CERTIFIED

Jeff has public liability insurance for performance and PAT tested equipment. Certificates available on request.

TECH SPEC

Jeff has his own audio / visual equipment which is suitable for most small- to medium-sized venues. A line out (jack) from Jeff's amp can be sent to the desk if needed.

Also, if the venue has an in-house projector and screen it would be helpful to know in advance if it is available to use.

SUITABLE VENUES

The slide show element will work best indoors. Theatre style seating is always nicer to perform to but Jeff will make the most of any setting.
