2. Why should I hire a DJ when I can just set up an iPod to play music?

There's a world of difference between pressing play on a device and professional DJ services. Dave has years of experience reading the crowd and structuring the music set according to the mix of people at your event. He adapts in real-time to the energy and vibe, something no playlist can do.

4. Is Dave really that expensive?

The years of experience and professionalism differentiate Dave's services from "cheaper" alternatives. The professional sound and lighting systems we use far outrank any competitors, and our track record speaks for itself. You're investing in quality, reliability, and an unforgettable event experience.

5. Will the DJ arrive?

Top Jocks has never missed a function since 1988! Even in the face of disaster, we've always made sure the function went ahead. When one of our team had a taxi crash into him while en route to a wedding, another team member dropped everything and performed the wedding. When Dave Ward had back surgery, a colleague stepped in immediately. Your event is way more important to us than any obstacle.

6. What happens if the DJ is ill on the day?

Being ill doesn't stop us. Your wedding or function is far too important. We will be there sick or well – that's our commitment to you and your guests. If for any reason Dave cannot perform, we have backup professionals ready to step in and deliver the same level of excellence.

7. How long has Dave been in business?

Top Jocks has been providing exceptional entertainment for weddings, birthdays, and celebrations of all types since 1988. Dave has been performing professionally since 1991 – that's over 30 years of combined experience delivering outstanding results.

8. What will the DJ be wearing at my function?

We strive to be professional in absolutely everything we do – from our equipment to our appearance. We aim to dress as smart as or smarter than your guests, ensuring we complement rather than distract from your event's sophistication.

9. Do you have a wide variety of music? Can you cater for all age groups and cultural groups?

Yes on all counts. Our team has years of experience playing for diverse functions with mixed age groups and cultural backgrounds. We maintain vast music libraries spanning many decades and genres, allowing us to seamlessly cater to any combination of guests.
