Too many! But recently Luke Coombs - his lyric writing and melodies are insane! I was fortunate enough to see him live and the show was amazing! Country was a genre I hadn’t really listen to until around 5 years ago - so a great way of getting into new genre.

Started when at high school. Played in orchestras, junior bands and put bands together myself. Won your stereotypical ‘battle of the bands’ and got recording time as the prize - I was hooked! Went to university and continued to perform and study. When leaving university stayed in Chester and put together my own function band in 2008 which I still play in to this day! This along other regular bands has been the last 17ish years of live experience. I have also done various theatre shows, bandeoke work and artist accompaniment.

Big corporate parties, weddings and high profile events. Anything where you have a large audience and get them dancing. I love doing roaming gigs where you can go into the crowd and really get the party started!

Yes I enjoy doing dep work with other bands. I am reliable and can recall from a huge catalogue of songs I have previously played. I have many charts available to recall - and have no issue with learning new material if required. I also sing lead/backing

Minimum time for setup 1 hour prior to playing. Flexible for performance times depending on event times.

Outside no issue. Weather dependent - preferably some form of shelter (eg gazebo with sides to ensure electric items safe so on) Flat level surface required with adequate power

Flexible based on song list or band in need of bass player/singer. Able to learn songs eg first dance but need to know in advance and based on song rehearsal required etc.

High energy, great sound and kept the dance floor full all night.

High energy, detailed interpretation and solid. Many years of experience playing live makes for a comfortable environment. Able to interact with the crowd, liaise with clients on the run up/day of event.
