4. Do you have a list of songs you perform?

5. If there’s a song we would particularly like, would you consider learning it for us?

6. What will you wear on the day? Will you need an area to change?

to check their dietary requirements)

8. Are you also able to provide lighting?

9. What are your requirements in terms of sound and lighting?

10. If the party is going with a swing, will you consider playing for longer? What would you charge for this?
