An example of events I have played:
- Sofar Sounds style intimate concerts
- Small parties/gatherings
- Large parties/weddings
- Bars/Restaurant
- Corporate food/drinks events
- Wakes/Funeral services

A performance space of 2x2 metres. I do not require power as my equipment is battery powered. Parking usually required.
I provide all my own sound equipment!
Detailed directions to help me find my way and prevent delays. Information about parking always welcome!
I can, but only via prior arrangement.
I once performed in the Garden at No.10 Downing Street!
The great Soul singers of the 60's/70's! Although my favourite tune of all time is Diamonds On the Soles Of Her Shoes by Paul Simon.
I've been gigging since I moved to London as a fresh-faced 18 year old. Since then I've played all over the country, Europe & beyond. I've done hundreds of gigs from Weddings, Parties, Bars, Pubs, Clubs, Marriage Proposals, Funerals, Wakes - if it's there to be played, I've done it!
When the sun's shining, nothing beats a garden party. Anytime you can get people together outside with some food, drink & live music - it doesn't get much better than that.
Set up takes no longer than 20 minutes. Generally I play 1 hour or 2 x 45 minute sets, but I can be flexible right up to the last!
Yes, as long as there is shelter from any elements and an even surface to set-up on.
I am always happy to be guided on Set List. Generally, I ask for a few favourites from my repertoire and can tailor a set-list to suit, but I am more than happy to let the client take as many requests as they like from my song list (available via my profile).
Requests - I am always happy to learn special requests when time allows, but this must be arranged before-hand and special conditions may apply (though I don't usually charge!).
Laid-back and soulful. People always pick up on my good energy and seem to love to hear me sing!
