Booking and Prices
I serve all of the South East from Bournemouth to Hastings, Bognor to Surrey. Outside these locations accommodation may be included in the quote.
I will play whatever you ask for if I have it. Please note I can no longer play CD'S, as I am now fully hard drive orientated. Please give plenty of notice for special hard-to-get songs.
I send you out a confirmation upon TELEPHONE booking (usually via email or post mail if you require.)
This avoids the need for too-ing and fro-ing of contracts in the post so everybody knows that its booked and done after your deciding phone call. See "payment" below.
If through an act of God I can't make it to your event I will do everything within my power to call up a replacement on your behalf. Be assured though that I have NEVER not turned up to a gig yet.
I will usually need about an hour to set up (add half an hour for uplighter package) and the same to take down the show and will ideally require about 10' x 10' space with two 13 amp power sockets. Please be aware that if its an outside gig I MUST be under cover 10' high - NO exceptions! Please remember the above particularly in the case of those summer marquee gigs, as 90% of the time they install the dance floor without leaving any space behind it for the DJ! (Doh!) Lastly, Please try and make parking as close and convenient as possible for loading and unloading.

Please note: With an early set up, payment must before set up to show your commitment to the security of my equipment.
Please note: I'm not the cheapest (or I should add, the most pricey either!). I plough a lot of money into my show to make sure that when you hire me for your party you and your friends get a stylish impressive experience that will give you kudos and a cool reputation for years to come! Spending between 5 and 30K on your wedding for example, only to have some cowboy/rude idiot turn up with some dated, cheap and crappy equipment that sounds "head slicingly tinny" and or distorted is what you may well get if you are too focused on the price. Also there is a hardcore of so-called dj's who will quote bottom dollar and then drop you at the last minute if/when they secure a better offer. These are not scare tactics. my site is all about helping you through the confusion of first time booking (most people) with my profession as much as I can. Please use search box on my home page and read my blog: "Wedding advice from a deejays point of view" for more information on this even if you're just having a birthday party etc. You do tend to get what you pay for in life. The best price is my price if you factor in what you're getting for your money. There are people down the road from me who charge less, but I've seen their shows and I can see why. Please be warned. Book me and buy yourself peace-of-mind now. The reviews on site are all posted by my real and treasured customers.
Remember: quality is NOT expensive - It's priceless!
