PRS & PPL Licensed.
Diamond Dave’s Karaoke is a mobile operation that is suitable for small and medium venues (up to 300 people). We specialize in high quality sound amplification, of great quality, whether turned up full or relatively soft. (We can provide a larger rig of up to 4KW if required: 130db).
Typically we run the Karaoke roadshow for three hours. We can also provide background “disco” music, and if your event includes a presentation then you are welcome to use our PA and hand-held radio mikes too.
Our roadshow is “driven” by David Thornton, a professional singer / presenter, who can start the ball rolling with a few songs if needed. We provide cards for singers to fill in, requesting their song, the artist, and if playback should be in a lower or higher key than the original. A QR code that leads smart phone users to an online catalogue of songs available can also be supplied.
Our set-up includes one 25 inch monitor displaying the words for the songs, but we can also link into your own TV screens via an HDMI cable, which you would need to supply. We provide two radio mikes for singers, and can provide lighting rigs too.
The Songs: We hold a commercial license to play songs from a catalogue of well over 46,000 songs when we are connected to a Wi-Fi signal (recommended).
Peace of Mind: We carry £10million of public liability insurance through the UK Musicians Union and our equipment is PAT tested annually.
Experience counts! As well as being an accomplished vocalist and presenter, David Thornton has managed product launches, award ceremonies and media events for over thirty years. You can be sure your event is in good hands.
Setting Up: We like to arrive about an hour before the start, and it takes around 30 minutes to strike the roadshow at the end of the event. We only require one 13amp socket, as we bring all our own extensions.
Fees: For a typical show of three to four hours, like the one explained above, we charge £135 within 20 miles of Sheffield. If you’re outside that area please get in touch and we’ll supply a quote that includes a small increase for travel. We may request a deposit, and will provide a pro-forma invoice before your event, so that you can pay us on the night.
