14) My friend is a DJ and is coming to the party. Can he play a set?
Sorry, but no he can't. For insurance & safety reasons we only allow our own staff to use our equipment.

Back to top.

15) What happens if your equipment breaks down on the night?
This is not 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.

17) Do you use strobe lights?
No, as they can have an adverse effect on people with certain medical conditions.

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.

19) Do you do this full time?
Yes. We are a full time professional business, not a part time business or hobby.

Back to top.

20) Can you go on later than booked if required?
Yes, 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.

21) How much space do you need to set up in?
Our equipment requires a space about 3 metres (10 feet) wide and 2 metres (6.5 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 6 months and 18 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. For weddings, this usually means a shirt, tie and trousers.

Back to top.

27) Do we get written confirmation of our booking?
Yes. We always send a booking confirmation letter after receiving 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. 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 with us. If you cancel within a 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 professional company with about 10,000 songs from 8 decades. We also hold a ProDub licence, £5 million public liability insurance and all equipment is PAT (portable appliance) tested. Our DJs are full time professionals with at least 15 years experience, and all bookings are confirmed in writing. You will NOT find all this offered elsewhere for £100. If you DO decide to 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!
