Jack is a professional solo acoustic guitarist and vocalist, bringing an energetic and engaging live show to weddings, pubs/clubs, holiday parks, private parties and corporate events.
Performing completely live with acoustic guitar, vocals and stomp box, Jack puts his own upbeat spin on well-known songs, creating a full, rhythmic sound without the need for backing tracks. From classic singalongs and indie/rock favourites to modern pop, his sets are designed to get people listening, singing along and enjoying themselves.
With a broad repertoire spanning the 1950s to today, Jack covers a wide range of artists, styles and eras, making his set adaptable to different audiences and occasions. Requests are welcome in advance, with up to three songs learned especially for your event.
Jack has almost two decades of professional experience, having performed extensively across the UK in bands and tribute acts, played major festivals, and recorded music for commercial releases and established artists.
Whether you’re looking for an upbeat acoustic set to add atmosphere to a busy pub or party, or something more relaxed for a wedding or private event, Jack can tailor his performance to suit the occasion. Fully self-contained with professional PA and lighting, and public liability insurance included.

- Preferably 2mx2m of space with between 2 to 4 13amp mains power supply.
- Parking space/loading area as close to performance space as possible.
Yes. Fully self-contained with PA system and stage lighting.
It would be good to know if the venue has a sound limiter, and whether there is a stage.
Yes - happy to play music before, after and between my sets.
Download Festival was the best gig I’ve ever done. Amazing to perform at such an iconic festival with some incredible bands.
- I always arrive 1 - 2 hours before I'm due to play in order to allow sufficient time for me to set up, depending on the function.
- Standard performance times are 3 x 30 minute sets or 2 x 45 minute sets but of course can be tailored to suit the event.
- I can provide backing music/a DJ set in between my sets as well, on request.
I’m happy to perform outside but ideally this would be a shady and flat/level surface with a power supply close to the performance area.
I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 3 songs. You are welcome to pick some songs from my example repertoire or get in touch to discuss the wide range of songs I cover.
Previous customers would probably describe me as a high energy act that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing and singing.
