What this website collects

If you use a contact form, booking link, or subscription form, we collect the details you choose to send, such as your name, email address, phone number, message, and appointment or subscription preferences.

The site also records basic technical information needed to deliver and secure the website, such as IP address, device/browser details, pages requested, and timestamps.

Why we use it

We use enquiry data to reply to you and manage your booking. When you ask us to play at your wedding, party or event, the lawful basis is usually contract — or steps taken at your request before entering a contract. Marketing email is sent only with your consent, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Lawful basis: legitimate interests

For some processing — replying to general enquiries, keeping booking and event records, and securing the website — we rely on legitimate interests:

  • Purpose: to respond to enquiries, arrange and run the events you book, keep accurate records of dates and arrangements, and keep this website secure and working.
  • Necessity: this processing is necessary because we cannot confirm a date, plan your night or keep our service reliable without holding the details you send us.
  • Balance: we have weighed this against your rights and freedoms. We only handle the details you choose to give us, keep them no longer than needed, and do not use them for anything you would not reasonably expect.

Where we rely on a recognised legitimate interest under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 — for example, disclosing information to a public-safety body where the law allows — the balancing test does not apply to that specific disclosure.

Processors and third parties

Cookies and browser storage

See the cookie policy for the current cookie and browser storage table. Non-essential analytics cookies must not be used before consent.

Retention

Enquiries are kept only for as long as needed to respond and manage the relationship, then deleted or archived under the client's normal record-keeping rules. Marketing subscribers remain subscribed until they unsubscribe or ask to be removed.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you can ask to access, correct, erase, restrict, or transfer your personal data, object to some processing, or withdraw consent.

Subject access requests

You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will make reasonable and proportionate searches to find it and respond within the statutory timeframe (normally one month). To make a request, email [email protected].

Your right to complain

If you are unhappy with how we have used your personal data, you can complain to us first using our data-protection complaints form, or by email to [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and keep you informed of progress and the outcome.

If you remain dissatisfied, you can escalate to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
