Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Performance space approximately 5m x 2m but can size to fit your space. 2 x mains sockets. 1 x parking space.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I am fully self-contained and can provide all equipment including sound and lighting as apprpriate to the event and in-house provision (if any, not required). For outdoor events, I can provide my own power if necessary to run a good size sound system and lighting (not just a little battery amplifier).


What information do you require about a venue?

Depending on the complexity of the event, up to and hour and a half is required to set up. I need to know in advance if set-up is required earleir than the start of the event e.g. for a reception where set-up is required before guests arrive.


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

I can provide background music before and after and during breaks if required. This can be as loud as you like, for example, if you want to extend the party after I have finished playing.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Best gig - a tiny restaurant with no more than a dozen people, was so intimate and very memorable because of the interaction. Best venue - Northants Cricket Club charity dinner for 750 people. Was immense.


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

So many, but Billy Joel, Queen, Alicia Keys, all of the disco and rock'n'roll eras, Arctic monkeys, Beethoven, Jean Michelle Jarre, Michael Jackson.


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

I've been playing publicly since my early teens. I played pubs, clubs, hotels, cathedrals, churches, outdoor festivals, holiday parks. You name it I've probably palyed it or somewhere like it. Not yet at sea though ....


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

I love all events, every performance is a buzz when people are enjoying themselves ! I particularly love family celebrations and the outdoors in the summer.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set-up time varies depending on the event, but an hour and a half for a full set-up including sound and lighting. Half an hour if PA and lighting are provided. Please give notice if set-up in advance is required e.g. before guests arrive or sit down for a meal. Set times and playing times by prior agreement but to suit the event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Very happy. I love to play with the sun on me ! Not so good in the rain, especially with all the electricity.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Mixed. I have a set repertoire, I can flex somewhat to grant requests at the time and can work up a bespoke set or style with some advance notice.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Amazing, fabulous, very enoyable. Check my page for some recent reviews.
