Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A dry space to be in - indoors or outdoors!
A plug is great, but if you don't have one, just let me know in advance - I can play from battery power.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I'm completely self contained, with my own PA system. I do not have a lighting system, because for most events I play this is not necessary.


What information do you require about a venue?

The address and a rough idea of the size of the crowd.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

More than happy to play music on Spotify between sets, let me know in advance. £30 charge. You may also connect your own device to my PA system via Bluetooth for free.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Festivals are always a lot of fun. Playing the Marquee at Cambridge Folk Festival was a definite highlight!


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

My favourite artist (at the moment!) is probably Belle and Sebastian - great songwriting and beautiful arrangements. But I've been most influenced by The Beatles, and always play a couple of theirs at my gigs.


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

I've been gigging since I was 13! I've played in bands, folk orchestras and solo. I love connecting with an audience and putting a smile on their face.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup takes about 20 minutes.
Normally, I play 2x45 or 3x45 minute sets - these allow people some time to go to the bar and catch up between enjoying the music!


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely - its great playing outside! I just ask that there's a contingency plan for rain - a gazebo or somewhere else dry.
