Martin is a highly accomplished, versatile singer and guitarist with over 500 gigs and 20 years of experience to his name. He has played all over London and the South-East and is confident in front of both large and intimate crowds alike, having performed in a variety of settings. These include the Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, the Greenbelt Festival, legendary venues such as The Half Moon Putney and Dublin Castle in Camden, as well as numerous private functions and weddings.
With a repertoire spanning six decades of rock, pop, and classic covers, Martin ensures he can tailor his performance to suit the occasion. Whether it's creating a serene acoustic backdrop for weddings, lunches, dinners and intimate settings or igniting a lively party atmosphere with energetic backing beats and live looping, he provides an unforgettable experience.
Martin always delivers, whether it be tenderly performing an acoustic ballad or belting out a rock anthem. By learning songs by ear rather than from chord sheets, he infuses each song he plays with added depth and attention to detail, creating faithful and soulful renditions that captivate audiences.
Beyond his musical talents, Martin is frequently praised for his professionalism, helpfulness and clear and thorough communication from start to finish. Together with his infectious energy and engaging stage presence, this makes Martin the ideal choice for your wedding, birthday party, corporate event or private function.

POWER REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum of two power sockets
SPACE REQUIREMENTS:
- Ideally I need a minimum playing/stage area of 6 feet wide by 4 feet deep (approx 1.8 metres x 1.2 metres). If you're unsure, don't worry, I'll always find a way of making it work!
PARKING REQUIREMENTS:
- 1 parking space, preferably as near as possible to the main entrance of the building I will be playing in.
OUTSIDE PERFORMANCE:
- Require: suitable flat ground; back, side and overhead cover (or at least be in shade); a power supply close to the performance area.
Yes, I am fully self-contained and bring my own PA system, music equipment and lighting.
I need to know any specific directions that will help us find the venue, whether or not there is parking onsite and the best place to load in my equipment.
- I can provide pre-recorded music for up to 1 hour prior to performance + between sets - this service is free of charge. Unfortunately, you and your guests won't be able to request specific songs.
- If you would prefer, you can bring along your own device and play your own playlist through my PA system instead.
- If you'd like music after my performance, I can discuss this for an additional fee. This is not strictly a DJ service, however, so you and your guests won't be able to request specific songs.
SET-UP & SOUND-CHECK:
- I need 1 hour to set-up and sound-check so typically we will arrive at the venue 1 hour prior to my performance start time. The sound-check will require me to play at the volume that the performance will be at but usually lasts only 5-10 minutes.
EARLY SET-UP (e.g. before guests arrive):
- If required, I am happy to finish my set-up and sound-check up to 1 hour before my performance start time, without additional fees.
- Should you require me to finish my set-up and sound-check more than 1 hour before my performance start time, this will incur an additional fee charged at £30 per hour.
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE/SET TIMES:
1.5 HOURS (2 x 45 minute sets)
2 HOURS (2 x 1 hour or 3 x 40 minute sets)
2.5 HOURS (2 x 1.25 hours or 3 x 50 minute sets)
3 HOURS (3 x 1 hour or 4 x 45 minute sets)
BREAKS:
- Minimum of one break required.
- Suggested length of breaks between sets: 15 - 30 minutes.
I am happy to perform outside but will require suitable flat ground; back, side and overhead cover (or at least be in shade); a power supply close to the performance area.
SONG REQUESTS:
- If there is a particular song you would like me to play that isn't in my repertoire, then I will be happy to learn it for you to make your event even more special. All I need is at least 2 weeks notice to allow time to learn it and there is a fee of £50 for this service, to take into account rehearsal time etc.
SETLIST CHOICE:
- Prior to the event, I will provide you with my full repertoire to give you the opportunity to choose the songs you would like me to play for you.
Previous clients typically say that I am very professional and highly skilled, provide great quality entertainment and get everyone up dancing and singing along.
