JtS has experience in front of small and large events and has a crowd pleasing attitude with the focus on engaging with the audience. Either by playing the classics they want to hear, or by animating & encouraging them into singing and dancing along.

JtS has recently got into writing some original music.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Every gig, from weddings to parties are memorable in their own ways, as pubs and clubs too.
At one gig I made the mistake of jumping off the large stage to interact with the audience and found I couldnt get back on the stage without help!

Massive Bowie fan and saw him about 5 times along with Springsteen, who my stage persona is based on (5 hr set my longest). All the young dudes/Born to run


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

Been in many bands, duos and of course solo!
Started as bass player in a ski instructor band many moons ago, 4 songs we repeated while supporting main band.
Played in Andorra, Spain, France and of course all over UK, Scotland, Wales, Southend England but not Ireland (N&S) yet!


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

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Very quick set up and breakdown depending on size of venue and therefore size of PA.
Performance times can be discussed but range from 2 or 3 45 minute sets, 2 or 3 1 hour sets or a bespoke set up to suit your requirements.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes as long as there's cover, rain or shine, everyone thinks of rain cover but, being in the hot sun for a performance is not gr8 either.


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

Yes there's a specific part for that in my profile, pick from an extensive list, or suggest and I'll try to learn if theres time!
