About / Biography

I'm an experienced performer, playing and singing a huge variety of acoustic covers from recent hits and back through the decades. I've built my songlist up over the years to around 500 songs, mainly from requests from when I've been playing live. I'm very good at adapting my song choice to the occasion and reading the room, and am equally at home playing background music or getting the party going with some classic singalongs or songs to dance to.

I've played at private parties, weddings and corporate events, as well as honing my craft in public venues such as bars, pubs and restaurants.

I'm an in demand performer in my local area and really enjoy the thrill of performing and engaging with an audience.

I would really love to be part of your next event, and am confident that you'll be very happy that you booked me. Please check out my reviews to give you a good idea of what to expect when I play!

I'm happy to tailor my setlist around what you want me to play from my list of songs.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need access to a power socket, ideally within 5-10 metres of where I'm playing, although I do have a 30 metre extension lead if needed.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I have a Bose P.A system and my own lighting if needed.


What information do you require about a venue?

It would be helpful to know about parking and the location of a power supply.


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

I can stream music through my P.A system if needed between my sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Playing for a well know local footballer's 50th party is a memorable one, as is playing at one of the country's top restaurants in Berkshire for the chairman of a well know company.


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

I love many types of music so it's hard to pigeon hole who is my favourite artist and greatest song of all time. It depends what mood I'm in!


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

I have played guitar for many years and started gigging with a covers band about 10 years ago. It's evolved into me doing solo gigs now.


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

I like playing at parties when people are up for dancing and singing along. It gives me a real buzz!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

It take me around 30 minutes to set up.

I normally play for 2x45 minutes with a 15 minute break in between. This is flexible and can be discussed according to your requirements.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes


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

I'm happy for clients to choose which songs they'd like me to play from my list of over 500 songs.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Good fun and highly interactive with the audience are often mentioned.
