About / Biography

I am a local musician based in Broome (near Birmingham in the West Midlands). A dynamic, skilled and experienced singer and guitarist.
I have my own PA equipment, and I play a wide range of pop songs as the main set- and mix in rootsy fascinating funk, and rock and roll from the 60s to the present day.

As well as solo gigs I play with a trio. We are a funk, fusion jazz blues band from Worcestershire. We often play with a saxophonist to bring our band to a four-piece, playing an electrifying and soulful mixture of songs.

Lineups:

  • Solo singer and guitarist
  • Alternatively can add a keyboardist or bassist for a duo
  • A third option is a drummer for a three-piece band.
  • Fourthly a saxophonist can be added

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

It was amazing to play Birmingham NEC, a huge audience for a corporate event.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I've been profoundly influenced by blues and jazz musicians such as Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robben Ford, BB King, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and John Coltrane. However, my ultimate favorite artist is Jimi Hendrix. His exceptional songwriting and guitar playing have had a lasting impact on my musical taste and inspiration. As for the greatest song of all time, it's a tough choice, but Hendrix's version of "All along the watchtower" holds a special place for me.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Having delved into the vibrant world of gigging at the tender age of 16, Capricorn has amassed an impressive 29 years of experience. His musical odyssey commenced in the cozy atmosphere of an open mic night in his hometown, Worthing, setting the foundation for a lifelong commitment to live performances. Capricorn has performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and festivals across the UK since then.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

While we enjoy performing at various events, weddings hold a special place in our hearts. The joyous atmosphere and the delight of the guests make it a favorite for us, and getting them on the dance floor is always a breeze!
