Depends on the venue.
For larger venues-500 people plus-a PA system would be needed, either provided by the booker or booked in by me, at ean xtra cost.
For smaller venues, indoors and outdoors, I have a portable sound system.
See above.
Larger venue bookings, sound and lighting can be provided by request.
The size-how many people expected to be in attendance.
That will determine what sound system is needed.
We need to know the postcode that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment.
We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes

Best song? John Lennon's Imagine. I sometimes play high-end John Lennon and John and Paul tribute shows. And Imagine is on the setlist.
And I played Imagine live on Serbia's most popular TV show Grand TV. See above.
I have been playing guitar since I was five.
I played my first gig at school as a nine year old.
I love playing festivals.
Played five last summer-four of them back to back.
I also enjoy playing private parties, sometimes intimate ones with just an acoustic guitar and my voice.
Yes.
Internationally known for this very niche and high end market.
Also play shows with AAron Ardvark, international Paul McCartney tribute.

Larger venues (500 people plus) 60-90 minutes

Yes. Have done and will do.
Clients usually leave me and my band to it .
Some clients do specify particular songs (eg one outdoor garden party in Bath, the owner was a U2 fan so , on his wife's request, I learned 3x U2 numbers)
They enjoyed seeing their audience involved and singing along.
