Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

All I need is an ample power supply (one plug socket) and shade if it’s outside to see my pedal board. I’ll make any space work to suit your needs.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Ok completely self contained although I tend not to use lighting as it can be cheesy.


What information do you require about a venue?

Directions and where to park, unload and set up is all I need.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes I can provide a laptop with Spotify to load any requested playlist, providing there is an internet connection on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

To many to mention but as a big Beatles fan, playing at the Cavern several times as definitely a highlight!


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

The Beatles, Oasis and many more. I also love dance music and drum and bass, although this is not in my act. Although I do an excellent loop cover of Insomia.
My favoured artist of all time is Paul Mc Cartney. He is the master of melodies.


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

Self taught guitarist and always loved to sing. I’ve have over 20 year experience playing professionally all over the world.


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

I do love wedding along with great busy pub crowds too

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I tend to arrive an hour before to set up although it usually only takes 30 minutes to do so. Set wise the usual times are 4x45 minutes or 2x1 hours slots. I’m always happy to play straight through or play longer or shorter depending on your needs.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Of course. Outside performances are always fun. I’ll only ask for shade so I can see my pedal board lights and cover from the rain for my equipment if the weather isn’t looking to good.


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

Requests are always welcome. I don’t follow a strict set list. Song requests to be learnt can be requested but ample time to listen and learn them is required.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

All my reviews are currently 10 stars and customers say they love my energy, song choices and character.
