there to chat with old and new friends as well as dance. We make sure that music is just loud enough to get people dancing, but not stop them talking, playing quieter background music as people arrive and if required during the meal or buffet.
Feel free to request that the music be turned down or up!
How much do you use the microphone?
As much as is needed, we prefers to let the music do the talking. We will of course read out any requests and dedications and encourage people onto the dance floor. At a wedding we will announce the 1st dance and any others requested. Again it’s your event, so you can request more or less use of the mic.
What equipment do you use?
All of the sound & lighting equipment used is state-of-the-art and compact. We do not use any lighting effects such as light-boxes, rope lights etc (these can be arranged for theme nights, 70s/80s etc). All the sound equipment are professional brands (Mackie, Ramsa, Peavey, Behringer, Denon etc) not home hi-fi (Sony, JVC, Philips etc).
What will you wear?
You’re right to ask this as many DJ’s will perform looking scruffy in jeans. Our standard outfit is shirt and tie, however black-tie or other outfits can be requested.
What is your fee?
The fee is based on location, size of venue, time of function and any extra equipment needed. Please contact us for your quote.
Is your equipment PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) tested?
Yes. All of the equipment is regularly check for electrical safety. A copy of the certificate is available on request
Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, we have Public Liability Insurance cover. A copy of the certificate is available on request.
Do You use Smoke Machines, as this can affects asthma sufferers?
We have found that smoke machines are more trouble than they are worth and never use any of them unless specifically requested to do so. Most hotels forbid the use of them.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have a question that is not here.
