What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

Events requiring music come in all shapes and sizes, date and venue and then information about the genre, the era or indeed the age groups of the clients/guests can be very beneficial in providing firstly, an accurate quote and secondly, a fantastic service. Understanding your own vision of the event is equally important, for example, you may want a few hours of background music followed by a couple of hours of classic disco hits, chart hits, the 80s or even hip hop. All of this helps the performers put together a better more comprehensive quote.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Do not be afraid of asking questions, once contact is made phone and speak to the individual performer. This will help you both understand the event requirements. You can begin to build a picture of what your event might look like with the performer at the wheel. Any good performer will be open and honest with you as you try and decide which direction to take your event. It will save time in selecting and eliminating performers who do not quite fit your vision as well as allowing performers to eliminate themselves if they feel the job is not right for them.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

My love and passion for music go back numerous years, my first concert as a youngster was in Manchester watching Dire Straits. Since that first concert, I have been fortunate enough to visit some of the best concert venues in the world, seeing some of the biggest bands around and partying at some of Europe's top night spots. Music is a great leveller, pulling people together from many different cultures, backgrounds and nationalities. I have been very fortunate lately to take up my love of music both as a DJ and as a Lead Singer in our band on a full-time basis. My aim is to bring joy, good fun and lasting memories to those who choose our services.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Funny how life sometimes goes full circle, I have recently had a booking that will see me, DJ, at a birthday party being held at the Football Club I use to manage for three years. At the time of writing this event has still not happened, however, I am looking forward to going back to my old stomping ground but in a different capacity. I have spoken to the client and gained valuable insight into the event through a really good two-way conversation via that phone call I talk about in my advice to customers looking to book. Add to Event played a major part in securing that booking, bringing the client and business together. An excellent resource for anyone in the entertainment business.
