Christie Prentice Most Frequently Asked Questions
Below are all of the questions I could remember having been asked in the past. If you have a question that's not on here, please feel free to email christieprentice@alivenetwork.com or call my agent, Alive Network, on 01782 740839.
How much space do I need?
4 metres long x 2 metres deep preferably.
How is it best to time things?
I arrive 1 hr before I'm due to start singing - a 30-45 min break in between and then my last 45 min set. Timings are not set in stone so I can always be flexible to work around catering, speeches, other entertainment etc.
Can I pick Christie's playlist?
Yes you can, I always welcome suggestions and favourite songs you would like me to perform. But from past experience I feel it's always best to see what works well on the day so I can give you a night to remember.
Where will you travel?
I don't have a limit on how far I will travel, but it may mean a POA if it's somewhere I don't normally travel to (international veneus, mainly).
Can I see you play live?
I very rarely play regular events now. I will keep my social sites & website updated with any regular events that are open to the public.
Will you learn our special song?
Yes I am happy to learn your special song or first dance as long as I have enough time to learn it.
Is the video on your website a true reflection of you?
Yes, but I'm much better live.
How do I book you?
You can check my availability or contact my agent Alive Network via email or phone on 01782 740839.
Are you able to DJ in between sets?
Yes I offer a DJ package for an extra fee.
Can we make DJ requests in advance?
Yes.
Can we use your sound system for speeches?
Yes.
What equipment do you use?
I have 2 EV 400's, 1 Peavy monitor, 1 Yamaha 100watt Amp, relevant Mic's, iPod, stands etc.
Do you have lights?
Yes - 1 Led lighting bar, 2 led lights.
How long do you play for?
Normally 2 x 45mins sets but more on request for an extra small fee.
What time do you start and finish?
Whatever time is relevant. I work closely with the coordinator and yourself to perform when best suited. The entirety of my time at your event will last on more than 6 hours, any longer and an extra fee will incur.
How long do you take to set up?
I always say 1hr, so I'm not rushing but realistically about 30mins. With DJ as well then I will take 1hr to set up.
Can I professionally book you?
Yes.
Can someone get up and sing you with you?
Yes for a song or two but then it's probably best if I keep it rolling from there.
What will you wear?
Whatever is suitable for the event. I have many cocktail dresses, full length gowns and more subtle attire for maybe a garden tea party!
Does you have PAT and PLI certificates?
Yes.
Why should I book Christie Prentice?
I have 11 years experience working in the industry. I cater to all needs and fit into any situation. With a lengthy repertoire and with hundreds of performances under my belt I will give you the best in live music and leave you happy in the fact that you booked the right act.
How much does it cost to book you?
My standard fee starts at £484.
Where can I see some previous client testimonials?
Please see my testimonials page.
Does Christie have any special requirements?
To have enough space to perform and that my equipment is safe from being knocked over or having drink spilt on it.
What type/size venues are you able to play at?
From small intimate venues to concert halls.
How loud will you be?
I will be as loud or as quiet as you would like me to be for your event. I address the sound levels for each track I perform in case it's too loud or too quiet! I'm very conscious about how I come across so sound levels are very important to me.
What are Christie's power requirements?
1 but preferably 2 normal plug sockets.
Does Christie offer any additional services?
Yes.
