DO YOU HAVE ANY BACK UP EQUIPMENT SHOULD YOUR EQUIPMENT FAIL?
Yes... and this is a very important point which is overlooked by most entertainers. (all electrical equipment has the potential to fail and I personally invest in the highest quality professional equipment for its reliablity and quality purposes). I am meticulous about backups as I fully admit to having equipment failures in my early days... I carry a complete back-up audio mixer, dual player laptop controller, two laptop computers, two wired microphones and I also have two separate audio amplifiers which means if one packs up I have a second. You don't get a second chance at a party... THE SHOW MUST GO ON... NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SET UP YOUR EQUIPMENT?
Normally around 30 minutes to 1 hour for the "Bronze, Silver and upto 2 hours for the Gold and Platinum Discos... all will depend on venue access.
CAN YOU SET UP YOUR EQUIPMENT AT LUNCH TIME TO AVOID DISRUPTION?
Yes I can, lunch time equipment set ups can be arranged on my booking form.
DO I NEED A MUSIC REQUEST LIST?
You do not need a music request list but I would recommend that you put together a list of favourites. WEDDING TIP: On your wedding invitation RSVPs, leave a space for your guests to write down one song that "they would be prepared to dance to". Collate the results of songs and guest names and hand me the list on the night.
CAN WE SEND A MUSIC REQUEST LIST DIRECTLY TO YOU?
Yes, you can email a list to me at dj@pro-disco.com
CAN WE CALL YOU DIRECTLY TO DISCUSS OUR EVENT DETAILS?
Yes I am always happy to talk through your event details with you and help with a suitable disco choice, please call me on 023 8032 0931 Monday to Friday between 11.00am & 6.00pm.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO BOOK?
As early as possible, prime weekends go very fast... I have bookings upto 2 years in advance and you only need to pay a minimum deposit of about £75 to secure your date.
CAN I WATCH YOU PERFORM AT THE NIGHT CLUB?
Yes you can, again by prior arrangement so that I can arrange for you to be on my guest list. Please remember my style of presenting and the music that I play in the club may not reflect the style suitable for a wedding or a birthday etc.
IF I HIRE A VENUE WITH SOUND AND LIGHT CAN YOU JUST COME ALONG WITH YOUR MUSIC?
Yes I can, but we will need to discuss in advance what sort of sound facilities exist in the venue.
CAN I BRING SOME OF MY OWN MUSIC AND IF SO WHAT FORMAT DOES IT NEED TO BE IN?
You will need to put your music on to a standard CD or CD/R recorded as a closed session .WAV or .MP3. You can also bring your MP3 music on a USB flash drive OR just bring your music on an IPod or any MP3 player with a "3.5mm in-line stereo jack plug" I can plug these players directly into my audio mixer without any problem.
DO I NEED TO ORGANISE A FIRST DANCE RECORD?
If you wish to have a first dance then it is always a good traditional starting point for me to introduce myself and to officially start the function. Either bring your cherished music with you on the day or email me the song name in advance.
CAN I MEET UP WITH YOU TO DISCUSS THE EVENT?
By all means. I do professional consultations which are free and by prior arrangement at my home in Hampshire.
