Loveguitar is a modern update on the traditional classical guitarist - ideal for weddings, dinner parties and other events. The repertoire consists of modern and classic pop songs played instrumentally, with options of movie/musical tunes and vintage jazz. The focus is firmly on romantic and feel good hits with beautiful arrangements of favourite tunes by artists such as Ed Sheeran, The Beatles, John Legend, Queen, Elton John, Rihanna, Madness, Spice Girls, McFly and many more!

"It was amazing having you play our wedding it really made the atmosphere magical. Thank you so much!"

Hi, I'm Rob of 'Loveguitar' and I play intimate arrangements of favourite romantic ballads and up-tempo songs. The repertoire focuses on the contemporary hits and classic songs most clients have grown up with and enjoy listening to today. As well as the artists mentioned above, I also have tunes by The Stone Roses, Foo Fighters, Marvin Gaye, Cyndie Lauper, Neil Young, Frank Sinatra plus songs from Toy Story, Frozen. Song choices focus on themes of love and happiness - care has been taken to avoid anything dark or serious, keeping a feel good theme throughout.

Arrangements are perfectly suited to creating a lovely backdrop. They are unobtrusive whilst celebrating the song, interesting enough to listen to attentively and equally perfect for sitting in the background whilst guests chat.

The standard option is for two sets, typically 60 minutes each. For a wedding this can be; playing in the wedding ceremony and drinks reception; the drink reception and wedding breakfast; or for an additional waiting fee the ceremony and wedding breakfast. There is also an option for three appearances if you want guitar music in the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. A wedding ceremony performance included playing for 30 minutes before the ceremony starts as guests settle, playing the bride's entrance music, playing during the signing of the register and finally providing the exit music. Equally if you have different ideas of how you would like acoustic guitar music to fit into your event simply get in touch and I will be happy to work with your plans.

Love Guitar is equally perfect for other events including dinner parties, corporate events, gala dinners, charity events and funerals.

I am happy to arrange and perform an additional song of your choice not in the repertoire for your event free of charge.

Equipment - in addition to the obvious guitar - consists of a single powered speaker on a stand. This is loud enough to be heard in any environment the act is likely to be booked for, but simple to set up and transport, meaning it is no trouble to move to different areas or venues between sets.

I have many years performance experience in a range of different styles. I have a BA(Hons) degree in Popular Music and Recording and have played for clients for years as part of an acoustic jazz duo and in a function/party band as well as a solo guitarist. Additionally I have worked for years as a guitar tutor privately and in schools. I aim to couple excellent music with a professional approach and a high level of customer service and communication to help to make your event as special as possible.

Please note that Loveguitar is instrumental, so there is no singing. Also due to the intimate nature of the arrangements it is perfect for creating a musical backdrop but not a suitable replacement for a band or DJ for a disco/dance type event.
