About / Biography

With 30+ years on guitar, I’ve been performing live acoustic sets since 2008 in pubs, bars, carehomes and other venues across the UK—and even in Vietnam, Crete, and Spain. My setlist is a journey through the decades: from 60s classics (or earlier for certain venues), 70s & 80s rock and pop, 90s Britpop & indie, 00s favourites, right through to modern chart hits.*I also do lots of Christmas numbers during the festive season* I keep things fresh with regular updates and can take requests to make every gig unique. I also perform as a duo with my dad, adding electric guitars, heavier covers, and drum machine backing for bigger energy. Check out my video link or message me on WhatsApp for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I played as part of a Nirvana Unplugged tribute act on An Banh beach in Hoi An (Vietnam). We played here regularly and it was a great evening for expats and locals to meet and socialize!


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

Influences range from Fleetwood Mac to Guns n Roses- one of my favourite songs is The Chain. I play all sorts of covers that you wouldn't expect to find on an acoustic set , influenced by my favourite artists, played in my own unique style.


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

I have played guitar for over 30 years, but started doing acoustic gigs whilst working in Crete in 2008, since then I have turned it into a profession and play every weekend in various venues in the UK.


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

I like all sorts of events but a good crowded pub is where I thrive.


What's an unlikely song that you play that really grabs the customers' attention?

I have two- Wannabe (Spice Girls) and Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush) people are surprised by both of these but seem to love them in different ways !

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally play 2 or 3 x 45 minute sets depending on what's required with the booking. It usually takes me around 20 minutes to set up.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes as long as there is a power supply and shelter from bad weather!


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

I often do requests, and if I don't know the particular request I will play something similar.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I've often been told that the customers thoroughly enjoyed my act and the range of songs that I played.
