I need at least a 3mx2m space to setup some speakers and a 1 man show. I need at least 1 power socket and ideally somewhere to park my van.
Yes I have full sound rig and lights to light up the stage.
I just require a full address and postcode, what times, and where, I can load in.
Yes I provide an unmanned Spotify playlist service free of charge. If you require me to stay on stage taking requests for the evening that costs extra. Spotify playlists can be sent in advance or you can use one of mine. Just let me know the vibes you're looking for.
I loved performing at Ronnies in Meribel on the French Alps. It was great to play on the outdoor stage to the Apres Ski crowds, who love'd going wild, whilst overlooking the snowy slopes.
I'm a big fan of Nile Rodgers and all the great party hits he wrote and produced. I can't help but boogie when I hear them and the soulfulness of some of the singing and arrangements is top tier.
I've been playing the guitar since I was 13 and joined my first band when I was in high school at 14. After studying music technology at university I then started cutting my teeth on the open mic circuits, eventually joining a more established band who showed me the ropes of the corporate world. I know look after around 10 bands and perform all over the world.
I love performing in any scenario but I do love a good party where the guests are up for a sing a long and a dance. Weddings and Birthdays are great examples of people coming together and letting their hair down to some great music.
Yes I perform acoustically as a solo, duo, trio or electrically in 3 piece or more. Please ask, or search this site for more line-ups
I tend to like 60-90 minutes to arrive, get my bearings and setup before i start performing. I then split the show into 2x60 minute sets or 3x40 minute sets throughout the evening.
As long as my equipment is safe from any weather damage then I'm fine with playing outside. A fully acoustic show with no electronic equipment can be good for this as we can quickly run inside if issues occur.
I happily learn 1 song, within reason, for the event. The client is more than welcome to request a few more that aren't on the repertoire which I'll discuss doing at my discretion.
A high energy show with a great mix of different styles and songs.
