Customer questions

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed in churches, museums and concert halls.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I understand that unforeseen circumstances happen and timings might change after booking. I try my best to keep my timings on the day of the event as flexible as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event, please just let me know as soon as you can and I will do my best to make it work!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

How much time do you need to set up?

If you would like me to bring my own harpsichord, I would need 1 to 1.5 hours before the event to set up and tune the instrument.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes! Please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss a repertoire list that would work best for your event!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I charge an additional fee if you would like to hire my harpsichord as well - this includes any transportation, tuning and maintenance costs.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, I am happy to learn new pieces - please feel free to get in touch and we can discuss this. There might be an additional fee depending on the piece and the notice given, rehearsal times will be taken into account as well.
