So much talent from Jan! This has to reach a greater audience eventually.
Sumbuk
What she provides us with here is akin to what Ms. Keating does with her cello. Ms. Welsh uses looping and other effects to give us a set of pieces I find more to my liking than anything that Eddie guy produced. I highly recommend this.
Tru Bastet
Reason 1) Jan Halen is a rad name! Reason 2) The tunes are just plain awesome!!
Clara
We had the pleasure of having Jan play at our wedding reception. Her violin melodies added an ethereal touch to our special day. Many guests approached us to compliment her exquisite performance. Jan's talent truly elevated the ambiance of our celebration.

FAQs

What kind of music does a violinist play?

A violinist can play different types of music, from classical to pop music and film music. Violinists often offer a wide repertoire of music pieces, but it is always good to inquire about what types of music a violinist can play.

Can they perform outdoors?

When booking a soloist for an outdoor location, you must take the weather and environment into account. Make sure the musician is protected from rain or wind and that they can amplify the sound if necessary. It can also help to have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Especially in winter, most musicians cannot perform outside.

WHy book entertainment for the holidays?

Booking entertainment for holidays can be a great way to increase holiday cheer and provide a fun and memorable experience for guests. It can range from musicians, comedians, magicians, dancers and other performers who create a festive atmosphere and entertain guests. Additionally, it can help create a positive and festive atmosphere, and can help promote a sense of togetherness and celebration during the holiday season.

Does the music duo need technology?

This depends on the needs of the music duo and the type of event. Music duos often have their own equipment, but it is always good to inquire whether you need to make provisions for the duo.

What happens during bands breaks?

During the breaks, the band provides atmospheric music which they play over their sound system. The music is of course in line with the music played during the performance. Some bands come with a DJ, who will then provide the music. Of course you can also book a DJ for the breaks with all live bands.

How far in advance are bands ready?

The live band is ready to start 30 minutes prior to the performance. This means that everything has been built up and sound checked. It is also possible to agree that the live band will be ready to start earlier in advance. The band members will of course spend more time on the assignment, which is why they will charge a fee for this waiting time.

How long does a DJ play?

This is flexible and completely depends on your wishes. Usually a DJ plays from 1 o'clock and usually up to 4 hours. However, it is also possible to employ a DJ for longer than 4 hours, for a wedding DJ for example. A drink and small snack are welcome!

Does the DJ bring in their own sound and lights?

Yes, in most cases we agree this way. Our DJs have a sound set that is suitable for a party for up to 150 people. This can also be expanded for larger numbers of guests. You can also hire it yourself if this is your preference. Often the cheapest option is to book this with the DJ. He or she is also familiar with the equipment that works well for him or her.

Can I give requests to the DJ?

Yes, this is possible. It is best to arrange this with the DJ before booking. Then he or she can ensure that the songs are beautifully incorporated into the DJ set. You can also provide a single request number on the evening itself, but we advise against doing this too much. This makes it more difficult to build the set properly.

What is included in the price?
