We need a single power socket. Re performance space around 3 x 3 meters is required and 1 parking space, however depending on location we may require 2 parking spaces.
Yes we are self contained and use our own PA system.
Address and name of room or suite in the venue. Also a contact name at the venue.
We can play (background) music between sets if required
Yes, we do carry extension leads but would normally expect the venue to assist if its a very long run of cable.
Yes. It is renewed annually.
A recent gig at a private residence was particularly enjoyable and memorable. It was an anniversary and birthday rolled into one with everybody singing along to a number of songs (Sweet Caroline and Wonderwall were particular faves) and dancing and generally having a great time.
We like a lot of artists including Adele, Ricky Martin, Dionne Warwick to name but a few. Bruno Mars is also an influence and we love his song Risk It All.
Brian and Helen met at an event when Brian was playing solo guitar. Helen arrived later to perform her songs after I had finished my set and I asked if she would be interested in forming a duo with guitar and voice. We have since developed an interesting and diverse song repertoire and of course I can throw in an occasional solo guitar piece which people really seem to like and enjoy.
We like all events where there is a good vibe and people are enjoying themselves.
Yes that's fine. However, if they are new songs to us we generally limit it to about 5 songs. Obviously the more notice the better.
Yes, this is a popular request as it works so well for this part of the wedding day.
Yes, you are welcome to do this so long as it is within the agreed contract times.
We are willing to travel to most parts of the UK but obviously a long journey will incur a higher quote to cover travel time plus accommodation if finishing late.
Yes, I can play an extensive range of popular songs as a guitar solo also described as an 'instrumental'
If there is a particular piece/song that you want performed that is not in my repertoire, let me know asap so that I can check it out.
We normally arrive 1 or 2 hours before the performance to set up. We would normally perform 2 x 45 minutes. We’re happy to play a bit longer if required but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
We’re very happy to play outside but we need shade when its very sunny, a flat level surface, and a power supply close to the performance area
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 4-5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
They will often say that we are polite, friendly and very professional. Clients very often say that the music was perfect and liked the combination of songs with some solo guitar music.
Very little in fact. The most important having access to a power supply.
We generally work within sets of 45 minutes. On average we are asked to play for two or three 45 minute sets. We can though be flexible on this.
It is a duo using voice and guitar.
Generally we do not use backing tracks however, the singer may occasionally use one if a specific song or request is made that is not in our duo repertoire.
Yes, we can adapt to play at many different types of events such as Corporate, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Weddings, concerts and themed events.
