I am 43 years old and stay in Penicuik, Midlothian. I started doing karaokes in pubs in Leith Walk, Edinburgh in 1999.
After 3 years working in this area, I began doing pub work in the Penicuik area. I have worked for The Entertainers' Agency who are based in Falkirk, doing Weddings at a number of the larger Edinburgh Hotels and at hotels in Pitlochry, Glasgow, Falkirk and the Lothians area. I have done numerous Christmas parties at both The McDonald's chain of hotels in the Edinburgh area and Peebles area as well as The Original Hotel in Roslin, Midlothian.

I currently use a desk top computer.

I work for myself and I regularly do 60 to 70 functions per year, including weekly pub disco / karaoke, party nights and weddings.

I provide the clients a professional service, always dressed accordingly.
For weddings, I provide a songlist of music as a guidance for first dances and the most popular dances, purely as a guidance.
I wear an evening suit with collar and tie. I offer ceilidh dancing at weddings, being able to compere the moves and talk everyone through the moves.
I have also done numerous Birthday Parties, Christmas Party Nights, Primary and High School discos over the years.

My fee for a private function is £150.

My fee for a wedding is £200 with a Ceilidh Band.
My fee for a wedding without a band is £200.
