Yes, I am completely self contained. I bring my own 1000w PA system to all of my gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.

I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. I’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue, and any information regarding curfew times (all music to be turned off by, etc)

I can provide tailored background music sets for different scenarios for example a soft mix for whilst a dinner is happening, a more upbeat selection for between band sets and a full on party playlist for after the band finishes.
Clients can also use their own Spotify playlist if they like.

Probably the best gig I've done was when I performed at the legendary Desert Springs Golf Resort in Almería, Spain for New Years Eve last year. It was an amazing experience to perform in a picturesque scene of palm trees and smiling faces, and to bring in the new year Spanish-style!

I have always been a big Fleetwood Mac fan. Their songs always seem to hit home and get people singing and up on their feet. So many amazing groups to mention but others that stand out are definitely The Eagles, The Beatles, Blur, Wheatus, Robbie Williams, George Michael, Stevie Wonder.

Greatest song of all time? Toughie! Probably The Chain by Fleetwood Mac or Hotel California by The Eagles!

I have played guitar for Boyzone, been on TV performances with Ronan Keating and Jason Donovan, played on a blues album with original Dire Straits drummer Pick Withers, and toured extensively around the UK and Europe. Since then I’ve performed at hundreds of weddings, parties and events across the UK and beyond.

I really enjoy weddings! There is such a vibe on someone's wedding day that usually ends up with a full dance floor and the crowd chanting for more!

I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up, usually 6pm for an 8pm start or similar.

I have found that sets starting at 8-8:30pm work best. For example:

Set One: 8-9pm
Set Two: 10-11pm

or

Set One: 8:30-9:30pm
Set Two: 10:30-11:30pm

I normally perform 2x60m sets but can play longer or shorter sets, for example 2x45m sets, but these timings are what I have found suit myself and audiences best.

I am happy to play outside but I have to ensure the equipment will be sufficiently covered and protected from rain.
I would also need to ensure there is a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 2 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.

I've been very fortunate to receive great praise from previous clients, ranging from people who love the guitar work and solos to others who commented that I pitched the tone, tempo and song choices perfectly throughout the day and gave them the perfect soundtrack to their night.
