FAQ
How much do you charge?
Our charges are based on the date, times, duration and location of your function. We don’t operate a fixed fee or an hourly rate, as almost every function is different. All our rates are reasonable and you will be pleasantly surprised how affordable our quote is.
What kind of music do you play?
Our DJs knowledge and collection of music span the decades, including all the finest musical moments from the 50s, the Rock & Roll years, the swinging 60s, sensational 70s, the 80s, 90s, 00s and the sounds of today. Our DJs experience and knowledge means that whether you’re looking for an experienced personality DJ for a family function, a seasoned professional for a corporate bash, or a cooler jock to create the right vibe at your 18th/21st or uni/college ball, look no further.
Will you play requests?
Yes, of course! It is YOUR function and you should be able to hear the music YOU want to listen to (not just what a DJ might think you SHOULD listen to!!) You may compile a list of your requests and dedications in advance and you can also invite your family & friends to contribute to your list. Just e-mail the list to our e-mail address and we can make sure everything is prepared beforehand to ensure the night goes without any hitches. Once we've recieved your list it will be given to your DJ in advance of the function, to help him prepare for your party. Please ensure your completed requests are sent to us ( by email or by post if you have prepared a list manually) two to three weeks before the date of your function. We don't limit the amount of requests you can submit, however as a guide, around twenty tracks per hour are normally played (the average length of a tune being around three minutes), so you may want to allow some time for your guests' requests made on the night to be played. Of course you don't have to choose the playlist for the whole evening, but any requests made beforehand can help the DJ to plan the evening for your complete enjoyment and of course we will also be very happy to take requests on the night from you and your guests.
What equipment will the DJ bring?
The price quoted includes a DJ with professional sound equipment and effects lighting, suitable for the number of guests you have indicated.

Does it make any difference to the cost if my party is upstairs?
