2) What type of music do you play?
Anything you like, as we hold over 10,000 songs from 4,300 artists including many of the current top 40 singles. Unlike some discos, we don't limit requests. All clients receive a music request form with their booking confirmation, so they can pre-request as much of the music as they like. We also send a list of our most requested songs, as many clients find this helpful when selecting their music. Please note that we always endeavour to obtain any advance requests which are not already held.

3) How much do you charge?
Our standard disco is £295. The deluxe disco is £395. A daytime set up is £50 extra, and the overtime rate is £60 per hour. A quiz night is £95. A weekly quiz is £80. Surcharges may apply for bookings outside our area. Please ask for details.

Back to top.

4) How long do you take to set up your equipment?
We usually require about 60 minutes to carry in and set up the disco, although this reduces to around 45 minutes for ground floor function rooms with easy access. Quiz nights can normally be set up in about 15 minutes.

Back to top.

5) Can you set up your equipment in the daytime?
Yes. We can set up at any time you require. This will obviously depend on sufficient space being available when the room is set up for the meal, so you may need to check with the venue. A daytime set up is £50 extra, and if the disco is in the same room as the meal it can also include background music before the main disco and use of our wireless microphone if required.

6) Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A non-refundable deposit of £75 is required within fourteen days of all booking requests.

7) Can we meet with you?
Of course! We are happy to meet at your home, the venue or somewhere else convenient. There is no charge for this service.

8) Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We hold £10 million public liability insurance. A copy of our current certificate is available on request.

9) Is your equipment PAT (portable appliance) tested?
Yes. A copy of our last test report is available on request.

10) How can we pay?
We accept payment by cash, cheque or bank transfer. If paying the balance by cheque or bank transfer, please note that we require this at least fourteen days before your function.

Back to top.

11) Can you play background music during the meal?
Yes. If you book a disco with a daytime set up and the disco is in the same room as the meal, we can play background music during the meal for no extra charge.

Back to top.

12) What is your booking process?
We require the function details with your name & address, and will then send you a booking form to complete & return with a £75 deposit within fourteen days. On receipt of these, we will send written confirmation of your booking, a list of our most requested songs and a music request form. Please return the request form at least seven days before your party if possible. The outstanding balance can be paid by cheque or bank transfer at least fourteen days before the function, or alternatively on the night itself, before the start time, in cash. If you would like to meet in advance, please let us know, and we will be more than happy to arrange this.

13) Do you have any testimonials?
Yes. We have dozens of testimonials from recent clients. They are all unsolicited cards or emails. Brief extracts of some of these are shown on our home page and all the originals are available on request.

14) Do you have a wireless microphone we can use for the speeches?
Yes. If you book a disco with a daytime set up and the disco is in the same room as the meal, you can use our wireless microphone for no extra charge. Please ensure you arrange this in advance.

15) What happens if your equipment breaks down on the night?
This will not be a problem, as we always carry spare equipment.

Back to top.

16) We are also having a band at our function. Can you work around them?
Yes. This arrangement works well, as the disco can fill in when the band take their breaks, which provides non-stop music throughout the evening. We always liaise with the band in an effort to avoid duplicating their set list.

Back to top.

17) Does the disco include a lightshow?
Yes. All our lighting is the modern LED type and is operated with a wireless controller. LED lighting has a number of advantages, as it produces minimal heat, there are no bulbs to blow and it only uses a fraction of the power required by traditional lighting.

Back to top.

18) Do you use smoke machines?
Not usually. Most venues do not allow smoke machines, as they can set off fire alarms. However, if your function is in a marquee or venue which permits their use, we can supply a smoke machine on request. There is no extra charge for this service.

Back to top.

19) Do you do this full time?
Yes. We are a full time professional business, not a part time business or hobby. This means that we can spend as much time as required preparing for your event.

Back to top.

20) Can you go on later than booked if required?
Yes. This is subject to licence restrictions & the agreement of venue officials where appropriate. The overtime rate is £60 per hour, payable in cash before the overtime period commences.

Back to top.

21) How much space do you need to set up in?
Our equipment requires a space about 4 metres (12 feet) wide and 2 metres (6 feet) deep.

Back to top.

22) Our venue has a sound limiter. Will this cause a problem?
Sound limiters cut the disco's power if the volume exceeds a pre-set level, but are often set too low. They can also be triggered by singing, cheering or clapping. This may spoil the evening and also cause damage to our equipment. Therefore, we don't usually accept bookings in buildings with these devices, so please inform us if your venue has one.

Back to top.

23) Our function is taking place in a marquee. Will this cause you any problems?
We need to know if the marquee company will supply power sockets, as we may have to bring extra leads to obtain power from a nearby building. Also, we can't set up on a dance floor, as this is unsafe for our equipment.

Back to top.

24) What are the events beyond your control referred to in point 12 of your terms & conditions?
These include power cuts, security alerts, fire, flood, riot and other rare events.

Back to top.

25) How far in advance do we need to book?
As soon as possible, as we are unable to hold a date until you make a booking. Most clients secure our services between 3 months and 12 months in advance, but we can sometimes accept short notice bookings subject to availability.

Back to top.

26) What will you wear on the night?
We always dress appropriately for the occasion, so for weddings this means a suit and tie. Please let us know if you have any special requirements.

Back to top.

27) Do we get written confirmation of our booking?
Yes. We always send a booking confirmation as soon as we have received your booking form and deposit.

Back to top.

28) What happens if we need to cancel the booking?
Please let us know as soon as possible in writing. If you cancel one month or more before the function date, your deposit will not be refunded, although it will be held against any future booking made with us. If you cancel within one month of the function date, the full outstanding balance will become due.

29) We know someone who will do our disco for £100. Why should we book YOU?
We are a full time business with over 10,000 songs from many decades. We also hold a ProDub licence, £10 million public liability insurance and all equipment is PAT (portable appliance) tested. Our service is friendly & efficient, we have dozens of testimonials, more than 20 years experience and all bookings are confirmed in writing. We have achieved a Platinum award from the DJ Mark organisation and are also members of the Wedding DJ Alliance and the South Eastern Discotheque Association. You will NOT find all this offered elsewhere for £100. If you DO book a disco with low prices, please remember that you usually get what you pay for. It's YOUR function, and it's YOUR choice!
