Equipment
How long does it take for you to setup?
Depending on the setup you have chosen, a maximum of 1.5 hours is required to setup at any type of function; unless the venue is not at ground level, then longer may be required. We usually endevour to dismantle our equipment and clear the venue in just under an hour.
Do you use strobe lighting as one of our guest suffers from Epilepsy?
We understand that guests with epilepsy maybe affected by lighting, so we do not use strobe lights in at any of our gigs. Our setups may vary from projector lights, led par cans or lasers; depending on your preference.
What power supply do you require?
We require at least two 13 amp earthed sockets within 5 metres of the setup area. If your function is in a marquee then a generator will be required.
Is your equipment PAT tested?
Yes, every year a qualified electrician checks our equipment. Regular maintence also makes sure that the equipment is in top working order.
What type of equipment do you use?
This all depends on the size of the venue we will be performing at and the package you have selected. We have a variation of PA setups ranging from speakers, par-can led lights, lasers, smoke machines and other effects units to suit your needs!
How safe is your equipment?
Whilst setting up, we thoroughly make sure that none of the equipment is going to cause a hazard. We insure that no Fire Exits are blocked, speakers or lights will not topple over and that there is absolutely no lose wiring for your party to trip over! All Equipment is covered with a Public Liability Insurance Policy in which we are covered for £5m by www.djguard.co.uk; part of Pavilion Insurance Group.

Location
What happens if you break down on the way to my function?
All of our entertainers are covered by the UK Rescue, Relay & Homestart Breakdown Cover and we always leave early giving me plenty of time to get to your venue. In the event of a breakdown, we can always arrange for alternative transportation to your venue.
Where are you based?
Originally we were based in Haywards Heath however we have now moved to a bigger location in Wivelsfield. Our address can be found on the Contact us page.
What area do you cover?
We cover the whole of Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Kent. However if special exceptions can be made if your event is a greater distance.
Music
Can I request a song on the night?
Unlike some DJ's who usually peform to a set playlist, all our Entertainers are flexible and approachable on the night to play the songs that you ask for.
What type of music do you play?
Choosing the right music for your party can be a tricky one, however A.C.Knell Entertainment caters for all genres ranging from the 1950's - present day chart music.
We allow you to tailor the music package to suit your needs and even offer advice when needed. Our musical libraries contain over 100,000 songs and 8,000 karaoke tracks to choose from with extensive music playlists.
If you wish to, we can always meet prior to the event to choose a suitable playlist to keep you and all your guests happy!
