Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, we have our own Public Liability Insurance (PLI) policy with a limit of indemnity of £10 million. Proof of such documents can be shown on request.
What about Portable Appliance Tested (PAT) and Health & Safety?
All of our equipment is tested annually by a PAT inspector and visually checked regularly by ourselves. We use RCD power-breakers and surge protectors to ensure each piece of electrical equipment is protected. Each lighting effect fixed to our overhead truss system is secured using a heavy-duty ‘G’ clamp and is also secured using a strong steel wire. Please feel free to contact us should you have any queries regarding Health & Safety.
Are you Police Disclosure (CRB) Checked?
Yes. Proof of this can be provided for entertaining at Young Person’s discos.
What if your equipment fails on the night?
We carry a spare amplifier, mixer, 2 CD players, Minidisc player, microphone and other spares like bulbs and fuses. If the unfortunate does happen, it only takes literally a minute or even seconds to switch to our backup equipment meaning your party can continue.
How much audio power do you have?
For smaller events like Children's parties, we use 2 speakers which can produce 600 Watts RMS between them. This is the minimal level we use at all functions. For larger events such as Weddings or 21st Birthday's, this is usually increased to 1.3KW by adding two more speakers. Each event is professionally judged on a case-by-case basis beforehand and mainly depends on:
a) Size of venue
b) Number of guests at the function
What kinds of music do you have?
We carry a wide variety of music comprising of thousands of tracks from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and present day songs.
These include older popular Artists (Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, Nat “King” Cole…), Rock (Rolling Stones, Who, Rod Stewart…), Reggae (Bob Marley, Shaggy, Jimmy Cliff…), Motown (Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Four Tops…), Country Town & Western (Billy Swan, Billy Ray Cyrus, Dolly Parton…) and the usual party tunes (YMCA, Oops Upside Your Head, Timewarp…).
Can we provide some of our own music on the night?
Absolutely, as long as your songs are on a CD, Minidisc or vinyl record (33 or 45). It is not uncommon for a client to request this. Please inform us at the booking stage if you wish us to use your own vinyl discs at the event.
Do you play requests?
Yes, throughout the whole evening or as desired. Feel free to even give us a list of the songs/genres you would NOT like to be played.
Will it be loud?
We will play at your desired level. If you think it is too loud, let us know - likewise if it is too quiet!
How much room does the disco take?
Usually a corner or a stage-worth, not an over-excessive amount of space.
What type of power points do you need?
We need only two standard 13amp sockets to operate.
The nearest power sockets are not near the stage or area we wish you to play, how much cable do you have?
We always carry plenty of spare cable should the need arise - over 50 metres.
Can you set up outside?
We cannot set up our disco equipment in the open air, even on hot summer nights. There is always a greater risk of our valuable equipment being damaged outside at night. We can however, set up anywhere under shelter (ie/ marquees).
How many people will you bring with you?
Oliver and one assistant. The assistant usually leaves during the event although may stay depending on the arrangements of the night.
What time will you arrive?
This is mutually agreed by both parties in the booking stage and put in writing for peace of mind. We take just under one and a half hours to set up and carry out sound checks etc. We are also members of a vehicle breakdown recovery service, just in case.
How long will it take to pack up the equipment at the end of the evening?
Usually less than thirty minutes (including loading into our vehicle).
Do we need to provide you with food and drink
No, although anything consumable is greatly appreciated!
Can we attend one of your events and see the discothèque in action?
Attending one of our functions is a great way of understanding what makes us the number one choice and will show you how we make the difference. As most functions are private events, like Weddings, it is not always possible for you to attend as it is somebody's special day. If you contact us, we can let you know of any other functions we are performing at of a similar nature to your enquiry where you will be able to view us in action. To see some other guests thoughts on their events, Testimonials can be viewed here.
When should I book my event?
You can book your event as far in advance as you wish. We have been known to receive bookings up to a year or more in advance. We also take last minute bookings should you have been let down by anyone else, or if it literally is just a last minute party.
What about prices?
As each function is unique, we offer a completely tailored service to make your event the best it can be. Whether it be a Children's party through to the Wedding of your dreams, contact us for an all inclusive price with no hidden extras.
Do you charge a deposit?
All bookings are required to pay a non-refundable 25% deposit to secure the booking. The remaining 75% balance is to be paid at the event itself by means of cash or a cheque.
What happens when we book you?
You will be sent a written copy of all the details to keep, confirmation letter, and terms & conditions posted to the desired address. The letter and terms are returned signed and dated so both parties agree with the details and any musical or other requests can be given in advance. You will receive a confirmation in the form of a telephone call 1 week before the event.
If you feel a reference would be helpful (provided we have permission), we can give you addresses of past clients.
